Upset Saturday! Packs Of Underdogs Run WILD!

Unlike professional football, college ball can, will, and sometimes does, operate on pure raw, unadulterated human emotion. Get a group of young men in front of the home crowd and the better team might be the one most willing to put their soul into the game and leave nothing on the field but their hearts. On such days, the ranking system what tells us what team is better than what other teams fails. It fails miserably, and for those who do not understand football there is a stunned silence at the end of the day. Saturday, September 29th, 2007, was such a day.

Number 1 USC escaped with their lives. Barely.

Number 2 LSU rolled, but it was a rarity for yesterday.

Number 3 got their head handed to them by a feisty unranked Colorado team.

Number 4 Florida lost in The Swamp to unranked Auburn.

Number 5 West Virginia got mauled by number 18 South Florida. T

Three of the top five team in the nation fell and two of them to unranked teams. The top team escaped death but barely that. But the bloodletting had just begun.

Number 7 Texas....downed by Kansas State in a double digit plus loss.

Number 10 Rutgers....down.

Number 13 Clemson... crushed by Georgia Tech

Number 21 Penn State....down.

Number 22 Alabama....down.

Ten teams in the Top 25 DOA Sunday morning.

I like to see this sort of thing on occasion.

Take Care,

Mike
