Week Eights results were less turbulent than last weeks, however, it did include a major upset as Ohio State\u00a0were routed by Purdue in their\u00a0Big 10 clash. Six of the AP top 25 were not playing and only Cincinnati lost to unranked opposition.\u00a0 The results panned out as follows:<\/p>\n
1 Alabama – won at Tennessee 58-21<\/strong><\/p>\n 2 Ohio State – lost at Purdue\u00a049-20<\/strong><\/p>\n 3 Clemson – beat No 16 North Carolina State 41-7<\/strong><\/p>\n 4 Notre Dame – didn’t\u00a0play<\/strong><\/p>\n 5 LSU – beat No 22 Miss State 19-3<\/strong><\/p>\n 6 Michigan – won at No 22 Michigan State 21-7<\/strong><\/p>\n 7 Texas – didn’t\u00a0play<\/strong><\/p>\n 8 Georgia – didn’t\u00a0play<\/strong><\/p>\n 9 Oklahoma – won 52-27 at TCU<\/strong><\/p>\n 10 UCF – won 37-10 at East Carolina<\/strong><\/p>\n 11 Florida – didn’t\u00a0play<\/strong><\/p>\n 12 Oregon – Lost at No 25 Washington State 34-20<\/strong><\/p>\n 13 West Virginia – didn’t\u00a0play<\/strong><\/p>\n 14 Kentucky – Beat Vanderbilt 14-7<\/strong><\/p>\n 15 Washington – Beat Colorado 27-13<\/strong><\/p>\n 16 NC State – Lost to Clemson<\/strong><\/p>\n 17 Texas A&M – didn’t\u00a0play<\/strong><\/p>\n 18 Penn State – won at Indiana 33-28<\/strong><\/p>\n 19 Iowa – beat Maryland 23-0<\/strong><\/p>\n 20 Cincinnati – lost at Temple 24-17 in OT<\/strong><\/p>\n 21 South Florida – beat UConn 38-30<\/strong><\/p>\n 22 Mississippi State – Lost to LSU<\/strong><\/p>\n 23 Wisconsin – Beat Illinois 49-20<\/strong><\/p>\n 24 Michigan State – Lost to Michigan<\/strong><\/p>\n 25 Washington State – Beat Oregon<\/strong><\/p>\n This means that the PAC-12’s slim playoff hopes now rest\u00a0with Washington\u00a0State, while UCF has\u00a020 consecutive wins, however, beating East Carolina won’t do too much for their standing and they have a long way to go to beat Oklahoma’s\u00a0record of 47. The Big 10 clash Michigan against Ohio State on 24th November also just got a whole lot more interesting.<\/p>\n Other games worth a mention include:<\/p>\n Boise State 56, Colorado State 28<\/strong> \u2013 Boise ran up a 35-0 lead in the 2nd Quarter and won ease despite having fewer yards of Offense and fewer 1st Downs. Winning the turnover battle 3-0 did help.<\/p>\n This weeks award goes to Missouri 65, Memphis 33 who managed to rack up 44 points between them in the 2nd Quarter. Over 1000 yards\u00a0of offense and 55 first downs kept the 52,917 crowd entertained as the game was only briefly close. This result sadly shows why UCF won’t\u00a0be figuring in the playoffs this season even if they win out given they struggled\u00a0big time against Memphis – who were then taken apart by a middling SEC team.<\/p>\n Old Dominion 37, Western Kentucky 34<\/strong>. Just for the sheer craziness, this was our game of the day. You couldn’t make the ending up as OD first tie things up with 9 seconds left then win the game with a field goal on an untimed down, following what can best be described as a “comedy of errors”, including a twice missed field goal by WK and a facemask penalty to keep the game alive and give OD the win.<\/p>\nRacking them up<\/h2>\n
Is it Basketball?<\/h2>\n
Game of the day<\/h2>\n
