My two teams won!  Michigan managed keep their head up against Western Michigan, not a big win but if you look at Michigan's recent games this one counts!

Alabama came through and managed to beat Virginia Tech in a gruesome battle.  My wife is a graduate of Alabama and I will soon be attending Bama as a student so I have become a pretty hard core fan of the Tide.

The Bama-VTech game was a head snapper.  Wasn't sure if we were going to win this one, the score went back and forth, but we came through in the end and the Tide rolled.  8-)

My team won handily, which is to be expected.  Amazed that Oklahoma lost, and Colorado losing to Colorado State, well, that's just funny ;D

East Carolina steamrolled Appalachian State in the first half of their game, but barely kept the lead in the second. ECU's playing style has always been like that, score a bunch in the first half and then get overconfident in the second and either win by a little, or lose by a little. (But I'm still happy they won.) :D

Was gunna start one but I didn't think we had alot of College Football fans here  ;D

Well im a HUGE Cal fan...
and they dominated this week...

Jahvid Best (heisman canidate) rushed for 80 yds and 2 tds in less than 2 minutes of the game.  :o Of course we smashed Maryland 52-13. Im happy our QB passed for 4 tds, and 250 yds so I know we have some good receivers.

Well now that #3 Oklahoma lost and VT lost hopefully Cal can move into the top 10!  :D

Here's this years Hiesman Watch-

They say this is the year Cal can beat USC!  :D

There is also a College Football Challenge, which is like fantasy football, except you get to use all players, instead of ones you draft. http://games.espn.go.com/cfc/en/splash
I've created a group for that one, also. Same info as above. http://games.espn.go.com/cfc/en/group?groupID=8010

Damn.

Such a good game to watch. Both offenses were so explosive in the second half. :o
I have to say, sorry but the Freshman kicker did something I thought no College kicker would ever do. His first PAT attempt was HORRIBLE.  ;D Then the second he hit the post and barely made it. But what was amazing is how he can make a 51 yard field goal and a 45 or something which could have been 10 more yards longer with his leg.

Dissapointed that the WSU Cougars lost to Standford, 39-13 :-/

Wow, I would have never thought Stanford would win...but both Washington and Washington State teams were really bad last year.  :-/ They need to rebuild although Washington had a good game against LSU. There team looks alot stronger than last year.
