Alabama didn't win pretty, but the final score was indicative of a dominant performance score-wise, taking down #25 Mississippi State 30-10. Who would've guessed that Julio Jones would've had Alabama's longest rush of the day, scampering for 56 yards and a TD, where as former Heisman trophy winner Mark Ingram was limited to 53 yards *total*? Next up: Thursday, Georgia State, 7:30. |

Ryan Mallett looked silly against borderline bowl UTEP, 58-21. The junior/former Wolverine completed 19/26 for 215 and 5 TDs. While officially eliminated from the SEC West race, the Hogs are still very much alive in terms of bowl posturing madness. Next up: at #25 Mississippi State, 7:00. |

The road to redemption is paved with ACC skulls. Tyrod Taylor's third quarter brilliance helped the Hokies break away from North Carolina and improve their season mark to 6-0 in-conference, winning, 26-10. Next up: #23 Miami, 3:30. |

After struggling with K-State (and the ghost of Power Towel's past) early, Blaine Gabbert and Mizzou took control and ultimately prevailed over Kansas State 38-28. Gabbert ultimately completed 17/25 for 208, 2 TDs, and a pick on the afternoon. Next up: at Iowa State, 7:00. |

There was no post-Texas A&M hangover as the Sooners played host to Tommy Tuberville's Red Raiders and absolutely lit up the Red Raiders, 45-7. Ryan Boyles cemented his place amongst the all-time sooner greats finding himself on the receiving end of 3 Landry Jones TDs and setting multiple school records in the process. Next up: at Baylor, 8:00. |

In one of the WACiest games of the year (see what I did there?!?), the Pack bounced back against a precocious Fresno State team and ultimately kept their WAC title hopes alive, putting down the Bulldogs, 35-34. Next up: Bye Week. |

In arguably the biggest win in school history, South Carolina absolutely embarrassed a lifeless Florida side, winning 36-14. In doing so, the 'Cocks clinched their first ever SEC East divisional championship and a trip to Atlanta in the process. Next up: Troy, 12:21. |

In easily the biggest win in the Lane Kiffin era, SC took advantage of an early lead and were able to hold on down the stretch, defeating #24 Arizona 24-21. SC frustrated the previously high regarded 'Cats defense putting up 382 yards of offense in the effort. Next up: at Oregon State, 8:00. |

On the precipice of their first trip to the Top 25 in years, A&M outlasted a high scoring Baylor side en route to a 42-30 victory. New'ish quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 27/38 for 280 and a a TD on the afternoon while Cyrus Gray rushed for 137 yards and 4 TDs including the prohibitive TD. Next up: Nebraska, 8:00. |

Went into their annual showdown with (just) Northwestern with the same aplomb they have for 4 of the previous 5 showdowns, falling flat on their faces down the stretch and losing 21-17. Despite just one turnover, the Hawkeyes couldn't escape a fate all too familiar. Next up: #7 Ohio State, 3:30. |

Unlike the usual all-too familiar script in situations of these variety, Florida State faced a 55 yard field goal as time expired and actually converted the try, downing Clemson in the process, 16-13. EJ Manuel was fairly efficient in completing 15/24 of his attempts for 210 with 0 TDs and a pick filling in for the injured Christian Ponder. Perhaps more impressively he added 70+ on the ground. Next up: at Maryland, 8:00. |

Facing a surprisingly down Georgia Tech side, Miami needed to but play their game and keep from looking ahead to the following week's clash with Virginia Tech. Miami did just that and more, pounding a disoriented looking Rambling Wreck (emphasis on Wreck), 35-10. Next up: #20 Virginia Tech, 3:30. |

Played host to USC in perhaps the most opportune time to catch a down Trojans team since... Well last year, but were unable to hold their end of the bargain, ultimately coming up just short 24-21. Nick Foles was up to his usual tricks showing no signs of the injuries that had curtailed him recently in completing 32 of 48 passes for 353 yards and all 3 Arizona scores. Next up: Bye Week. |

Hung with #12 Alabama early but couldn't do enough down the stretch to keep things competitive, ultimately falling 30-10. The two headed quarterback duo of Tyler Russell and Chris Reif completed 12/23 for 150 and a TD in the losing effort. Next up: vs #13 Arkansas, 7:00. |
