College football wrap up...

#1 Florida shut up the Volunteers from Tennessee by knocking them off 23-13. Tim Tebow did not have a good game turning the ball over twice(one interception, one fumble) but he continually provided the leadership that only he could provide. Tebow ripped off plenty of big runs and he extended plays with legs and he rallied the players to another victory.

#2 Texas got revenge from last year's loss to the Texas Tech Red Raiders 34-24. Colt McCoy had a bad game(24/34 for 205 yards 1td 1 int) but the level of talent around him was able to overcome his shortcomings to remain undefeated.

#3 USC was upset once again by an unranked PAC-10 on the road and Washington was the culprit this time upending the Trojans on a last second field goal 16-13. Washington was 0-12 last year and hired their head coach was hired after being the Trojans offensive coordinator last year. Freshman Matt Barkley was not able to play and the offense suffered not finding any rhythm and unable to put points on the board.

#4 Alabama routed North Texas 53-7. #5 Penn State dominated in state rival Temple 31-6. #6 Ole Mississippi had no troubles destroying SE Louisiana 52-6.

#7 BYU was upset by Florida State ruining any chance that they had of getting a shot at the BCS National title game 54-28. What really hurts the Cougars is that the big loss was at home.

#8 California went on the road and gave the Minnesota Golden Gophers their first loss of the season 35-21. The win coupled with USC's loss makes Cal the favorite to win the PAC-10.

#9 LSU routed LA-Lafayette 31-3. #11 Ohio State shut out the Toledo Rockets 38-0 at Cleveland Browns Stadium. #12 Oklahoma wasted little energy in shutting down Tulsa 45-0.

#13 Virginia Tech needed a last minute touchdown to knock off #19 Nebraska 16-15. Tyrod Taylor shook off would be defenders extending the play with his legs and eventually found an open Hokie receiver in the back of the endzone for the game winning score.

#15 TCU easily handled Texas State 56-21. #16 Oklahoma State kept Rice defeated beating them 41-24.

#17 Cincinnati picked up a big road win by traveling to the state of Oregon to knock off the Beavers 28-18 to remain undefeated.

#18 Utah was upset on the road losing to the Oregon Ducks 31-24 ending the nations longest winning streak at 16 games.

#22 Kansas shook off Duke 44-16 at home. #23 Georgia got all they could handle from the Arkansas Razorbacks in a shootout but they came out on top 52-41. #24 North Carolina powered past East Carolina 31-17. And to round out the top-25 Michigan matched last years win total by eventually taking control of the Eastern Michigan Eagles 45-17 and setting themselves up to exceed the 3 wins from 2008 with another home game next week against Indiana.
