(Lack of) The Power of Ten

What a great weekend for upsets in the land of college football.

With five of the top ten teams losing this weekend, plus the top 2 teams both not looking great in their victories, the college football league and national championships are any team's for the taking...that is unless you are undefeated and play on blue turf...apologies to the Boise Staters from last year.

Here's the rundown of the weekend:

Friday Night:

#18 USF 21, #5 WVU 13 - My second favorite team in Florida continued their hot run by shutting down the Mountaineers, albeit without Pat White for the 2nd half.

Saturday:

Colorado 27, #3 Oklahoma 24 - Colorado's offense looked atrocious earlier in the season, but some costly turnovers helped the Buffs to an unbelievable upset.

Auburn 20, #4 UF 17 - So much for Tim Tebow being "God". The War Chickens seem to have the Gators number after beating them for the 2nd time in the last two years (they are the only team to beat UF in the last 19 games).

Kansas State 41, #6 Texas 21 - Kansas State's special teams dominated this game and Texas looked like they were lost for most of the game...

Maybe they aren't focused enough during the TV timeouts, as shown in this hilarious video found on Awful Announcing via Break.com taken from their struggles the week before against lowly UCF. Mack Brown seems to really have his teams focused on the task at hand...

Maryland 34, #10 Rutgers 24 - Apparently Greg Schiano's boys aren't as good as they appeared after they finally played a "real" opponent. And by real, I mean pathetic ACC bottom feeder using a back-up QB.

In total, there were nine Top 25 teams who went down and being a Seminole fan and resident of South Florida, no victory was sweeter than the Noles triumph over the Nick Satan lead Alabama Crimson Tide.

It was a great college football weekend, hopefully the big boys at the NFL can match it today and tomorrow!
