Eastern Carolina has done it again. Last week, it was Virginia Tech. This week, it's #8 West Virginia. Skip Holtz' Pirates didn't even allow the Mountaineers to make it close, beating them 24-3. ECU's schedule isn't that tough from here on out, so maybe they'll be the next non-BCS team to crash the party. Is it possible?Joe Paterno got his 374th win, passing Bobby Bowden for #1 all time. At least until Bowden's Seminoles blow out Western Carolina. The Nittany Lions looked great, dominating Oregon State 45-14.
#2 Georgia 56, Central Michigan 17 - The Bulldogs may have been upset about losing their #1 spot, but they did their part this week. Unfortunately, they'll need a loss by USC to regain the top spot, especially if the Trojans beat OSU next week.
#4 Oklahoma 52, Cincinnati 26 - The Bearcats were simply outmatched against the Sooners. This one was never really close, after OU jumped out to a 14-0 1st quarter lead.
#15 Brigham Young 28, Washington 27 - BYU looks eerily similar to last year's Hawaii team, who barely beat Washington, and then got blown out in the Sugar Bowl. BYU is everyone's pick for the non-BCS conference team to crash a BCS bowl, but if they win against Washington by a missed PAT, it looks like they've got a lot of work to do.
#18 Oregon 66, Utah State 24 - Nothing to see, here. Just a top-25 team doing what it's supposed to do.
#20 Wake Forest 30, Mississippi 28 - The Demon Deacons won, but this is just one more example of why the ACC sucks. Ole Miss isn't a "good" SEC team, by any stretch.
Virginia Tech 24, Furman 7 - Frank Beemer and his crew rebounded against Furman, but it still wasn't exactly convincing. It could get real ugly once the Hokies hit the "tough" part of their schedule.
