AROUND THE NCAA WEEK SIX


Week five, oh week five, it just shook up the bottom of the top 25. Not much else. Really.


C-USA SCORES

  • Rice 42, Navy 28 ... Nick Fanuzzi was finally accurate (17/26, 344 yards, 4 TD).. Rice took a 4 TD lead into the final quarter. Not as close as the score seems.
  • Southern Miss 45, Louisville 10 ... Umm.. damn. USM took a 45-0 halftime lead and did not look back. Austin Davis with 4 TD passes.
  • Mississippi State 31, Houston 24 ... Yes, this is the same Houston team that beat Texas Tech. Mississippi State wins the game with 24 unanswered points. Keenum still out for Houston.
  • Memphis loses the most random games alert: UTEP (previously 0-5) 31, Memphis 17 ... Memphis, you realize if you didn't lose to Middle Tennessee State and NOW UTEP you'd be in the top 25?!!
  • SMU 31, ECU 22 ... I don't know about you but our win over SMU is looking pretty good that the Mustangs are now 4-2.



NCAA Notable Scores

  • ACC Game of the Year(?): #5 Virginia Tech 38, #20 USF (was 5-0) 17 ... if USF falls out and is replaced by a two or three loss team, the pulls are crazy.
  • #4 Texas 42, #18 Colorado 22 ... And another lowly ranked undefeated team bites the dust.
  • Texas A&M 17, #7 Oklahoma State 14 ... And please welcome aTm to the top 25.
  • #25 Georgia Tech 19, Florida State 7 (2-4, 0-3) ... Is Florida State going to make a bowl game? Welcome to Michigan 2008.
  • #22 Georgia 20, #12 Tennessee 13 ... Tennessee still beat Florida and was lower ranked than them. Oh well, no argument now that they have two losses.
  • WHAT alert: #8 Florida 52, #3 LSU 10 ... Florida just lost alot of season showdown sportsmanship points for running up the score. Tebow with 5 passing TD's and one rushing.
