    The best games I watched all weekend were Boise State-Virginia Tech, Navy-Maryland, and Tulsa-East Carolina.

    Florida and Oklahoma both moved down in the polls, despite winning, based on being pretty flat. I wouldn't expect to see that from either next week. I'm not sure what to think of the Sooners after that performance. Hoping it was just a fluke and not indicative of anything serious.

    Oklahoma State surprised the heck out of me. Yeah, I know it was Washington State, but no way did I expect them to win by that margin or put up the numbers they did. Kendall Hunter finally looks like the All-American he was a Sophomore after being banged up and missing most all of last season.
    Maryland/Navy was awesome. Maryland has had a rough football program these past two seasons and Navy is a really good football team. I was completely shocked to see Maryland pull the upset. I don't expect much from them which just makes it great when these upsets do occur.

      That was a solid win. Navy ran all over them and dominated the stats, but the Terps bowed up when they needed to. That last goal line stand showed me they wanted it more.

        Yeah, I don't ever want to hear about them beating Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl again.

        You know, Boise State might just become a template for how to get it done. That's a team of guys that will probably never play in the NFL (or at least won't be leaving until they've put in their time) and without that distraction, you get some continuity and teams that are "teams" like we used to see. Boise State is "Old School" and "Old School" is shaking it up. The pendulum might swing back to what College Football has traditionally been should they keep winning. You can bet the "playbook" will change if they ever win a National Championship.

        Granted, they may become a victim of their own success when they get a shot at big time players, but if they win with these types of players, it might be a sign of things to come. Continuity and being able to develop players is all but lost, but Boise State and TCU are kind of reminding us of how it should be.

        Just to put this into perspective, Boise State has only been a Division 1 team since 1996.

        And yes, it is about coaching, but it's also about the "program". Houston Nutt, Dirk Koetter and Dan Hawkins established something that Petersen has built on. However, all three of them used the program as a stepping stone to better programs. And what can you say about any of Petersen's predecessors, now?

        Petersen came in committed and I give him credit for what he has achieved.

            Boise St is a good team, but they do not deserve a shot at the NC because of strength of schedule.

            Can they go undefeated with a schedule even like LSU's schedule (and we don't even have the toughest schedule). LSU plays six top 25 teams.

            For the record, I do not believe in playoffs. I like the ranking system.

              While I agree, they are trying to go out and play some tough teams. Nobody wants to play them.

              On the other hand, I think VT is over rated, they have one play, run the QB.

              I do wish there was a playoff system.

                i would love a play-off, with a bye week for undefeated teams as a reward

                        I thought some of this weeks games were going to be just a little bit closer...

                        Glad Michigan beat Notre Dame. I have relatives up there.
