Quote:The conference of the week. The following happened:

Miami turned the ball over on its first four possessions (three interceptions, a pulled starting quarterback, and a fumble) and was down 28-0 to Virginia Tech with six seconds to go in the first half. They then hit a Hail Mary, came all the way back to tie the game at 35 in the fourth quarter with three touchdowns in about three minutes, and lost.
Puke-and-rally Pitt blew a 23-point lead to Duke before springing a four-play, 82-yard, final-minute victory drive.
Boston College and Louisville combined for 1,227 and 80 points in a game that came down to a last-second fourth-down stop by the Cardinals.
And the only “normal” game was coached by ... 68-year-old Mack Brown.

and this about the Big Ten:

Quote:The Fox Broadcasting Company, by Jason

When Big Nude Saturday features a Big 12 game, you get 60 points all at once. When Big Nude Saturday features a Big Ten game, you have to spread those 60 points across all of Fox’s games for that day, like so:

Michigan 10, Iowa 3
Nebraska 13, Northwestern 10
Oregon 17, Cal 7

Hey, at least now we know what the "Ten" stands for -- points per game!

Now Michigan will probably be ranked 3rd in the AP poll after that [cough] "big" win.

No, 4th... Florida will be 3rd.

Auburn beats Kent State by a wide amount and we get our scheduling criticized and the game barely mentioned. Wisconsin beats them and it is lauded as a benchmark of the Badger's defensive streak of having 3 shutouts this year, albeit against very weak competition, for which they are not called out. It's all about the spin.

Look's like I was right when I said it was likely there would be much higher misses for the winners this week. Truly there were a lot of pick'em games and couple of surprises.
