First of all I liked to say I can't remember in a while the last time I saw so many upsets in a week. 1. #5 West Virginia vs. #18 South Florida 2. #21 Penn St vs. Illionis 3. #3 Oklahoma vs. Colorado 4. #10 Rutgers vs. Maryland 5. #7 Texas vs. Kansas St. 6. #13 Clemson vs. Georgia Tech 7. #22 Alabama vs. Florida St. 8. #4 Florida vs. Auburn Myself I would chose the Oklahoma falling to Colorado. Oklahoma looked like they were just going to walk through the Big 12 go undefeated, and might play for the National Championship. Texas has looked shaky pretty much every game this season so the loss didn't come too much as a suprise.
I have to agree with OrangeRowdy... Illinois hasn't beaten very many schools in their conference recently. Though I would have to have Kansas St over Texas as a close second.
No way to Illinois. Zook finally has enough recruits in and Juice Williams is a play maker. Penn State has been overrated as is Wisconsin. Also Maryland over Rutgers isn't even an upset in my book.
McCoy got hurt in the 2nd quarter. Had he been 100%, then there would have been absolutely no excuse for losing. Illinois has pretty much come out of nowhere.
Cal winning for the 1st time in 20 years at Oregon. NC St scoring 10 pts at home against one of the worst defenses in Louisville. PSU's QB is terrible. He cost them the game last week and did again this week.
Florida losing at home to Auburn is the biggest upset. Auburn has struggled this year so nobody saw the defending national champs being taken out at home. OU blowing it at Colorado is the 2nd biggest. In the heartbreak category, this game was #1 by far. Blowing a 24-7 lead is almost unforgivable. Illinois beating Penn State is 3rd. If Penn State hadn't lost to Michigan, this would have been #1. Plus, Penn State's QB just doesn't have it. UT losing is #4. I don't care what anybody says, South Florida beating West Virginia wasn't an upset. They would have won by a large margin if their QB wasn't awful.
Let me also add that the freshman kicker on Auburn is from Ft. Lauderdale. Watching him mock the Gator Chomp after the FG was awesome, especially since he had to kick twice.
OU.... Texas has looked like ass in almost every game this season. It was no surprise, they are highly overrated this season.
1) #3 Oklahoma vs. Colorado - OU seemed like a juggernaut, but man were they caught looking ahead... 2) #13 Clemson vs. Georgia Tech - Georgia Tech is so up and down...seems like they would be a lock for a top 25 team if they could only get up for the "filler" games like they do for the big games... 3) #7 Texas vs. Kansas St. - Colt McCoy...wow, I didn't think he'd be this bad even in his freshman year...and the D is looking horrendous 4) #4 Florida vs. Auburn - don't ever be surprised by anything that happens in the SEC....parity up and down the entire board. 5) #22 Alabama vs. Florida St. - didn't see this one coming, but bama was ranked pretty low.... 6) #5 West Virginia vs. #18 South Florida - USF bandwagon full already? They're the only Big East team I think is legitimate 7) #21 Penn St vs. Illionis - PSU is overrated every single year (quite possibly more than even the Ntre Ame Golden Domers)...and they manage to show just how badly the media sucks up to them and JoePa 8) #10 Rutgers vs. Maryland - eh, thought Maryland would take it anyway...
This might've been a psychological barrier but not a upset in any other sense. Cal doesn't play Oregon every year and half the time its been at Berkeley where CAL has done pretty well. Last year the Bears destroyed the Ducks in Berkeley when the Ducks were ranked 5 places above the Bears. So while this did seem like a big deal its really been a matter of in recent years two good teams defending their turf or when Cal has been bad playing at Oregon and when Cal has been good Oregon playing at Cal.
