A couple of interesting results in the early games. I wonder if Maryland will still be Randy Edsall's dream job after today. 38-0 Temple? In Maryland?

Toledo playing well again, leading Syracuse 27-23 with 7 minutes left.

Solid games coming up at 3:30 - (11) FSU @ (21) Clemson, (14) Arkansas @ (3) Alabama, and (7) Oklahoma State @ (8) Texas A&M.

Remember when Memphis actually had a fairly competitive football team? My oh my.

Congrats to Boston College. Maybe got their only win of the year today.

Ole Miss showing why they are maybe even worse than Kentucky.

Army wins at Northwestern...yet getting shut out by Ball State.

Gotta love this sport...

Army down 31-0 at half to a bad Ball State team after beating Northwestern. Maybe Dan Persa is the Heisman after all.

Toledo got hosed against Syracuse. Syracuse missed an extra point, but the refs on the field improperly called it good. It was reviewed and they upheld the ruling, again incorrectly. The video below clearly shows the PAT crossed in front of the goal post. If it had been ruled no good then Toledo's FG at the end of regulation would have won the game instead of tying.

Wow how does a replay official not see that? Your only job is to review replays. Can't say it cost Toledo the game, because Syracuse probably played a little softer defense knowing a field goal only tied things up and the situation might have changed the play calling, but still a major fuck-up.

Texas A&M looks really good. Beating up Oklahoma State 20-3. And Miami is down 14-3 to Kansas State.

I think Toledo's A.D. should tell the NCAA to VACATE THE LOSS from their record.

Clemson up 35-30 on Florida State. Trickett is playing pretty well.

Also, I saw the Tahj Boyd fail interception earlier in the game, and on the replay it looked to me like his knee was down before he released the ball. I only saw 1 replay though.

^ it was close, call could have gone either way, but video was not indisputable enough to reverse it. I'm surprised Trickett is this good. Clemson's Sammy Watkins is the sH!zzi+. Florida wanted him bad. His half brother is a db here.

Clemson in the BCSNC Game?

If they can get by VT next week, they have the easiest last 7 games you could ask for

I don't know why..but I think Dabo Sweeney is one of the more annoying coaches I've ever seen.

Second straight week he's acted like he just won the most impossible game ever

They'll lose at least 3.

But for now, impressive win and Dabo couldn't be more prouder.

I'd say South Carolina. And either Georgia Tech, UNC, or someone completely out of left field because they're Clemson and that's what they always do. Like NC State maybe.

Good finish to the OSU/A&M game. 30-27 Cowboys with 2 minutes left. Matt Millen has brilliantly pointed out that this would be a good time for A&M to get a stop, and that the upcoming 3rd down is a big play in this game.

North Carolina could beat them, Georgia Tech could beat them, South Carolina could beat them.

True..just don't think they're the same Clemson they usually are. Dabo is an annoying douche, but he's a good coach and I just don't think theres any way they lose 3 games with that schedule.
