Let me say before I start going through the games that this was the single worst segment of games I think I have ever seen. Blowouts abound all over the place.
Boise St. 37, Air Force 26 – This was the one exception to the blowout festival, and it will kill Boise St. in the polls. With all the other games blowouts, voters were hunting for a close game and this was it, just in time to ding Boise St. in the polls.
Nebraska 41, Minnesota 14 – Why on Earth did I in Los Angeles have this game on my ABC affiliate? As for the game, Minnesota successfully continued its quest to be the worst Big Ten team in the era of scholarship limits.
Virginia Tech 30, Boston College 14 – Hokies started slow, but Boston College lacks the offensive talent to take advantage of anyone starting slow against them.
TCU 69, New Mexico 0 – This is obviously still Locksley's fault.
LSU 45, Auburn 10 – Auburn got penalized, LSU scored and the game got away. Oddly, Auburn didn't play all that badly nor LSU all that well in the first half (21-3 LSU lead). Then the deluge came and it looked really bad.
Florida St. 41, Maryland 16 – New coach Randy Edsall's inability to run any semblance of passing offense has destroyed his previously good young quarterbacks and likely his team for the foreseeable future Remember that his UConn teams were just as abysmal at the quarterback position.
Oregon 45, Colorado 2 – Ducks took it easy in the 2nd half. Meanwhile, is it more embarrassing to get shut out or score 2 points.
Miami 24, Georgia Tech 7 – The wheels have come off the Ramblin' Wreck the last two weeks. Not a good sign with the Clemson wrecking machine coming to town next week.
East Carolina 38, Navy 35 – Normally a game between two 2-4 teams wouldn't get a mention here, but when one quarterback (ECU's Dominique Davis) completes his first 26 passes and the game ends in controversy (Navy appeared to have won the game but the catch was overruled on replay, dubiously on the Calvin Johnson rule) with a tying field goal off the upright to end the game, it at least deserves a mention.
Texas A&M 33, Iowa St. 17 – Ho hum from Texas A&M. Looks like they are over their 2nd half yips.
