Week 6 round-up

What another crazy weekend of college football! There is a new #1 in the land (unless you use the AP or this site for your rankings). There are only 11 undefeated BCS teams left in the nation, and that number will only continue to shrink in the coming weeks. Some quick thoughts...

Wisconsin @ Illinois- The fighting Zookers pull off the "upset" at home against Wisconsin. The game that everyone has been waiting for finally came for Wisconsin and they weren't able to work their magic at the end.

Georgia @ Tennessee - Tennessee destroys UGA for the second year in a row and now controls their own destiny in the SEC East with Florida's loss at LSU. After getting crushed by the Gators, the Vols now have the inside track to Atlanta thanks to missing LSU from the West. A surprising road loss for Richt and the Bulldogs

Oklahoma vs. Texas - Texas isn't able to win the game, but surprises me by keeping the game this close. I guess OU really isn't as good as we originally thought. They don't get to celebrate this game for long with undefeated Missouri coming to Norman fresh off of their destruction of Nebraska. On the other side, Mack Brown is back to his great but not elite pre-Vince Young days, it seems. He's going to have to run the table and hope for two Oklahoma losses to get into the Big12 championship. Surprisingly, Texas A&M is at the top of the Big12 South rankings.

Virginia Tech @ Clemson - Virginia Tech still has no offense, but when you can score that many points on defense and special teams you don't need big stats on offense. The return of Beamer Ball was evident in Death Valley East on Saturday

Oklahoma State @ Texas A&M - What started as an Okie State blowout and the end of Coach Fran turned into an Aggie rally that not only puts TAMU in 1st in the Big12 South, but could keep Fran around for another season, especially if Missouri knocks off OU giving them their 2nd Big12 loss. Sorry, Aggie fans.

Ohio State @ Purdue - In what was supposed to be Purdue's coming out party against their first real test they laid an egg. Is Ohio State better this year than they were last year, or are they getting by playing sub par opponents? We might not know until the finale against Michigan (who still isn't a top20 team). Is Illinois really the hardest game on this schedule?

Nebraska @ Missouri - What was supposed to be a statement game for Nebraska after the embarrassment against USC turned into Missouri making a statement that they finally are going to contend for the Big12. If they win Saturday in Norman, they will be back in the top10

Florida @ LSU - Perhaps the best LSU game I've ever watched. Right there with the UGA @ LSU game from 2003 when both teams were ranked in the top 8. Really turned into a heavyweight fight where UF was able to land the early blows, but LSU showed they are the best team in the country this season and fought back with two fourth quarter touchdowns to win by 4. Tim Tebow is the real deal, and should be in New York come the second weekend in December. He might not win, but he's definitely in the top 5 players in America.

Stanford @ USC - I'll be honest, this wasn't on my list of games to watch this weekend because I, like everyone else, thought this would be a blowout. Thankfully I get the Versus network and was able to see live the JDB collapse that will probably cost USC their chance at the BCS National Championship. Stanford played their very best game, but USC did way more to lose this game than Stanford did to win it. The USC defense was dominant and Stanford couldn't do anything to stop USC. If JDB had simply missed his receivers instead of throwing the ball to Stanford defenders they get out of here with a win. Pete Carroll must also be second guessing his decision to go for it on 4th and goal from the 2 at the end of the first half instead of kicking a field goal to go up 12-0. That field goal would have put the game out of reach in the 4th quarter when Stanford scored 17 points to win 24-23
