Wow. What a day it has been, and the prime time games are just getting going.
Michigan’s Lloyd Carr is definitely on the hot seat now. Forget his struggles in bowls and against Ohio State – the ignominy of losing to a I-AA school at home while ranked #5 is much, much worse. Michigan has the most talent in the Big Ten by most accounts, and losing to Appalachian State, no matter how many I-AA championships it has, it completely unacceptable.
Georgia Tech hammered Notre Dame. This is significant because A) it was in South Bend, and B) Chan Gailey is a very conservative coach and it was still 33-3. Notre Dame is in serious, serious trouble.
Washington State put up a valiant effort for a half against Wisconsin. Bill Doba might survive the year after all.
Georgia is looking better so far than I thought it would, and Kansas State is hanging in there with Auburn more than I was expecting. Cal got an early cheap touchdown against Tennessee, but the Vols came back with an Erik Ainge touchdown pass to tie it. This one might end up a shootout.
I am reserving my thoughts on the Florida game for a dedicated post about it, but suffice it to say the game felt familiar, and I think Urabn is going to be frustrated with his running game again.
By the way, my ESPN.com College Pick ‘Em Picks, which I will post each week after they have been locked in, were as follows:
- UCLA over Stanford (10 points)
- Wisconsin over Washington State (9)
- Miami (FL) over Marshall (8)
- Missouri over Illinois (7)
- BYU over Arizona (6)
- Auburn over Kansas State (5)
- Georgia Tech over Notre Dame (4)
- Georgia over Oklahoma State (3)
- Colorado over Colorado State (2)
- Tennessee over Cal (1)
