College Football Update - October 1st

Here's just few of my thoughts from today's games.
  • It's been a great day of college football for Georgia fan. Georgia pulled off a 24-10 win over Mississippi State in a game where the defense showed its skills. Even better news is that South Carolina was upset by Auburn and now has a SEC loss of their own. To add on the good news, Florida just lost 38-10 to Alabama with Brantley limping off the field right before halftime. With a relatively easy schedule the rest of the way, we just need one more team to beat South Carolina and we could see the Dawgs playing in the SEC Championship Game. 
  • Both Texas and Oklahoma breezed through Iowa State and Ball State, respectively, and head into the Red River Rivalry game undefeated. Texas is going to be looking to ruin Oklahoma national title run and reassert themselves in the college football landscape after a rough year. 
  • Texas A&M got a taste of what the can expect on a weekly basis next year as they lost Arkansas 42-38. The blew another huge lead ans they went into the half leading 35-17 only to watch Arkansas outscore them 25-3 in the second half. They wanted to leave the Big 12 to escape from Texas's shadow, but they will soon realize they will have to play four to five Texas-talented teams every year now. 
  • Boise State continued their bid for yet another undefeated season beating Nevada 30-10. I'm sure it was nice for them to get revenge after Nevada ruined their season last year. It will be interesting to see what bowl they end up in this year. 
  • Did anyone see Clemson being 5-0 at this point of the season? They started the year unranked and have now beaten Auburn, Florida State, and Virginia Tech in three straight weeks. With the toughest part of their schedule past them, you have to wonder where this Clemson team ends up. Also it looked like Virginia Tech was going to be able to escape their early season upset this year, but it hit them again. 
  • Oh, how the mighty have fallen? Ohio State loses again, this time to Michigan State. With a trip to Nebraska next week and Wisconsin coming up in few weeks, the season could get ugly fast. Ohio State fans must be crying for Tressel right now.
  • Wisconsin just introduced Nebraska to the Big Ten and they did it in a humiliating fashion. Montee Ball had a huge 4-TD game and led the Badgers to a 48-17 win.  With their toughest game past them, Wisconsin has some a chance to make some noise in the national championship picture.
