No surprise last Friday, Sooners are dominant and definite contenders for a BCS game. Red River shootout on Oct. 6 likely to decide the South, OU get to warm up with some Bison meat this weekend.

First the actual upsets:

Biggest upset special Saturday was Syracuse blowing up Louisville's season, winning 38-35, sending the Cardinals staggering out of the rankings and falling to 2-2 despite 555 yds and 4 TDs from QB Brian Brohm.

The other big surprise for me personally was Virginia upending Georgia Tech 28-23, never thought the Cavs would be able to move the ball like that on the Yellowjacket D.

The Wolverines bounce back and drop formerly #10 Penn St 14-9, big win for Lloyd Carr.

Okie St (49) out gunned the biggest gun in the Big 12, Texas Tech's (45) Graham Harrell, who threw for 646 yds and 5 TDs in a LOSING effort, with the teams combining for 1300 yards in the game. Maybe the Husker D isn't so bad after all. OK< yes it really is just as bad.

Next some of the near upsets:

NU 41, Ball St 40 - Huskers avoid the upset due to a missed 55 yd FG with only a couple tics remaining. Ouch. Blackshirts looking quite inept, give up 600 yards.

Florida gets a unexpected challenge on the road from Ole Miss 30-24. This one wasn't over until a late INT and a nearly six minute drive resulted in a Gator FG to stretch the lead to 6 and almost finish off the clock.

Navy had a near thing with Duke, 46-43, and Wyoming stages a late comeback to edge Frank Solich's Bobcats 34-33. Wake takes out Maryland 31-24 and Georgia stops Nick Saban's Crimson Tide in OT 26-23. Wisconsin holds off Iowa with a late score 17-13.

In the Big 12, Kansas beats up another grade school squad (Florida International) 55-3, Mizzou continues to roll taking out Illinois St 38-17, Baylor knocks off Turner Gill's Buffalo squad 34-21, and Colorado(?) shuts out Miami of Ohio 42-0. Texas bombs Rice 58-14, while Iowa St falls due to a botched punt recovered in the end zone to Toldeo, 36-35. Mizzou and KU both have bye weeks this weekend.
