Miami plays Florida State this weekend. On paper, Miami should wipe the floor with them, but this is a real rivalry. FSU is expected to be competitive and therefore, Miami needs to get a nice lead in the first half to deflate them.

Watched The U this week.

They shamelessly left out the 1986 Sugar Bowl.

Another "can they both lose?" moment for me. I do however love the fact that FSU was ranked so highly and have absolutely sucked from the get go.

Stressful game for the Horns - we had tons of stupid penalties that erased significant plays. We're gonna have to clean that up. Vandy is one scrappy team!

UNRANKED USCar upsets # TexA&M
UNRANKED TEX Tech upsets #11 Iowa State**
UNRANKED U of L upsets #11 CLEM** -Clemson fans were chanting for a blocked FG, their own attempt mind you, and got it! They were pissed. Throwing things on the field at the end of the game.
**CLEM and IS were tied at #11
UNRANKED HOU upset ##17 KSU
#20 SMu upset #18 PITT

I just realized there is another NCAA thread that's sort of being posted in as well as this one and I' ve been posting in it. It is an old one? Some of the posts are recent (besides mine). Can we get rid of it or combine them if THIS is the "official" NCAA thread?

Anyway...great weekend to be a Duck! I was a little worried about that one.

I didn’t think Clemson would beat Louisville and I expected Louisville to come out the victor and they did. As for SC beating Texas A&M, I’m a little surprised, but you can never tell with rivalry games. I figured OSU would take care of Penn State as did SMU over Pitt, but I did NOT expect Texas Tech to beat Iowa State.
