Northwestern @ Miami (OH) 21-3
Minnesota @ Kent State 44-0
Idaho @ Michigan State 17-27
Vanderbilt @ Michigan (14) 7-27

And on the other end of the spectrum, you have the Big 12. Holy shit what a mess.
Colorado lost to Montana State. It looks like they were dominated. by MONTANA STATE. hahahahahaha. Ummm, Dan Hawkins? wtf.
Kansas State was ougained and defeated 1AA Illinois State by 1 point. How embarrassing.
Iowa State, a supposed contender for the Big 12 north, went to triple overtime with Toledo. If you're supposed to be winning your division in a BCS conference, you shouldn't be going to overtime, at home, against a mid-major with a new QB.
OU beat perennial powerhouse UAB by a whopping 7 points. They were losing in the 3rd quarter.
Texas A&M struggled against the Citadel, even if the score was 35-3. They have issues.
Nebraska, Texas, and Tech all looked good, but they do not make up for the suckitude of the above teams.

WTF, I know they lost their QB, but I thought they were supposed to be good this year? I hope they have a nice 7-5 year. |

It will get more interesting next week.
Could go either way
Ohio State @ Texas
Penn State @ Notre Dame
Possible Loss
Minnesota @ Cal
I think others are all sure wins. It would be great if the big 10 wins out next week as well.

I'd change that to probable.

I hear ya. But I'll still be rootin' for Minnesota tho'. Hopefully Cal will be so demoralized at the beating Tennesse gave them this week that...
Well, wistful thinking only takes a man so far.

I'd love for Minnesota to win just so Lee Corso would have to eat his national championship pick (Cal) for dinner.

I don't think I have to apologize for my love of the Big 10 conference, but the SEC has to be the toughest... Alabama, Georgia, Florida, LSU, Auburn, Tennessee are all programs that could contend for the NC any season. The Big 10 has only three such programs: OSU, Michigan and Penn State. It's not without cause that Miami, Florida State and Va Tech went with the Big East and ACC and not with the SEC. I'm kicking my self in the shorts for not calling Tennessee's "upset" of Cal. I called it in an e-mail but didn't "officially" call it on the upsets thread.
Go Nittany Lions! Go Bucks!!
