1. The Seminoles enjoyed a surprisingly easy 45-17 win over Miami. It was the second-most points Florida State scored in the series, and just the fifth time in 55 games that a team enjoyed as big a win. Christian Ponder threw for 173 yards and two touchdowns for Florida State which is off to their best start in conference play since 2005.

2. South Carolina QB Stephen Garcia completed 17 of 20 passes (85%) for 201 yds and 3 TD’s in the Gamecocks 35-21 win over #1 Alabama snapping the Crimson Tide’s 19 game winning streak and also giving them their first win over a #1 team in school history. Garcia picked up a critical fourth-and-1 on the Gamecocks final scoring drive and his only interception came off a bobbled pass.

3. Nebraska QB Taylor Martinez ran for 242 yards (16.1) and four touchdowns, breaking the single-game school record for rushing by a quarterback in Nebraska’s 48-13 win over Kansas St. Martinez also threw for 128 yds and a TD and now has 737 yds rushing on the season in just five games.

4. Illinois got their 1st ever win at PSU. The Illini dominated a Lions D (minus 11 regulars by gm’s end due to inj/susp) rolling up 23-7 FD & 282-65 rush yd edges.

5. Utah fell behind 14-10 after 1Q, but score 31 unanswered pts and cruised to a 68-27 win over Iowa St. The Utes finished with 28-19 FD and 593-348 yd edges and pulled QB Wynn after 3Q’s.

6. The "Mad Hatter" strikes again as LSU HC Les Miles called a fake FG w/less than a minute remaining and the Tigers went on to score a TD with just seconds remaining as they upset Florida 33-29.

7. TCU finished with 578-191 yd and 27-8 FD edges in a 45-0 beating of Wyoming. In the L/2 gms TCU has outFD’d (51-16) and outgained (1052-352) foes and pitched B2B shutouts for the 1st time in 55 years.

8. California returned to their winning ways vs UCLA as the Bears held a UCLA run game that was avg 321 ypg rush (5.9) to a meager 26 yds (1.0) on the ground.
