Connecticut 16, South Florida 10 – Overwhelming proof that South Florida's win over Notre Dame was a turnover and weather aided fluke.
Miami 30, North Carolina 24 – Miami lacks killer instinct to finish teams off, but North Carolina was too far behind and made just enough mistakes to sabotage themselves. Remember that this game was 27-3 at one point.
Missouri 52, Iowa St. 17 – Missouri has underachieved thus far relative to its talent level. This game was not underachievement. Iowa St.'s 3-0 start has now been completely confirmed as a mirage by Texas, Baylor and now Missouri.
Virginia 24, Georgia Tech 21 – The Yellow Jackets still have issues throwing the football, especially against opponents with time to prepare. Also, the Virginia offense doesn't have a high ceiling, but they seem to be pretty consistently average. That's enough to win when the defense is really good.
Washington 52, Colorado 24 – Keith Price is really, really good. Colorado is not so good.
Ohio St. 17, Illinois 7 – Ron Zook is a moron. He lost at home to a team that completed one pass (and isn't an option based offense) and he went for it on 4th and 2 in field goal range down 10 points with a minute to go. He failed and that was the game.
SMU 38, UCF 17 – SMU is on the way to a major showdown with Houston in November for the Conference USA West title. UCF has been aimless since blowing the lead to BYU a few weeks ago.
LSU 38, Tennessee 7 – With Matt Simms and not Tyler Bray, Tennessee had no chance. That said, it wouldn't have mattered considering the 38 points LSU put on the board.
Oklahoma St. 38, Texas 26 – Cowboys didn't look great, but they got the win. That may not be enough to get to the national title game though, especially if Oklahoma loses to someone else and Wisconsin and Stanford remain undefeated. As for Texas, they are obviously improving, but the young talent just isn't ready to beat top ten teams right now.
