Big Upset Weekend (in college football)!

[Pebble2010Champ]

Seven of the Top 10 teams were beat this weekend, creating the most exciting day in college football since January's visit by Ms. Liberty herself to the Rose Bowl as Boise St. upset OU. Here is a quick breakdown of Saturday's drama:

(5) W. Virginia was already down by three TD's going into to 4th quarter and ended up trounced by (18) S. Florida.

(1) USC had a tough match-up and (almost) got beat by Washington, which could cost it the throne as the nation's no. 1.

The (4) Gators got beat by (two) last second field goals from 43 yards despite the old (well, new) trick to ice the kicker.

(3) OU blew a two-touchdown lead by giving them both up in the 4th quarter and then failing to keep Colorado out of field goal range.

(6) Cal barely squeaked by (11) Oregon in a very dramatic game which was (basically) over after a bonehead play by Oregon WR Cameron Colvin with 2 minutes left in the game. On first down and goal from the 5, Colvin caught a pass and made a very weak attempt at trying to break the plane before going out of bounds. The result: a fumble out of the endzone resulting in a turnover and touchback for Cal.

Kansas St. really embarrassed the (7) Longhorns in a 41-21 rout.

(10) Rutgers gave up two touchdowns in the 4th to lose by 10 to Maryland.

(9) Wisconsin barely squeaked out a victory with a last minute defensive stand keeping the Michigan St. Spartans from reaching field goal range (and possibly tying the game). Final score 37-34.

I couldn't think of a better school for the Gators to lose to. Auburn fans are some of the nicest folk around. UF has trouble with Auburn with 3 losses in a row.
