Round 5 Preview
Here are some of the interesting match ups for Round 5:
West Conference: USC (3-1) at UCLA (3-1) - Winner is in sole possession of first place in Division 1 and on track to win the division. Stanford (3-1) at Oregon (4-0) - Andrew Luck and the Cardinal try to wrestle control of Division 2 from the Ducks. Northwest Conference: Missouri (4-0) at Iowa (3-1) - The Tigers try to maintain their perfect record when they travel to Iowa. North Conference: Cincinnati (4-0) at Louisville (2-2) - The Bearcats have the division lead, but they could have a tough time against the Cardinals and upstart QB Teddy Bridgewater. Northeast Conference: Penn State (4-0) at Temple (4-0) - The battle for Pennsylvania dominance in perhaps the first of elimination games in Division 2. East Conference: North Carolina (4-0) at Clemson (3-1) - Division favorite Clemson must knock off the Tar Heels and their surprising start. Southeast Conference: Vanderbilt (4-0) at Alabama (4-0) - The Commodores could prove they are big time by knocking off the Crimson Tide in a battle for first place in Division 2. South Central Conference: Houston (4-0) at LSU (4-0) - Case Keenum and the high-powered Cougars attack visit Baton Rouge and the overpowering LSU defense. The winner takes control of Division 1. Arkansas State (3-1) at Mississippi State (3-1) - Both teams trail Arkansas (4-0), but the winner appears to be on the inside track towards a 3rd or 4th seed in the NCAA 128 Tournament. Southwest Conference: Texas Tech (3-1) at Baylor (3-1) - A probable high-scoring game where the winner gets a boost towards a high seed in the NCAA 128 Tournament. SMU (3-1) at Oklahoma (4-0) - The Mustangs have a chance to get back in the division chase after their home loss at the hands of TCU.

Round 5 - West Conference
UNLV 18 at Arizona 44
Leading Passer: Nick Foles, Arizona, 31-50-329-5-2 Leading Rusher: Dionza Bradford, UNLV, 18-101 Leading Receiver: Juron Criner, Arizona, 8-85-1 USC 51 at UCLA 14 Leading Passer: Matt Barkley, USC, 29-36-317-1-0 Leading Rusher: Curtis McNeal, USC, 21-132-4 Leading Receiver: Robert Woods, USC, 10-124 Arizona State 24 at San Jose State 27 Leading Passer: Matt Faulkner, SJSU, 32-50-354-3-1 Leading Rusher: Cameron Marshall, ASU, 22-90-1 Leading Receiver: Noel Grigsby, SJSU, 9-94-1 Fresno State 19 at San Diego State 42 Leading Passer: Derek Carr, FSU, 30-44-312-1-0 Leading Rusher: Ronnie Hillman, SDSU, 28-129-1 and Adam Muema, 8-109-3 Leading Receiver: Jalen Saunders, FSU, 5-82 California 25 at Washington 48 Leading Passer: Zach Maynard, Cal, 27-45-344-1-3 Leading Rusher: Isi Sofele, Cal, 23-156-1 Leading Receiver: Keenan Allen, Cal, 9-125 Stanford 34 at Oregon 41 Leading Passer: Andrew Luck, Stanford, 18-28-339-2-1 Leading Rusher: LaMichael James, OU, 24-180-3 Leading Receiver: Ty Montgomery, Stanford, 3-96-1 Washington State 29 at Oregon State 36 Sean Mannion connected with James Rodgers from 15 yards out with just 21 seconds left to give the Beavers the home win. The Cougars fought back from a 28-12 deficit to start the fourth and took a 29-28 lead on an 8-yard Rickey Galvin run with 1:36 left. Oregon State then got possession and marched down the field for the game-winning score. Leading Passer: Sean Mannion, OSU, 25-42-330-4-0 Leading Rusher: Rickey Galvin, WSU, 15-54-2 Leading Receiver: James Rodgers, OSU, 6-119-2 Hawaii 10 at Nevada 13 Leading Passer: Bryant Moniz, Hawaii, 19-33-190-0-1 Leading Rusher: Lampford Mark, Nevada, 22-100-1 Leading Receiver: Royce Pollard, Hawaii, 6-77 West Conference Game of the Week: Oregon 41, Stanford 34 In a fight to the finish, the Ducks outlasted the Cardinal when Kenjon Barner ran on for his second touchdown of the game with just three seconds left. Stanford had battled back late in the fourth quarter, kicking a field goal with 4:37 left and then scoring on a 78-yard interception return with 1:35 left to tie the game at 34. LaMichael James and Barner each rushed for over 100 yards for Oregon. Stepfan Taylor led Stanford with 72 yards rushing and a TD. Stanford took a 14-7 lead in the first quarter on a three-yard touchdown pass from Andrew luck to Griff Whalen. However, Oregon scored 24 straight points to end the half with a 31-14 lead. James scored all three second quarter touchdowns from 23, 76, and 2 yards out to give the Ducks the big lead. The Cardinal answered by scoring ten in the third quarter to cut the Oregon lead to 31-24. West Conference Report: With USC's win at UCLA, they sit in the driver's seat for the Division 1 crown. The Trojans (4-1) host San Jose State (3-2) and Fresno State (2-3) to finish out the season, and should easily move on to play the winner of Division 2. Right now, the Ducks of Oregon (5-0) look to be the best of the division with their thrilling win over Stanford. Oregon State (4-1) is still in the hunt, though, and the civil war between the Ducks and Beavers could determined the Division 2 crown if both teams win next week. Speaking of the Oregon state civil war, the West Conference Player of the Week came down to two outstanding players from those conferences. LaMichael James was outstanding for Oregon in its win over Stanford, rushing for 180 yards and 3 TDs. However, Oregon State's Sean Mannion had the most outstanding day. He was 25 of 42 for 330 yards with four TDs, including the game-winner with 21 seconds left.

Round 5 - Northwest Conference
Utah 30 at Boise State 28 (Upset special)
Leading Passer: Kellen Moore, BSU 33-49-321-3-1 Leading Rusher: John White, Utah, 31-139-2 Leading Receiver: Kyle Efaw, BSU, 5-58 Utah State 17 at BYU 24 BYU needed a late touchdown on a 45-yard Michael Alisa run to dispose of the Aggies. Leading Passer: Adam Kennedy, USU, 16-29-259-1-0 Leading Rusher: Michael Alisa, BYU, 4-116-1 Leading Receiver: Stanley Morrison, USU, 4-113 Idaho 31 at Colorado State 36 Leading Passer: Pete Thomas, CSU, 20-36-231-3-3 Leading Rusher: Princeton McCarty, Idaho, 17-55 Leading Receiver: Lou Greenwood, CSU, 5-55 Air Force 48 at Colorado 13 The Falcons rushed 74 times for 356 yards to win at Colorado. Wes Cobb led Air Force with 92 yards rushing and a TD. Darius Jones and Cody Getz each added two rushing touchdowns apiece for Air Force. Leading Passer: Tyler Hansen, Colorado, 18-34-278-0-1 Leading Rusher: Rodney Stewart, Colorado, 16-106-1 Leading Receiver: Paul Richardson, Colorado, 3-95 Missouri 21 at Iowa 37 Leading Passer: James Vandenberg, Iowa, 20-33-309-4-1 Leading Rusher: Marcus Coker, Iowa, 36-252 Leading Receiver: Keenan Davis, Iowa, 4-125-2 Northwestern 28 at Wisconsin 42 Leading Passer: Dan Persa, Northwestern, 25-36-348-4-2 Leading Rusher: Montee Ball, Wisconsin, 31-187-2 Leading Receiver: Jeremy Ebert, Northwestern, 7-108-2 Iowa State 19 at Nebraska 20 The Cornhuskers trailed 19-7 late in the fourth quarter, but rallied for the win over the Cyclones. Taylor Martinez scored his first of two TDs on a 46-yard run with 4:25 left to cut the Iowa State lead to 19-14. Martinez then scored the game-winning touchdown with just 33 seconds left when he scampered in from 12 yards out. The two-point conversion attempt failed for the final 20-19 score. Leading Passer: Jared Barnett, ISU, 13-33-142-1-0 Leading Rusher: Rex Burkhead, Nebraska, 27-143-1 and James White, ISU, 17-152-1 Leading Receiver: Darius Reynolds, ISU, 3-44 Minnesota 16 at Wyoming 26 Leading Passer: Brett Smith, Wyoming, 17-31-237-1-0 Leading Rusher: Duane Bennett, Minnesota, 18-95 Leading Receiver: Dominic Rufran, Wyoming, 4-76 Northwest Conference Report: There maybe no bigger upset in the country this season than the one Utah pulled at Boise State. The Broncos (4-1) were expected to run away with the Division 1 crown, but they were defeated at home by the Utes (3-2). Despite the loss, Boise State still is in position to win the division championship, thanks to dismantling BYU (4-1) a couple of weeks ago. In Division 2, Wisconsin (5-0) got a little breathing room after Iowa (4-1) easily handled Missouri (4-1) at home. Iowa is still in contention for the Division 2 championship, but they will need Missouri to handle the Badgers next week to have a shot. The Hawkeyes fell to Wisconsin 31-21 two weeks ago. The Player of the Week award came down to two teammates this week. In racking up over 600 offensive yards this week, Iowa by far had the most impressive victory. Marcus Coker contributed to that offensive output by rushing for 252 yards. Had he put the ball in the endzone a couple of times, he would be in contention for player of the week. Instead, his quarterback, James Vandenberg, won this week's award. Vandenberg was 20 of 33 for 309 yards with 4 touchdowns and an interception.

Round 5 - North Conference
Toledo 33 at Ball State 27
Leading Passer: Terrance Owens, Toledo, 24-37-344-0-0 Leading Rusher: Adonis Thomas, Toledo, 28-142-3 Leading Receiver: Eric Page, Toledo, 12-176 Cincinnati 20 at Louisville 13 Leading Passer: Teddy Bridgewater, UL, 31-48-382-2-2 Leading Rusher: Isaiah Pead, UC, 17-83 Leading Receiver: Josh Chichester, UL, 4-69 Indiana 17 at Miami (OH) 31 Leading Passer: Zac Dysert, Miami (OH), 23-36-382-4-0 Leading Rusher: Stephen Houston, Indiana, 19-112 Leading Receiver: Nick Harwell, Miami (OH), 10-201-3 Ohio State 28 at Purdue 43 Leading Passer: Caleb TerBush, Purdue, 20-33-249-2-0 Leading Rusher: Ralph Bolden, Purdue, 20-125-1 Leading Receiver: Justin Siller, Purdue, 4-66 Notre Dame 7 at Western Michigan 34 (upset special) Leading Passer: Alex Carder, WMU, 22-32-287-3-1 Leading Rusher: Tevin Drake, WMU, 17-129-1 Leading Receiver: Jordan White, WMU, 11-152-1 Illinois 9 at Michigan 30 Leading Passer: Denard Robinson, Michigan, 6-12-98-1-0 Leading Rusher: Fitzgerald Toussaint, Michigan, 20-104-2 Leading Receiver: AJ Jenkins, Illinois, 3-34 Eastern Michigan 13 at Michigan State 41 Leading Passer: Kirk Cousins, MSU, 16-32-269-2-0 Leading Rusher: Le’Veon Bell, MSU, 16-89-1 Leading Receiver: BJ Cunningham, MSU, 5-123-1 Central Michigan 37 at Northern Illinois 34, OT NIU took a 34-24 lead with 14:26 left in the game when Chandler Harnish connected with Luke Eakes on a two-yard pass. However, the Huskies could not score again in falling at home to Central Michigan. The Chippewas got a 23-yard field goal from David Harman with 3:30 remaining. With just 7 seconds left in the game, Ryan Radcliff hit Jason Wilson on a 16-yard pass to tie the game at 34 and send it to overtime. In overtime, Harman kicked a 31-yarder to give Central Michigan a 37-34 lead. The Huskies were not as lucky, though, as Mathew Sims’ 41-yard attempt sailed wide right, giving the Chippewas their first victory. Leading Passer: Ryan Radcliff, CMU, 31-52-392-4-2 Leading Rusher: Jasmin Hopkins, NIU, 21-140-1 Leading Receiver: Cody Wilson, CMU, 6-78 North Conference Report: Cincinnati (5-0) has clinched at least a tie for the Division 1 championship, and the Bearcats get a chance to clinch the division with a win over Miami of Ohio (3-2) or Ohio State (3-2) in the last two weeks. In Division 2, Michigan State (5-0) continues to steam along for the division lead. Michigan (4-1) is the only team still in division contention, assuming no complicated tie breaker scenarios come into play. The Spartans and Wolverines meet in Round 7 in what should determine the championship. Notre Dame (3-2) fell in the North Conference upset of the week. Western Michigan (2-3) had been struggling so far this season, but the Broncos dominated the Fighting Irish throughout the game in a 34-7 win. The game of the week had to be the Chippewas of Central Michigan (1-4) getting their first victory, a 37-34 triumph over Northern Illinois (3-2) whose only previous loss had been in Round 1 to Michigan State. The Player of the Week award goes to Nick Harwell of Miami (OH). The talented receiver caught 10 passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns in the RedHawks' 31-17 win over Indiana (0-5).

Round 5 - Northeast Conference
Boston College 32 at Army 40
Leading Passer: Chase Rettig, BC, 19-36-217-4-1 Leading Rusher: Raymond Maples, Army, 20-219-1 Leading Receiver: Alex Amidon, BC, 4-60-1 Bowling Green 27 at Connecticut 20 Eugene Cooper scored on a four-yard pass from Matt Schilz with 7:23 left to make the difference in the Falcons’ road victory at Connecticut. Leading Passer: Johnny McEntee, Conn, 16-35-254-1-0 Leading Rusher: Jamel Martin, BGSU, 12-109 Leading Receiver: Kamar Jorden, BGSU, 6-90 Buffalo 47 at Massachusetts 50, 3 OT The Minutemen earned their first victory with an exciting game-winning touchdown in the third overtime. After Patrick Clarke kicked a 44-yard field goal to give the Bulls a 47-44 lead, Massachusetts answered to gain the win. Kellen Pagel connected with Tom Gilson on a seven-yard pass and the Minutemen were able to celebrate escaping at home. Leading Passer: Chazz Anderson, Buffalo, 27-44-332-3-1 Leading Rusher: Branden Oliver, Buffalo, 33-140-2 Leading Receiver: Julian Talley, Mass, 6-88 Syracuse 20 at Rutgers 41 Leading Passer: Chas Dodd, Rutgers, 24-40-350-4-0 Leading Rusher: Antwon Bailey, Syracuse, 24-112 Leading Receiver: Mohamed Sanu, Rutgers, 10-107-1 Pittsburgh 34 at Akron 14 Leading Passer: Tino Sunseri, Pitt, 25-33-258-2-1 Leading Rusher: Isaac Bennett, Pitt, 19-62-2 Leading Receiver: Marquelo Suel, Akron, 2-64-1 Penn State 19 at Temple 29 Anthony Fera connected on a 41-yard field goal to give the Nittany Lions a 19-17 lead in the fourth. Temple tied the game, though with 5:55 left on a safety. They scored twice more in the game, including the game-winning touchdown with 4:10 left when Matt Brown ran in from five yards out. Leading Passer: Matt McGloin, PSU, 16-38-277-0-1 Leading Rusher: Matt Brown, Temple, 15-121-3 and Bernard Pierce, Temple, 32-121 Leading Receiver: Devon Smith, PSU, 4-101 Kent State 9 at West Virginia 35 Leading Passer: Geno Smith, WVU, 26-40-330-2-1 Leading Rusher: Dustin Garrison, WVU, 16-118 Leading Receiver: Tavon Austin, WVU, 7-120-1 Ohio 26 at Maryland 13 Leading Passer: Tyler Tettleton, Ohio, 23-31-236-1-0 Leading Rusher: Davin Meggett, Maryland, 17-115 Leading Receiver: Quintin McCree, Maryland, 2-73 Northeast Conference Report: With its 29-19 victory over Penn State (4-1), the Temple Owls (5-0) made significant progress in gaining momentum towards winning the Division 2 crown. The Round 7 match up against West Virginia (5-0) could very well be for a top seed going into the tournament. In Division 1, Rutgers now sits alone in first place thanks to their win over Syracuse (2-3) and Boston College (3-2) losing 40-32 at Army (2-3). Division 1 is a jumbled mess, though, and a Rutgers loss in the last two weeks could take this division very deep into tie breaker scenarios where there could be a four-way logjam. The Player of the Week is Rutger's quarterback Chas Dodd. He was flawless in the the Scarlet Knights' victory, going 24 of 40 for 350 and four touchdowns.

Round 5 - Southwest Conference
Texas Tech 28 at Baylor 47
Leading Passer: Seth Doege, TTU, 28-47-355-3-2 Leading Rusher: Terrance Ganaway, Baylor, 27-141-1 Leading Receiver: Eric Ward, TTU, 8-136-1 Texas State 31 at New Mexico 34 Leading Passer: BR Holbrook, NMU, 20-30-236-3-0 Leading Rusher: Tim Hawkins, TSU, 29-183-1 Leading Receiver: Ty Kirk, NMU, 6-77-1 UTEP 37 at New Mexico State 41, OT Matt Christian connected on a 24-yard touchdown with Taveon Rodgers with 1:18 left to make the score 34-32 in favor of the Miners. Robert Clay then ran in the two-point try to tie the game and send it to overtime. In overtime, Dakota Warren kicked a 37-yard field goal to give UTEP the 37-34 lead. However, Kenny Turner ran the ball in from five yards out to give the Aggies the victory. Leading Passer: Nick Lamaison, UTEP, 26-46-352-2-3 Leading Rusher: Matt Christian, NMSU, 13-56 Leading Receiver: Taveon Rodgers, NMSU, 5-120-1 UTSA 0 at Texas 55 Leading Passer: Case McCoy, Texas, 19-29-252-4-0 Leading Rusher: Malcolm Brown, Texas, 27-92-2 Leading Receiver: Marquise Goodwin, Texas, 4-60 TCU 42 at Kansas 28 Leading Passer: Jordan Webb, Kansas, 17-28-277-3-0 Leading Rusher: James Sims, Kansas, 22-110-1 Leading Receiver: Kale Pick, Kansas, 5-101-1 SMU 20 at Oklahoma 40 Leading Passer: JJ McDermott, SMU, 20-44-292-1-0 Leading Rusher: Roy Finch, Oklahoma, 25-174-2 Leading Receiver: Kenny Stills, Oklahoma, 5-110-1 Kansas State 27 at Oklahoma State 55 Leading Passer: Brandon Weeden, OSU, 41-52-525-7-1 Leading Rusher: John Hubert, KSU, 18-159-2 Leading Receiver: Justin Blackmon, OSU, 11-132-4 Tulsa 24 at North Texas 10 Leading Passer: GJ Kinne, Tulsa, 18-32-191-2-1 Leading Rusher: Trey Watts, Tulsa, 20-105 Leading Receiver: Ivan Delgado, NTU, 3-66 Southwest Conference Report: Division 1 is shaping up to be anti-climactic to end the season. Texas (5-0) leads the division, trailed closely by Baylor (4-1). However, since the Longhorns were triumphant in the teams' Round 4 match up, Texas can clinch the division with a win next week at UTEP (3-2). Division 2 is not as clear and could come down to some important games to finish the season. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are both 5-0, trailed by TCU at 4-1. The Sooners have to meet both Oklahoma State and the Horned Frogs to close out the season, and that could help to shape the rest of the division. The week's Player of the Week is an easy one to pick. Brandon Weeden of Oklahoma State was 41 of 52 for 525 yards with 7 touchdowns and an interception in the Cowboys' 55-27 thrashing of Kansas State. Weeded connected with his top receiver, Justin Blackmon, for four touchdowns. Blackmon finished with 11 receptions for 132 yards.

Round 5 - South Central Conference
Houston 13 at LSU 37
The Cougars took a 13-10 lead midway through the second quarter, but after that it was all Tigers in the battle for first place. LSU scored the next 27 points in the game to cruise to an easy victory. Leading Passer: Case Keenum, Houston, 27-47-307-2-1 Leading Rusher: Michael Ford, LSU, 13-121-2 Leading Receiver: Patrick Edwards, Houston, 7-114-1 UL-Lafayette 27 at Rice 24 Brett Baer connected on a 24-yard field goal with no time left to give UL-Lafayette the road victory over Rice. The Ragin’ Cajuns tied the game with 3:40 left on an 11-yard Alonzo Harris run with 3:40 left. The game was a back and forth affair throughout with five lead changes. Leading Passer: Blaine Gautier, ULL, 17-28-284-1-0 Leading Rusher: Tyler Smith, Rice, 16-155-1 Leading Receiver: Harry Peoples, ULL, 5-125 Louisiana Tech 31 at Texas A&M 35 In another thrilling South Central Conference game, Cyrus Gray broke off for a 45-yard game-winning touchdown run with just 58 seconds left to lift the Aggies over Louisiana Tech. The Bulldogs had just taken the lead 30 seconds earlier when Lennon Creer scored from five yards out. Louisiana Tech trailed nearly the entire game before taking the late lead. Leading Passer: Ryan Tannehill, TAMU, 22-35-346-3-3 Leading Rusher: Cyrus Gray, TAMU, 24-144-2 Leading Receiver: Ryan Swope, TAMU, 4-103 Tulane 17 at UL-Monroe 21 Leading Passer: Ryan Griffin, Tulane, 20-40-375-2-2 Leading Rusher: Centarius Donald, ULM, 11-65-1 Leading Receiver: Matt Marfisi, Tulane, 3-141-1 Memphis 10 at Arkansas 47 Leading Passer: Tyler Wilson, Arkansas, 28-31-341-4-1 Leading Rusher: Dennis Johnson, Arkansas, 14-113 Leading Receiver: Jarius Wright, Arkansas, 5-66-1 South Alabama 14 at Ole Miss 33 Leading Passer: Randall Mackey, Miss, 20-26-295-1-0 Leading Rusher: Kndall Houston, USA, 20-92 Leading Receiver: Donte Moncrief, Miss, 3-74 Arkansas State 29 at Mississippi State 19 Brian Davis kicked five field goals to help the Red Wolves defeat Mississippi State in Starkville. Arkansas State did not need a lot of offense, totaling 238 yards in the game. It was the defense that made the difference, picking off Bulldogs’ QB Chris Relf four times and recovering two fumbles to make the difference. Leading Passer: Chris Relf, MSU, 21-35-299-0-4 Leading Rusher: Vick Ballard, MSU, 21-56-1 Leading Receiver: Arceto Clark, MSU, 5-99 UAB 0 at Southern Miss 40 Leading Passer: Austin Davis, USM, 20-29-292-4-0 Leading Rusher: Jamal Woodyard, USM, 18-82 Leading Receiver: Tracy Lampley, USM, 4-75-2 South Central Conference Report: LSU (5-0) made a huge statement in both the conference and national title pictures with its blowout win over the previously undefeated Houston Cougars (4-1). In what was billed a tough match up between defensive and offensive powerhouses, the Tigers stomped on the throats of the Cougars and made Case Keenum look mortal for the first time all season. LSU can clinch Division 1 next week with a win over traditional rival Tulane (0-5). In Division 2, Arkansas State (4-1) made its power play by winning at Mississippi State (3-2). The Red Wolves now trail only Arkansas (5-0), and those two teams meet in two weeks for what could be the Division 2 crown. With Keenum's struggles in Baton Rouge, it opened the door for a different South Central Conference Player of the Week for the first time this season. That honor goes to Texas A&M's Cyrus Gray. The running back rushed 24 times for 144 and two touchdowns, with both of his touchdowns coming in the fourth quarter. The final touchdown was a 45-yard game-winning run with 58 seconds left in the Aggies' 35-31 win over Louisiana Tech.

UCF 20 at Georgia 38
Leading Passer: Jeff Godfrey, UCF, 21-39-230-1-1 Leading Rusher: Isaiah Crowell, UGA, 26-148-1 Leading Receiver: Malcolm Mitchell, UGA, 4-77-1 FAU 17 at Florida 67 Leading Passer: John Brantley, UF, 26-36-347-3-2 Leading Rusher: Chris Rainey, UF, 23-129-2 Leading Receiver: Chris Rainey, UF, 6-87 Georgia State 10 at USF 27 Leading Passer: BJ Daniels, USF, 17-27-206-0-0 Leading Rusher: Darrell Scott, USF, 18-120-3 Leading Receiver: Darrell Scott, USF, 3-59 Georgia Tech 52 at Georgia Southern 13 Leading Passer: Jaybo Shaw, GSU, 15-36-215-1-4 Leading Rusher: Orwin Smith, GT, 13-242-4 Leading Receiver: Zach Walker, GSU, 4-67-1 Troy 23 at Kentucky 41 Leading Passer: Corey Robinson, Troy, 33-51-404-3-0 Leading Rusher: CoShik Williams, UK, 19-106-1 Leading Receiver: Eric Thomas, Troy, 5-90 Vanderbilt 21 at Alabama 62 Leading Passer: AJ McCarron, Alabama, 22-29-309-4-1 Leading Rusher: Trent Richardson, Alabama, 33-218-2 Leading Receiver: Trent Richardson, Alabama, 3-93-1 Western Kentucky 7 at Auburn 14 Leading Passer: Barrett Trotter, Auburn, 27-59-368-2-1 Leading Rusher: Bobby Rainey, WKU, 36-213 Leading Receiver: Philip Lutzenkirchen, Auburn, 5-95-1 Tennessee 48 at MTSU 14 Leading Passer: Tyler Bray, Tennessee, 26-38-302-5-1 Leading Rusher: Marlin Lane, Tennessee, 12-76-1 Leading Receiver: Da’Rick Rogers, Tennessee, 6-81-2 Southeast Conference Report: This round represented the week of the blowouts, with the only game within a score being Auburn's 14-7 win over Western Kentucky thanks to the Hilltoppers scoring with under a minute left in the game. Otherwise, every other game was at least a three-score difference. Alabama (5-0) took solo possession of first place in Division 2 with its 62-21 shellacking of previously undefeated Vanderbilt (4-1). Auburn and Tennessee both improved to 4-1 in the most lopsided division in all of college football. Four teams have at worst a 4-1 record, while the other four teams have at best a 1-4 record. Still, the bottom of the division could play spoilers in determining seeds for the conference. In Division 1, Florida (5-0) continued its stellar season with a 67-17 dismantling of Florida Atlantic (1-4). The Gators can clinch the division next week with a win at Central Florida (2-3). Both Georgia and Georgia Tech sit at 4-1, but the Gators took care of both of those teams earlier in the season. There were lots of outstanding performances in the conference this week, but Player of the Week honors must go to a player that simply takes over games. Alabama's Trent Richardson rushed 33 times for 218 yards and two touchdowns, and he caught three passes for 93 yards and a touchdown. Richardson should have a good shot at getting National Player of the Week for his performance.

Round 5 - East Conference
North Carolina State 40 at UNC-Charlotte 7
Leading Passer: Mike Glennon, NCSU, 22-38-373-3-0 Leading Rusher: James Washington, NCSU, 20-120 Leading Receiver: TJ Graham, NCSU, 4-118-1 Duke 7 at South Carolina 30 Leading Passer: Connor Shaw, S Car, 16-22-195-0-0 Leading Rusher: Brandon Wilds, S Car, 21-103-1 Leading Receiver: Conner Vernon, Duke, 4-73 East Carolina 16 at Wake Forest 45 Leading Passer: Tanner Price, WF, 19-24-322-2-0 Leading Rusher: Brandon Pendergrass, WF, 18-97-4 Leading Receiver: Chris Givens, WF, 5-114-1 FIU 45 at Virginia 38 In a game of back and forth streaks, Florida International broke the streak to gain the huge road victory. Virginia blasted its way to an early 17-7 lead in the game, but the Golden Panthers answered by scoring the next 31 points to take a 38-17 lead into the fourth quarter. The game was hardly over at that point, with the Cavaliers scoring 21 straight, capped off by Michael Rocco connecting with Tim Smith for a 17-yard touchdown with 8:52 left in the game. The Golden Panthers were not ready to fold, though, and Kedrick Rhodes scored the game-winning touchdown with 4:18 left when he ran around right end for 55 yards. After, Virginia was unable to continue its offensive success. Leading Passer: Michael Rocco, UVA, 26-37-335-3-4 Leading Rusher: Kedrick Rhodes, FIU, 21-214-3 Leading Receiver: Darius Jennings, UVA, 3-91-1 Navy 27 at Florida State 50 Leading Passer: EJ Manuel, FSU, 21-30-355-2-0 Leading Rusher: Alexander Teich, Navy, 19-130 Leading Receiver: Brandon Turner, Navy, 3-81-1 Virginia Tech 26 at Miami (FL) 17 Leading Passer: Jacory Harris, Miami, 21-32-274-1-2 Leading Rusher: David Wilson, VT, 26-236-1 Leading Receiver: Clive Walford, Miami, 4-84-1 Marshall 31 at Old Dominion 17 Leading Passer: Rakeem Cato, Marshall, 21-34-246-2-2 Leading Rusher: Tron Martinez, Marshall, 23-86 Leading Receiver: Aaron Dobson, Marshall, 4-70 Game of the Week: North Carolina 28 at Clemson 31 The Tigers fought off a North Carolina storm and Chandler Catanzaro kicked the game-winning field goal with 4:35 left to give Clemson the win. Clemson took a 21-7 early in the second half when Sammy Watkins ran in from 27 yards out. However, the Tar Heels answered with a 12-yard Ryan Houston run to make it 21-14. On the next offensive play for Clemson, Tajh Boyd’s pass was off the mark, giving UNC the ball at the Clemson 30. The Tar Heels wasted no time, scoring on a 30-yard Giovani Bernard run on the first play to tie the game. North Carolina then took its first lead since it was 7-0 in the first when Bryn Renner connected with Jheranie Boyd on a three-yard pass for a 28-21 lead. Clemson then scored the last ten points of the game for the win. Leading Passer: Bryn Renner, UNC, 24-45-273-2-3 Leading Rusher: Giovani Bernard, UNC, 26-108-1 and Andre Ellington, Clemson, 22-108 Leading Receiver: Dwight Jones, UNC, 8-121-1 East Conference Report: Both South Carolina and Virginia Tech improved to 5-0 to give them the inside track towards division championships. Clemson (4-1) also put itself in position to win Division 1 by defeating the previously undefeated North Carolina Tar Heels (4-1). If Clemson can win its next two games, including its Round 7 match up against South Carolina, the Tigers will be able to claim a division crown. In Division 2, the Hokies can wrap up the division title when they take on Old Dominion (0-5) thanks to beating Florida State (4-1) two weeks ago. This week's East Conference Player of the Week is Kedrick Rhodes of FIU. The back rushed 21 times for 214 yards and three touchdowns, including a 55-yard game-winning score at Virginia.

Yes, that's right. Then the last conference game is Division 1 winner vs Division 2 winner, Division 1 runner-up vs Division 2 runner-up, etc., to determine 1st-16th seed per conference.

Round 5 Wrap Up
With two rounds left to play, some divisions are all but wrapped up, while a few others remain a mess.
Only one division, the Southwest Conference Division 2, still has two undefeated teams in Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. A few divisions have no undefeated teams. Conference play has shown us a few surprises, though most of the top teams are winning as expected. The only real surprise in first place currently is Temple, which disposed of in-state rival Penn State, 29-19. One surprising team that could potentially win its division is Oregon State (4-1). If the Beavers take care of Stanford (3-2) and Oregon (5-0) in the next two weeks, they will represent Division 2 in the West Conference. There are some teams we thought might have more fight in them not playing as well as we thought they might. Among them, California (1-4), Nebraska (2-3), Miami of Florida (2-3), and Kansas State (1-4). Still, anything could happen in the tournament, and those teams could pull a couple of upsets, especially if they grab lower than an 8th seed. This week's National Player of the Week Award will be determined from the eight conference winners. They are: West: Sean Mannion, QB, OSU, 25-42-330-4-0 Northwest: James Vandenberg, QB, Iowa, 20-33-309-4-1 North: Nick Harwell, WR, Miami (OH), 10-201-3 Northeast: Chas Dodd, QB, Rutgers, 24-40-350-4-0 Southwest: Brandon Weeden, QB, OSU, 41-52-525-7-1 South Central: Cyrus Gray, RB, TAMU, 24-144-2 Southeast: Trent Richardson, Alabama, 33-218-2; 3-93-1 East: Kedrick Rhodes, FIU, 21-214-3 And the National Player of the Week Award goes to... Trent Richardson took over the game in Alabama's trouncing of Vanderbilt, 62-21. He totaled 311 yards (218 on the ground and 93 through the air) and scored three touchdowns. Despite Brandon Weeden's outstanding performance, Richardson's is a cut above the rest.

Round 6 Preview
Here are some of the interesting match ups for Round 6:
West Conference San Jose State (3-2) at USC (4-1) - A USC win gives them the division title due to tie breakers. Oregon State (4-1) at Stanford (3-2) - The Beavers are trying to claim a division title, but they'll have to get past the Cardinal first to stay in contention. Northwest Conference Air Force (3-2) at Boise State (4-1) - Air Force could launch the division in chaos with a win. The Broncos could entrench themselves in the top spot with a win. BYU (4-1) at Utah (3-2) - This in-state rivalry could make a huge impact on the division and seeding. Should the Utes triumph, coupled with an Air Force win, there would be a four-way tie for first place. Wisconsin (5-0) at Missouri (4-1) - The Tigers fell last week at Iowa, but they could still steal the division crown. First they have to get past the red-hot Badgers, who clinch the division with the win. North Conference Miami of Ohio (3-2) at Cincinnati (5-0) - The Bearcats can wrap up the division with a victory here. Michigan (4-1) at Notre Dame (3-2) - The Wolverines are trying to keep pace with Michigan State (5-0) to set up a division championship in Round 7. Northeast Conference Connecticut (3-2) at Boston College (3-2) - Should Rutgers (4-1) falter in the last two weeks, the winner of this game has a shot at winning the division. West Virginia (5-0) at Penn State (4-1) - Despite Penn State falling at Temple (5-0) last week, a win by the Nittany Lions could push this division into tie breakers. East Conference South Carolina (5-0) at North Carolina (4-1) - With Clemson (4-1) breathing down their necks, the Gamecocks have a chance to clinch the division with a win here and a NC State win over Clemson. North Carolina is looking to stay in division contention by beating a solid South Carolina team. Clemson (4-1) at North Carolina State (3-2) - The Tigers need to win this game to set up a potential division championship against South Carolina (5-0). Southeast Conference Georgia Tech (4-1) at Georgia (4-1) - Neither team is likely to win the division since both fell at the hands of Florida (5-0), but second place is on the line in this match up. Auburn (4-1) at Vanderbilt (4-1) - The Commodores seemed to have lost their chance for the division crown but could get back into contention with some help. The Tigers need the win to have a chance to defeat Alabama (5-0) in Round 7 and win the Division 2 crown. South Central Conference Southern Miss (3-2) at Arkansas State (4-1) - The Red Wolves have a chance to win the division, should they take this one over Southern Miss and defeat Arkansas (5-0) next week. Southwest Conference Texas (5-0) at UTEP (3-2) - The Longhorns can clinch the division with a win at UTEP. Oklahoma State (5-0) at SMU (3-2) - The Cowboys are in position to try to win the division. This game does not mean as much for them as next week's grudge match with Oklahoma (5-0), but Oklahoma State would like to guarantee itself as least second place in the division. Oklahoma (5-0) at TCU (4-1) - The Horned Frogs are still not out of division contention. A win over Oklahoma could potentially set up a three-way tie in the end.

Round 6 - West Conference
Fresno State 34 at Arizona 40
Leading Passer: Nick Foles, Arizona, 29-41-400-4-0 Leading Rusher: Robbie Rouse, FSU, 29-92-1 (6-104 receiving) Leading Receiver: Juron Criner, Arizona, 7-116 San Diego State 21 at Arizona State 31 SDSU took a 21-14 lead early in the third quarter on Ronnie Hillman’s three-yard run, but it was all Wildcats after that. Brock Osweiler connected on two TD passes, a 47-yarder to Gerell Robinson and a 7-yarder to Aaron Pflugrad, to help Arizona defeat the Aztecs. Leading Passer: Brock Osweiler, ASU, 20-34-319-3-0 Leading Rusher: Ronnie Hillman, SDSU, 27-157-2 Leading Receiver: Gerell Robinson, ASU, 5-114-2 San Jose State 31 at USC 73 USC clinched the West Conference Division 1 championship in its offensive onslaught. Leading Passer: Matt Barkley, USC, 31-44-372-6-1 Leading Rusher: Curtis McNeal, USC, 18-129-2 Leading Receiver: Robert Woods, USC, 11-125-3 UCLA 37 at UNLV 7 Leading Passer: Kevin Prince, UCLA, 14-24-260-1-2 Leading Rusher: Dionza Bradford, UNLV, 19-108 Leading Receiver: Shaquelle Evans, UCLA, 3-70 Hawaii 13 at Washington 31 Leading Passer: Bryant Moniz, Hawaii, 24-46-323-1-1 Leading Rusher: Chris Polk, Washington, 30-131-2 Leading Receiver: Royce Pollard, Hawaii, 6-135-1 Nevada 28 at Washington State 51 Leading Passer: Marshall Lobbestael, WSU, 26-41-441-6-0 Leading Rusher: Lampford Mark, Nevada, 24-147-2 Leading Receiver: Marquess Wilson, WSU, 5-125-1 Oregon 45 at California 26 Leading Passer: Zach Maynard, Cal, 19-29-303-2-0 Leading Rusher: LaMichael James, Oregon, 27-190-4 Leading Receiver: Keenan Allen, Cal, 7-75-1 Oregon State 35 at Stanford 42, OT Stanford jumped to a huge 21-0 lead in the first quarter and then had to hold on for the ride in defeating the Beavers in overtime. After the Cardinal (4-2) took its lead in the first, Oregon State (4-2) dominated the second and third quarters, scoring two touchdowns in each quarter to take a 28-21 lead. Stanford then answered with 14 straight of its own on two Stepfan Taylor touchdowns. The first was a five-yard pass from Andrew Luck and the second on a 45-yard run. Taylor finished with 182 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns. Luck finished the game 20 of 30 for 251 yards and two touchdowns. The Beavers were able to put the game in overtime when Sean Mannion connected with Brandon Cooks on a three-yard score with just 1:36 to play. In overtime, Oregon State had first possession, but had to attempt a field goal after going three and out. Trevor Romaine’s 44-yard attempt was wide left, giving the Cardinal a chance to win it. And Stanford did just that, scoring in five plays, capped off by Tyler Gaffney’s eight-yard run. Because Oregon State lost, Oregon (6-0) clinched the West Conference Division 2 championship by beating California, 45-26. Leading Passer: Sean Mannion, OSU, 32-47-385-4-2 Leading Rusher: Stepfan Taylor, Stanford, 25-154-2 Leading Receiver: Markus Wheaton, OSU, 7-117-1 West Conference Report: Round 6 marked the West Conference where its conference championship match is set. Both USC and Oregon clinched their divisions, meaning a match up for the two powers in two weeks for West supremacy. USC (5-1) scored 73 points against San Jose State (3-3) showing that the Trojans have the firepower to hang with Oregon’s high-powered offense. The Ducks (6-0) were not as impressive in their 45-26 win over California (1-5), but the rushing dual threat of LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner causes major trouble for every defense they face. On the opposite end of the scale, Hawaii and UNLV clinched eighth place finishes by falling to 0-6. Technically, the Warriors can finish in a tie with California for seventh place, but the Golden Bears beat Hawaii 22-14 in Round 2. The player of the week award was based on a showdown of several outstanding performances. USC’s Matt Barkley mowed down the Spartans, going 31 of 44 for 372 yards with 6 touchdowns and an interception. His main target was Robert Woods who caught 11 passes for 125 yards and 3 touchdowns. Arizona’s Nick Foles had yet another impressive week, finishing 29 of 41 for 400 yards and 4 touchdowns. Despite those solid performances, Marshall Lobbestael of Washington State won this week’s West Conference Player of the Week Award by finishing 26 of 41 for 441 yards with 6 touchdowns.

Round 6 - Northwest Conference
Air Force 13 at Boise State 54
Leading Passer: Kellen Moore, BS, 25-39-439-3-1 Leading Rusher: Doug Martin, BS, 26-162-1 Leading Receiver: Kyle Efaw, BS, 5-110-1 Colorado 16 at Idaho 44 Leading Passer: Brian Reader, Idaho, 22-35-340-3-1 Leading Rusher: Princeton McCarty, Idaho, 19-90-1 Leading Receiver: Michael LaGrone, Idaho, 3-77-2 Colorado State 20 at Utah State 35 Leading Passer: Adam Kennedy, USU, 23-30-301-2-0 Leading Rusher: Robert Turbin, USU, 28-139 Leading Receiver: Raymond Carter, CSU, 3-91-1 BYU 45 at Utah 48 This in-state battle turned into a real barn burner with Utah’s Coleman Petersen kicking a 33-yard game-winning field goal as time expired. BYU took a 38-24 lead early in the fourth quarter when Justin Sorensen kicked a 42-yard field goal. However, the Utes quickly answered. First Tauni Vakapuna ran it in from 49 yards, and that was followed by a 51-yard interception return by Reggie Topps to tie the game at 38 with 10:10 left. The Cougars then drove down field, topped off by a 13-yard JJ Di Luigi run to give BYU the lead with 7:07 left. Utah answered again, tying the game again with 2:51 left when Jon Hays connected with Dres Anderson from 20 yards out. Most of the game was a back and forth affair. After BYU scored the game’s opening touchdown on a 11-yard pass from Jake Heaps to McKay Jacobson. The Utes answered by scoring the next 21 points. The Cougars, however, tied the game going into the half on two Di Luigi touchdowns, the first on a five-yard run and the second on a two-yard pass. Leading Passer: Jake Heaps, BYU, 26-53-299-2-1 Leading Rusher: John White, Utah, 22-102-1 Leading Receiver: Dres Anderson, Utah, 4-96-1 Minnesota 7 at Iowa 30 Leading Passer: James Vandenberg, Iowa, 18-23-193-3-1 Leading Rusher: Marcus Coker, Iowa, 33-197 Leading Receiver: Marvin McNutt, Iowa, 6-98-1 Wyoming 17 at Iowa State 24 Leading Passer: Jared Barnett, ISU, 16-24-227-2-0 Leading Rusher: James White, ISU, 19-107-1 Leading Receiver: Dominic Rufran, Wyoming, 3-64 Nebraska 17 at Northwestern 13 Nebraska trailed 13-3 entering the fourth quarter, but made a comeback in the most unlikely way. With 5:18 left, Taylor Martinez connected with Kyler Reed from 26 yards out to cut the Wildcats lead to 13-10. On the ensuing possession, Nebraska held Northwestern to a three and out. Then, on the punt, the Nebraska defense collapsed in and blocked the punt. Austin Cassidy then scooped up the ball and ran it in from 14 yards out to give the Cornhuskers the 17-13 win. Leading Passer: Dan Persa, Northwestern, 25-36-322-0-2 Leading Rusher: Jacob Schmidt, Northwestern, 16-93-1 Leading Receiver: Rashad Lawrence, Northwestern, 4-90 Wisconsin 49 at Missouri 38 The Badgers (6-0) jumped out to a big first-half lead and cruised to the victory to clinch the Northwest Conference Division 2 championship. Montee Ball exploded for Wisconsin, rushing 28 times for 236 yards and 3 touchdowns. Russell Wilson only missed on three passes on the day in going 20 of 23 for 281 yards and 4 touchdowns. The Tigers (4-2) were led offensively by Kendial Lawrence. He rushed 12 times for 93 yards and a score. James Franklin was 11 of 20 for 174 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. Leading Passer: Russell Wilson, Wisconsin, 20-23-281-4-0 Leading Rusher: Montee Ball, Wisconsin, 28-236-3 Leading Receiver: Nick Toon, Wisconsin, 5-77 Northwest Conference Report: Wisconsin made its case for being one of the top teams in the nation with its win at Missouri. The Badgers (6-0) clinched Division 2 and have to wait a week to find out who its Northwest Conference Championship Game opponent will be. Meanwhile, Boise State made its case for its 5-1 record being about right by trampling a decent Air Force team. The Broncos have been one of the best "small schools" over the years, and there's no reason to doubt their ability to be a #1 seed when the NCAA 128 Tournament begins. Despite Wisconsin and Boise State's success, this conference is considered to be top heavy and could be rather weak once it gets into the third seed and below. BYU, Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska may be able to make a run, but all four teams have noticeable weaknesses that could crop up through a couple of rounds of the tournament. For now, those four teams, along with Utah are battling for third place in the conference. This week's Player of the Week award is a no-brainer. Montee Ball of Wisconsin ran all over Missouri with 236 yards on 28 carries and three touchdowns. Ball is almost a shoo-in for the conference player of the year.

Round 6 - North Conference
Ohio State 10 at Ball State 17
The Buckeyes have really fallen on hard times when they lose to a team like Ball State. Huge surprise in the North Conference! Leading Passer: Keith Wenning, BSU, 20-38-187-1-0 Leading Rusher: Dan Herron, OSU, 26-96-1 Leading Receiver: Briggs Orsbon, BSU, 5-59 Purdue 45 at Indiana 35 Leading Passer: Edward Wright-Baker, Indiana, 25-35-346-3-1 Leading Rusher: D’Angelo Roberts, Indiana, 9-118-1 Leading Receiver: Damarlo Belcher, Indiana, 5-82-2 Miami (OH) 18 at Cincinnati 12 The Bearcats could never get its offense going, scoring only on Tony Miliano field goals. The RedHawks got its touchdowns on two Zac Dysert to Nick Harwell connections. With the Cincinnati loss, the North Conference Division 1 championship is still in doubt. Leading Passer: Zac Dysert, Miami, 22-28-295-2-1 Leading Rusher: Erik Finklea, Miami, 19-68 Leading Receiver: Nick Harwell, Miami, 7-117-2 Louisville 21 at Toledo 38 Leading Passer: Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville, 24-43-327-2-2 Leading Rusher: Adonis Thomas, Toledo, 20-148-1 Leading Receiver: Eric Page, Toledo, 9-101-1 Central Michigan 25 at Western Michigan 33 Leading Passer: Ryan Radcliff, CMU, 29-54-381-2-3 Leading Rusher: Alex Carder, WMU, 18-57 Leading Receiver: Jordan White, WMU, 12-118-1 Northern Illinois 24 at Eastern Michigan 25 The Eagles trailed 24-13 entering the fourth quarter, but found a way to propel themselves past the Huskies. Kody Fulkerson kicked field goals of 30 and 37 yards to cut the Northern Illinois lead to 24-19 with 8:32 left. Then Alex Gillett connected with Alex Olds on an eight-yard strike with just 1:06 to play for the winning score. The completion was just the third of the game for Gillett, who finished 3 of 11 for 18 yards with a TD and interception. Leading Passer: Chandler Harnish, NIU, 13-25-197-1-0 Leading Rusher: Dominique Sherrer, EMU, 23-147 Leading Receiver: Luke Eakes, NIU, 2-81 Michigan State 44 at Illinois 10 Leading Passer: Kirk Cousins, MSU, 28-41-349-3-2 Leading Rusher: Edwin Baker, MSU, 21-86-2 Leading Receiver: BJ Cunningham, MSU, 6-117 Michigan 37 at Notre Dame 21 Leading Passer: Tommy Rees, ND, 17-35-244-1-0 Leading Rusher: Fitzgerald Toussaint, Michigan, 26-229-3* Leading Receiver: Michael Floyd, ND, 7-119-1 North Conference Report: Fitzgerald Toussaint of Michigan leads our story for Round 6 in the North Conference. The Wolverines back rushed for 229 yards on 26 carries and three touchdowns as Michigan was able to easily cruise past Notre Dame. The win clinched at least second place for Michigan (5-1), who will play Michigan State (6-0) next week for the Division 2 crown. It also gave Toussaint the Player of the Week Awards. Meanwhile, Notre Dame (3-3) is in a four-way tie for third place and will need a win over a decent Northern Illinois (3-3) team to avoid being a lower seed in the NCAA 128 Tournament. The biggest surprise of the week came in the state of Ohio. For one, Ohio State's (3-3) loss to Ball State (2-4) could mean a fifth place finish for the Buckeyes and a road trip in the NCAA 128 tournament. Also, Miami of Ohio (4-2) pulled off a big win in Division 1 to keep their division title pursuit alive. Cincinnati (5-1) thought they could cruise to the conference championship game, but now the Bearcats will need a win over Ohio State next week to claim the division championship.

Round 6 - Northeast Conference
Syracuse 47 at Army 20
Leading Passer: Ryan Nassib, Syracuse, 17-32-199-1-1 Leading Rusher: Antwon Bailey, Syracuse, 30-159-1 Leading Receiver: Alec Lemon, Syracuse, 5-93-1 Rutgers 27 at Buffalo 25 Leading Passer: Chas Dodd, Rutgers, 20-32-244-1-2 Leading Rusher: Branden Oliver, Buffalo, 34-146-1 Leading Receiver: Brandon Coleman, Rutgers, 4-78 Massachusetts 16 at Bowling Green 30 Leading Passer: Matt Schilz, BGSU, 16-26-205-1-1 Leading Rusher: Anthon Samuel, BGSU, 23-96-1 Leading Receiver: Kamar Jorden, BGSU, 5-100-1 Connecticut 15 at Boston College 45 Leading Passer: Chase Rettig, BC, 21-38-450-5-3 Leading Rusher: Lyle McCombs, UConn, 24-82 Leading Receiver: Chris Pantale, BC, 5-150-2 Ohio 37 at Akron 13 Leading Passer: Tyler Tettleton, Ohio, 18-29-274-2-1 Leading Rusher: Jawon Chisholm, Akron, 25-116-1 Leading Receiver: Ryan Boykin, Ohio, 2-65-1 Maryland 23 at Kent State 3 Leading Passer: Danny O’Brien, Maryland, 25-43-281-0-2 Leading Rusher: Davin Meggett, Maryland, 20-106-2 Leading Receiver: Chris Gilbert, KSU, 4-92 West Virginia 26 at Penn State 28 The Nittany Lions got a late touchdown from Matt McGloin to Devon Smith, and then held on to top the Mountaineers. With the win, Penn State (5-1) is still in contention for a division crown if Temple drops its last two games. West Virginia (5-1) will need to beat Temple next week by at least 10 points to have a chance to win the division. Leading Passer: Geno Smith, WVU, 28-45-354-2-1 Leading Rusher: Silas Redd, PSU, 22-73 Leading Receiver: Stedman Bailey, WVU, 7-122-1 Temple 14 at Pittsburgh 24 Pittsburgh won the turnover battle with a 4-1 margin, and outscored the Owls 17-7 in the second half to get the huge home win. With the loss, Temple (5-1) is now in a three-way tie for first place in Division 2 with Penn State and West Virginia. The Owls have the simplest path to a title, though. If they beat West Virginia next week, Temple wins the division due to beating both the Nittany Lions and Mountaineers. Leading Passer: Tino Sunseri, Pitt, 20-27-243-2-1 Leading Rusher: Bernard Pierce, Temple, 31-151-1 Leading Receiver: Mike Shanahan, Pitt, 3-88 Northeast Conference Report: Penn State (5-1) burst back into division contention with its win over West Virginia (5-1). The Nittany Lions will need help next week from West Virginia when it visits Temple (5-1), as well as beat Ohio (4-2). It looks like a long shot, but Penn State could be vying for a #1 seed in Joe Paterno's last season as coach. Meanwhile, Rutgers (5-1) led the entire game against Buffalo (2-4) but gave up a couple of late score to make their game appear closer. Next week the Scarlet Knights play Boston College (4-2) and could wrap up the division. However, if Boston College were to triumph, the division crown could come down to tie breakers. Bowling Green (4-2) is also in contention. For player of the week, we chose one player from a few unimpressive offensive performances throughout the conference. Boston College's Chris Pantale got the Player of the Week award by catching five passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles' 45-15 win over Connecticut.

Round 6 - East Conference
ECU 47 at UNC-Charlotte 13
Leading Passer: Dominique Davis, ECU, 27-41-352-5-1 Leading Rusher: That Guy, UNCC, 15-59 Leading Receiver: Lance Lewis, ECU, 9-129-4 Wake Forest 20 at Duke 24 Leading Passer: Sean Renfree, Duke, 29-43-309-3-0 Leading Rusher: Juwan Thompson, Duke, 15-50 Leading Receiver: Chris Givens, WF, 6-134 South Carolina 21 at North Carolina 24 Thomas Moore’s 19-yard field goal with 40 seconds left made the difference in the Tar Heels’ huge home win over South Carolina. Giovani Bernard was a force all day for North Carolina (5-1), who moved into a tie for first place with the victory. Bernard finished with 184 yards rushing and a touchdown, helping put North Carolina in scoring position against a solid Gamecocks (5-1) defense. With the loss, South Carolina is put into a must-win situation next week at Clemson, as well as needing a North Carolina loss to be able to win Division 1. Leading Passer: Connor Shaw, 18-26-256-1-1 Leading Rusher: Giovani Bernard, UNC, 23-184-1 Leading Receiver: Alshon Jeffery, 4-69-1 Clemson 36 at North Carolina State 21 Leading Passer: Tajh Boyd, Clemson, 21-28-335-1-0 Leading Rusher: Andre Ellington, Clemson, 24-106-2 Leading Receiver: Sammy Watkins, Clemson, 6-85-1 Marshall 16 at Virginia 23 The Thundering Herd took a 13-6 lead midway through the third quarter, but the Cavaliers came thundering back for the victory. Virginia scored two straight touchdowns, the second on a 14-yard Kevin Parks run to take the lead for good with 10:02 left in the game. Leading Passer: Michael Rocco, UVA, 18-32-360-1-1 Leading Rusher: Perry Jones, UVA, 18-87 Leading Receiver: Kris Burd, UVA, 5-113 Old Dominion 6 at Virginia Tech 44 Leading Passer: Taylor Heinicke, ODU, 29-56-331-0-3 Leading Rusher: David Wilson, VT, 26-320-4 Leading Receiver: Nick Mayers, ODU, 8-131 Miami 26 at Navy 20 Leading Passer: Jacory Harris, Miami, 23-40-289-1-1 Leading Rusher: Lamar Miller, Miami, 35-90 Leading Receiver: Brandon Turner, Navy, 3-78-1 Florida State 29 at Florida International 9 Leading Passer: Wesley Carroll, FIU, 22-37-279-0-0 Leading Rusher: Devonta Freeman, FSU, 27-225 Leading Receiver: TY Hilton, FIU, 5-73 East Conference Report: If you put out preseason reports and said that North Carolina would be in the mix for a #1 seed in the NCAA 128 Tournament, we would have called you crazy. After the Butch Davis debacle in Chapel Hill, we expected the Tarheels program to be in shambles. Yet, after a big win over South Carolina, North Carolina is in a three-way tie for first place at 5-1. Next week the Gamecocks face Clemson for what could be the division championship, unless, of course, both North Carolina and South Carolina win. In that case, the Tarheels win based on their 24-21 win over the Gamecocks. In Division 2, Virginia Tech wrapped up the division title by storming over Old Dominion, 44-6. David Wilson ran wild in the game, earning Player of the Week honors with his 320 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns. He should be a top contender for National Player of the Week based on his performance.

Round 6 - Southeast Conference
Georgia Tech 24 at Georgia 45
Leading Passer: Aaron Murray, UGA, 22-30-301-2-0 Leading Rusher: Isaiah Crowell, UGA, 27-137-4 Leading Receiver: Malcolm Mitchell, UGA, 4-63-1 Georgia Southern 17 at Georgia State 20 Leading Passer: Jaybo Shaw, QB, Georgia Southern, 21-39-301-2-2 Leading Rusher: Dominique Swope, RB, Georgia Southern, 16-123 Leading Receiver: Albert Wilson, WR, Georgia State, 5-76 South Florida 44 at Florida Atlantic 26 Leading Passer: Graham Wilbert, 21-37-382-2-1 Leading Rusher: Alfred Morris, FAU, 29-196-1 Leading Receiver: Marcus Cunningham, FAU, 3-96-1 Florida 37 at UCF 44, 2OT The Knights scored the last 14 points of regulation and then outlasted the Gators in overtime to upset first place Florida. John Brantley of the Gators (5-1) connected with Chris Rainey from nine yards out to give Florida a 34-20 lead with 6:48 to play. UCF could not answer until 1:07 remained and Brynn Harvey scored from seven yards out. The Knights then recovered the onside kick and drove down field, capped off by Jeff Godfrey’s fade pass from 10 yards out with no time left on the clock. Nick Cattoi’s PAT tied the game and sent it into overtime. In the first overtime, both teams kicked a field goal to tie the game 37-37. In the second overtime, UCF got the ball first and scored easily, thanks to Latavius Murray’s 14-yard run. The Gators then could not advance the ball in four plays, with Brantley’s 4th and 16 pass to the end zone getting broken up. Leading Passer: Jeff Godrey, UCF, 27-43-389-3-1 Leading Rusher: Chris Rainey, Florida, 23-125-1 Leading Receiver: Adam Nissley, UCF, 5-101-1 Tennessee 38 at Kentucky 10 Leading Passer: Tyler Bray, UT, 19-29-286-3-2 Leading Rusher: Tauren Poole, UT, 22-96 Leading Receiver: Da’Rick Rogers, UT, 5-117-1 MTSU 20 at Western Kentucky 28 Leading Passer: Logan Kilgore, MTSU, 18-36-196-1-1 Leading Rusher: Bobby Rainey, WKU, 43-116-1 Leading Receiver: Sancho McDonald, MTSU, 4-45 Auburn 23 at Vanderbilt 48 Vanderbilt (5-1) beat Auburn in convincing fashion and had put itself in position to clinch second place in Division 2 with a win next week over Tennessee (5-1). With the loss by Auburn (4-2), Alabama (6-0) has clinched the Division 1 championship. Leading Passer: Jordan Rodgers, Vanderbilt, 17-25-278-4-3 Leading Rusher: Zac Stacy, Vanderbilt, 24-160-1 Leading Receiver: Emory Blake, Auburn, 4-99 Alabama 76 at Troy 3 Leading Passer: AJ McCarron, Alabama, 29-43-330-3-1 Leading Rusher: Trent Richardson, Alabama, 31-244-5** Leading Receiver: Darius Hanks, Alabama, 5-79-1 Southeast Conference Report: Florida was going to clinch the Division 1 title going into Round 6. It was a given. The Gators were lights out all season and had already beat second place Georgia (5-1) earlier in the season. Florida was going to clinch until Central Florida (3-3) refused to say "Die," scoring 14 late points and then beating the Gators (5-1) in overtime. Now Florida needs a win next week to ensure a division crown. In Division 2, Alabama took care of business in easy fashion, winning 76-3 at Troy (1-5). The Crimson Tide's Trent Richardson, last week's National Player of the Week, had another outstanding performance, rushing 31 times for 244 yards and 5 touchdowns to earn Player of the Week yet again.

Round 6 - South Central Conference
Texas A&M 48 at UL-Lafayette 17
Leading Passer: Ryan Tannehill, TAMU, 31-37-400-4-0 Leading Rusher: Cyrus Gray, TAMU, 23-92-1 Leading Receiver: Ryan Swope, TAMU, 8-100-1 Rice 43 at Houston 65 Leading Passer: Case Keenum, Houston, 29-39-412-5-1 Leading Rusher: Tyler Smith, Rice, 16-150-3 Leading Receiver: Patrick Edwards, Houston, 6-124-1 Tulane 17 at LSU 79 Jordan Jefferson passed for 5 touchdowns and ran in two more in LSU’s thrashing of in-state rival Tulane. The Tigers (6-0) jumped out to a 34-0 lead in the first quarter and then just kept scoring in clinching the Division 1 title. Leading Passer: Jordan Jefferson, LSU, 17-23-295-5-0 (26 yards rushing, 2 TD) Leading Rusher: Michael Ford, LSU, 10-146-1 Leading Receiver: Xavier Rush, Tulane, 2-68 UL-Monroe 14 at Louisiana Tech 29 Leading Passer: Colby Cameron, LT, 21-34-256-3-0 Leading Rusher: Centarius Donald, ULM, 10-94 Leading Receiver: Quinton Patton, LT, 7-84-1 UAB 16 at Arkansas 51 Leading Passer: Tyler Wilson, Arkansas, 20-30-290-2-0 Leading Rusher: Dennis Johnson, Arkansas, 15-105-1 Leading Receiver: Joe Adams, Arkansas, 4-84-1 Southern Miss 13 at Arkansas State 16 Neither team exploded in a tough defensive battle. The Red Wolves (5-1) got the win on a late field goal by Brian Davis. Southern Miss (3-3) had a 6-0 lead in the first half before a six-yard run by Arkansas State’s Derek Lawson made it 7-6 at half time. After two Davis field goals in the third quarter, the Golden Eagles’ Tracy Lampley caught a three-yard touchdown pass from Austin Davis to tie the game at 13. Leading Passer: Austin Davis, USM, 22-41-281-1-3 Leading Rusher: Ryan Aplin, Arkansas State, 19-47 Leading Receiver: Kevin Bolden, USM, 6-80 Mississippi State 29 at South Alabama 3 Leading Passer: Chris Relf, MSU, 23-37-283-1-0 Leading Rusher: Vick Ballard, MSU, 23-93 Leading Receiver: Arceto Clark, MSU, 4-96-1 Ole Miss 27 at Memphis 20 Leading Passer: Randall Mackey, OM, 20-34-243-2-2 Leading Rusher: Billy Foster, Memphis, 10-74 Leading Receiver: Tannar Rehrer, Memphis, 7-59-1 South Central Report: LSU (6-0) had virtually wrapped up the Division 1 crown last week when it beat Houston, but the Tigers definitively claimed the title by beating up on in-state rival Tulane. The Tigers will have to wait a week to find out who they play in the conference championship game because one of the biggest surprises in the nation is in contention for the Division 2 championship. The Red Wolves (5-1) are proving to be a team to contend with after they outlasted Southern Miss (3-3). Should Arkansas State beat Arkansas (6-0) next week, the Red Wolves will face LSU. For this week's Player of the Week award, several players were in contention. Ryan Tannehill of Texas A&M finished 31 of 37 for 400 yards with 4 touchdowns. Houston's Case Keenum had yet another great offensive performance, finishing 29 of 39 for 412 yards with 5 touchdowns and an interception. However, this week the award goes to division-clinching quarterback Jordan Jefferson of LSU. He finished 17 of 23 for 295 yards and a career-high 5 touchdowns. He also had 26 yards rushing for 2 touchdowns, giving him seven scores in the game.

Round 6 - Southwest Conference
UTSA 10 at Baylor 44
Leading Passer: Robert Griffin, Baylor, 21-21-346-2-0 (perfect game!) Leading Rusher: Terrance Ganaway, Baylor, 28-78-2 Leading Receiver: Terrance Williams, Baylor, 5-125-1 Texas 41 at UTEP 34, OT The Longhorns had to take UTEP to overtime, but they were able to preserve their perfect record and clinch Division 1 outright. Texas led 24-20 at halftime and neither team scored in the third quarter before Texas was able to score 10 straight points. Malcolm Brown scored on an 18-yard run, and then Justin Tucker kicked a 41 yards field goal with 8:14 left to make it 34-20. The Miners (3-3) were not done, though. Nick Lamaison connected with Kevin Perry on a 12-yard pass with 3:24 left. With only 12 seconds left, the Miners tied the game when Lamaison hit Donavon Kemp on a three-yard pass. In overtime, the Longhorns had first possession and scored in four plays, capped off by Case McCoy’s four-yard pass to Jaxon Shipley in a little brothers’ connection. UTEP then had the ball, but thanks to a penalty and sack, had to attempt a 4th and 21 from the 24-yard line. Lamaison’s deep pass sailed out of the back of the end zone, and Texas escaped with the win. Leading Passer: Nick Lamaison, UTEP, 26-43-346-2-4 Leading Rusher: Malcolm Brown, Texas, 25-263-2 Leading Receiver: Eric Tomlinson, UTEP, 3-68 New Mexico State 19 at Texas State 16, OT Leading Passer: Matt Christian, NMSU, 14-28-219-3-1 Leading Rusher: Kenny Turner, NMSU, 19-92 Leading Receiver: Isaiah Battle, TSU, 4-79 New Mexico 11 at Texas Tech 44 Leading Passer: Seth Doege, TTU, 23-35-256-1-0 Leading Rusher: Aaron Crawford, TTU, 11-86-3 Leading Receiver: Alex Torres, TTU, 5-83-1 Tulsa 31 at Kansas 10 Leading Passer: Jordan Webb, Kansas, 13-27-219-0-1 Leading Rusher: Trey Watts, Tulsa, 19-186-1 and Ja’Terian Douglas, Tulsa, 13-185-2 Leading Receiver: JaCorey Shepherd, Kansas, 4-67 North Texas 20 at Kansas State 24 Leading Passer: Derek Thompson, NT, 21-42-285-2-2 Leading Rusher: Collin Klein, KSU, 33-110-3 (3-4-31 passing) Leading Receiver: Michael Outlaw, NT, 3-58-1 Oklahoma State 44 at SMU 33 Leading Passer: JJ McDermott, SMU, 26-51-398-3-2 Leading Rusher: Jared Williams, SMU, 22-89 Leading Receiver: Darius Johnson, SMU, 8-126 Game MVP: Brandon Weeden, OSU, 28-41-367-4-0 Oklahoma 28 at TCU 43 The Horned Frogs jumped out to a big lead and then kept pace with Oklahoma’s passing attack in the home win. TCU (5-1) now has an outside chance of winning Division 2. If the Sooners (5-1) can beat Oklahoma State (6-0) by under 16 points, TCU gets the division championship (assuming they beat winless North Texas next week). If the Cowboys beat Oklahoma, the Cowboys claim the championship. Oklahoma can only win the division by winning next week and having TCU upset by North Texas. Leading Passer: Casey Pachall, TCU, 16-26-250-3-0 Leading Rusher: Roy Finch, OU, 25-172-1 Leading Receiver: Skye Dawson, TCU, 3-70 Southwest Conference Report: It's hard to pick a Player of the Week from week-to-week in this conference because there are usually lots of points on the board in the games. This week is no exception, as we narrowed the list down to three. Texas' Malcolm Brown rushed 25 times for 263 yards and two touchdowns in the Longhorns' narrow escape at UTEP. Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden had another outstanding performance in the Cowboys' win at SMU. Weeden finished 28 of 41 for 367 yards with four touchdowns. And the best of the three was the guy who was perfect. Robert Griffin completed all 21 of his passes for 346 yards and two touchdowns in Baylor's 44-10 over Texas-San Antonio. Despite Griffin's efforts, Texas (6-0) clinched Division 1 with its overtime win. The Longhorns will have to wait to see what happens in Division 2. With TCU's win over Oklahoma, the Horned Frogs (5-1) could win the division should the Sooners (5-1) beat Oklahoma State (6-0) next week. Whatever the result, Division 2 has three strong teams at the top.

Round 6 Wrap Up
After six rounds, we have more divisions (9) still up for grabs than clinched (7). That bodes well for Round 7, which will still have teams vying for home field advantage throughout a regional bracket.
The seven teams that have wrapped up their divisions--USC, Oregon, Wisconsin, Virginia Tech, Alabama, LSU, and Texas--may choose to rest some of their starters in the next round to gear up for their conference championship games. We also find it intriguing that three undefeated teams still need one more win to win their divisions. Michigan State (6-0) faces Michigan (5-1) in the North Conference, Arkansas (6-0) faces Arkansas State in the South Central Conference and Oklahoma State (6-0) faces Oklahoma (5-1) in the Southwest Conference. TCU (5-1) still has a chance to win Division 2 should Oklahoma triumph by under 14 points due to tie breakers. A whopping eleven teams are still looking for their first win. Not many of those 11 are surprises other than probably Northwestern, which will get a chance to climb out of the cellar next week when it hosts Minnesota (1-5). Here are the conference-by-conference players of the week vying for National Player of the Week: West Conference: Marshall Lobbestael, QB, Washington State, 26-41-441-6-0 Northwest Conference: Montee Ball, RB, Wisconsin, 28-236-3 North Conference: Fitzgerald Toussaint, RB, Michigan, 26-229-3 Northeast Conference: Chris Pantale, WR, Boston College, 5-150-2 East Conference: David Wilson, RB, Virginia Tech, 26-320-4 Southeast Conference: Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama, 31-244-5 South Central Conference: Jordan Jefferson, QB, LSU, 17-23-295-5-0 passing; 5-26-2 rushing Southwest Conference: Robert Griffin, QB, Baylor, 21-21-346-2-0 And the National Player of the Week Award goes to.... David Wilson ran wild with 320 yards and 4 touchdowns in Virginia Tech's 44-6 win over Old Dominion.

Another week, another Kansas loss. Well, that's just how that's going to be unless you were using the 2007 Jayhawks

Round 7 - Notes
This is the last round of the "regular season" and the last chance for teams to make significant movement within their conferences for seeding purposes. In the end, though, only ONE team will come out on top.
Tie Breakers Because there are only seven games played in this round robin format, there will be a number of ties. I am using a short list of tie breakers. Hopefully this will cover every scenario, leading up to the last possible tie breaker, the coin flip tournament. Note, for ties among more than two teams (3+), each tie breaker resets after one team has been eliminated from the tie. I tested it out, and it worked, so I am assuming I made no mistakes and it is clear what I am doing when I explain each conference's results. Tie Breakers: Two clubs – 1. Head-to-head result (No other tie breakers needed because they will have to play each other). Three or more clubs – 1. Head-to-head result. Best record wins. 2. Best margin of victory. Best wins. 3. Worst margin of victory. Worst loses. 4. Most total margin of victory in all games. Best wins. 5. Most total points scored in all games. Best wins. Conference Pairings After the completion of the seventh round and all tie breakers are determined, teams will play a cross-divisional game within their conference to determine seeds 1-16 per conference. Division 1 winner vs Division 2 winner - will be played at a neutral site for the conference championship. All other games will be played at the home field of the team with the better record OR by result of a coin flip if both teams have the same record. (Lee's notes: If this skews results too heavily in the home teams' favor, I will change it to a neutral only scenario in future replays. I am thinking along the lines of realism, but... this isn't real. However, I thought it would be good to reward good teams in good divisions by giving them a better chance to get the higher seed, thus more home games in the end.)

Round 7 - West Conference
Arizona 28 at Arizona State 31
The Sun Devils needed a flurry of points in the fourth quarter to beat in-state rival Arizona. Trailing 21-10 entering the fourth quarter, Arizona State’s Brock Osweiler connected with Aaron Pflugrad on an 18-yard touchdown pass. The two-point conversion failed, giving the Wildcats (4-3) a 21-16 lead. Arizona then extended that lead to 28-16 when Willie Tuitama hit Nicholas Grigsby for an 8-yard score. Arizona State (4-3) found the answers, though, the rest of the way. Cameron Marshall scored on a one-yard run with 6:29 left to cap a nine-play drive. Then, with 2:01 left, Osweiler found Rashad Ross on a deep slant for a 41-yard strike. The two-point conversion gave the Sun Devils a 31-28 win. Leading Passer: Willie Tuitama, Arizona, 29-45-389-3-0 Leading Rusher: Cameron Marshall, ASU, 19-86-1 Leading Receiver: Mike Thomas, Arizona, 8-115-1 Fresno State 20 at USC 51 Leading Passer: Matt Barkley, USC, 17-22-272-1-0 Leading Rusher: Curtis McNeal, USC, 17-228-2 Leading Receiver: Robert Woods, USC, 6-104 San Diego State 34 at UNLV 17 Leading Passer: Ryan Lindley, SDSU, 27-52-285-2-1 Leading Rusher: Ronnie Hillman, SDSU, 27-171-2 Leading Receiver: Colin Lockett, SDSU, 5-72 San Jose State 32 at UCLA 40 Leading Passer: Matt Faulkner, SJSU, 27-44-364-2-0 Leading Rusher: Johnathan Franklin, UCLA, 21-76-1 Leading Receiver: Nelson Rosario, UCLA, 4-112-1 Washington 21 at Washington State 37 Leading Passer: Marshall Lobbestael, WSU, 26-41-356-3-2 Leading Rusher: Carl Winston, WSU, 15-132-1 Leading Receiver: Marquess Wilson, WSU, 7-100 Hawaii 20 at Stanford 24 In a game that may have seemed like an easy win for the Cardinal, it was anything but. Hawaii too a 20-13 lead into halftime, thanks to a 78-yard Scott Harding punt return with 14 seconds left in the half. Stanford (5-2) never got it going offensively, but pulled the score to 20-18 after three quarters thanks to a Jordan Williamson field goal and a safety when Kyle Olugbode sacked Hawaii’s Bryant Moniz in the end zone. The Cardinal took the lead and then finalized it at 24-20 with two more Williamson field goals in the fourth quarter. Leading Passer: Andrew Luck, Stanford, 16-31-252-1-1 Leading Rusher: Joey Iosefa, Hawaii, 13-102-1 Leading Receiver: Coby Fleener, Stanford, 5-103 Nevada 24 at California 19 Leading Passer: Zach Maynard, Cal, 19-34-229-0-0 Leading Rusher: Lampford Mark, Nevada, 25-137-1 Leading Receiver: Keenan Allen, Cal, 8-98 Oregon State 10 at Oregon 55 Leading Passer: Darron Thomas, Oregon, 13-24-228-3-0 Leading Rusher: LaMichael James, Oregon, 28-270-3 Leading Receiver: Markus Wheaton, OSU, 7-89 West Conference Report: USC and Oregon were only playing for pride since they wrapped up their divisions a week ago. Still, both teams showed their force in dominating wins. The Trojans (6-1) ran and passed all over Fresno State (2-5) to win 51-20. The Ducks (7-0) did the same to Oregon State (4-3), led by West Conference Player of the Week LaMichael James. James rushed 28 times for 270 yards and three touchdowns in the Ducks' 55-10 win over their in-state rival. A number of teams were tied at 4-3 in each division, so tie breakers were put into effect. In Division 1, Arizona, Arizona State and San Diego State finished 4-3. The Sun Devils beat both teams, so they finish in third place. The Wildcats then got fourth place by beating San Diego State, which is fifth, straight up. Division 2's tie breaker was a little more complicated since Oregon State, Washington and Washington State beat each other, ending in 1-1 results in head-to-head games. Based on the second tie breaker, the Cougars earned third place because they had the largest margin of victory (16) in the series thanks to their Round 7 win over Washington, 37-21. The Huskies beat Oregon State, giving them the fourth place seed, while the Beavers were relegated to the fifth seed.

Round 7 - Northwest Conference
Boise State 58 at Idaho 23
Leading Passer: Kellen Moore, BSU, 24-38-323-3-0 Leading Rusher: Doug Martin, BSU, 34-203-3 Leading Receiver: Mike Scott, Idaho, 5-103 Air Force 25 at Utah State 32 Utah State 21-0 lead after first quarter. Leading Passer: Tim Jefferson, AF, 15-27-182-1-0 Leading Rusher: Michael Smith, USU, 10-164-2 Leading Receiver: Joshua Freeman, AF, 5-60 Colorado 22 at Utah 37 Leading Passer: Tyler Hansen, Colorado, 27-47-414-3-0 Leading Rusher: John White, Utah, 26-220-3 Leading Receiver: Toney Clemons, Colorado, 5-115 Colorado State 38 at BYU 36, 3OT The Rams built a solid 16-3 halftime lead and then had to hold on to upset BYU on the road. The Cougars (4-3) scored the first 17 points of the second half to take a 20-16 lead with 7:11 left in the game. Colorado State (3-4) finally answered, though, thanks to Chris Nwoke’s 68-yard run to set up first and goal at the BYU three. On the next play, Pete Thomas passed the ball to Lou Greenwood for a three-yard scoring play. The extra point made it 23-20 in favor of the Rams. BYU then answered with a 12-play drive that stalled inside the Colorado State ten, forcing Justin Sorensen to kick the tying 26-yard field goal. In the first overtime, each team traded a touchdown, and neither team could score in the second overtime. First, the Rams’ Ben DeLine’s 35-yard field goal sailed wide right, and then Jake Heaps was picked off. The third overtime made the difference with the two-point conversion rule in play. First, BYU scored on a 14-yard pass from Heaps to JJ Di Luigi. However, Heaps’ two-point try fell incomplete, giving the Cougars a 36-30 lead in the third overtime. Colorado State then answered when Nwoke rushed for a 10-yard touchdown. Thomas then found a wide open Lee Clubb in the end zone for the two-point conversion and the 38-36 victory. Leading Passer: Jake Heaps, BYU, 30-57-314-2-1 Leading Rusher: Chris Nwoke, CSU, 20-128-3 Leading Receiver: JJ Di Luigi, BYU, 5-69-1 Iowa 27 at Iowa State 20, OT The Cyclones’ Zach Guyer hit a game-tying field goal with less than a minute left in regulation, but it was not enough as Iowa triumphed on the road. Marvin McNutt caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from James Vandenberg for the Hawkeyes (6-1) in over time. Iowa State (2-5) had a chance to tie the game, but could not. Leading Passer: James Vandenberg, Iowa, 19-29-243-1-3 Leading Rusher: Marcus Coker, Iowa, 35-196-2 Leading Receiver: Marvin McNutt, Iowa, 7-89-1 Minnesota 20 at Northwestern 40 Leading Passer: Dan Persa, Northwestern, 18-25-262-3-1 Leading Rusher: Duane Bennett, Minnesota, 19-90 Leading Receiver: Jeremy Ebert, Northwestern, 6-117-1 Wyoming 14 at Missouri 13 Missouri fell at home in its regular season finale, which may push Missouri’s seeding in the NCAA 128 Tournament a bit lower. The Tigers had a chance to clinch third place in Division 2, but Grant Ressel’s 38-yard field goal attempt with three seconds left was wide right. Now Missouri has to wait for conference tie breakers to see where they finish. Wyoming’s Brandon Miller scored from 24 yards out with 2:09 remaining in the game in the Cowboys’ (4-3) upset win at Missouri (4-3). The Tigers were unable to score again after James Franklin connected with Wes Kemp on a five-yard score with 4:47 left in the third quarter. Leading Passer: Brett Smith, Wyoming, 18-29-245-1-1 Leading Rusher: Kendial Lawrence, Missouri, 14-115 Leading Receiver: TJ Moe, Missouri, 4-63 Nebraska 7 at Wisconsin 16 Leading Passer: Russell Wilson, Wisconsin, 17-24-202-1-0 Leading Rusher: Montee Ball, Wisconsin, 28-93 Leading Receiver: Montee Ball, Wisconsin, 2-42-1 Northwest Conference Report: Boise State needed to win to earn the Division 1 title, and they cruised to an easy 58-23 win at Idaho. Doug Martin rushed 34 times for 203 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Broncos (6-1), who will now face Wisconsin in the conference championship. Martin's performance was not even the best of the week. That went to John White of Utah. The Northwest Conference Player of the Week finished with 26 rushes for 220 yards and three touchdowns in the Utes' 37-22 win over Colorado. For seeding in the conference championship round, a few ties had to be broken. In Division 1, BYU and Utah State both finished at 4-3, but the Cougars were awarded third place by virtue of their head-to-head win over the Aggies. Also, Air Force beat Colorado State for fifth place. In Division 2, Wyoming earned third place due to their win over Missouri. Also, Northwestern's win over Minnesota allowed the Wildcats to move into seventh place over the Golden Gophers. Conference Championship Round Schedule (Coin toss for teams with same record): 15th Place Game, 8:00 PM EST - Minnesota (1-6) at Colorado (1-6) 13th Place Game, 9:30 PM EST - Northwestern (1-6) at Idaho (2-5) 11th Place Game, 8:00 PM EST - Iowa State (2-5) at Colorado State (3-4) 9th Place Game, 3:30 PM EST - Air Force (3-4) at Nebraska (3-4) 7th Place Game, 3:30 PM EST - Utah State (4-3) at Missouri (4-3) 5th Place Game, 6:30 PM EST - BYU (4-3) at Wyoming (4-3) 3rd Place Game, 3:30 PM EST - Utah (5-2) at Iowa (6-1) Championship at Denver, 8:00 PM EST - Boise State (6-1) vs Wisconsin (7-0)

Ball State 17 at Indiana 34
Leading Passer: Edward Wright-Baker, Indiana, 19-33-231-3-0 Leading Rusher: Barrington Scott, BS, 14-109-1 Leading Receiver: Torieal Gibson, BS, 3-60 Ohio State 16 at Cincinnati 23 Cincinnati trailed 16-13 at halftime, but scored all ten points in the second half, including the game-winning touchdown with 44 seconds left. On the play, the Bearcats’ Munchie Legaux found Adrien Robinson on a 17-yard fade to clinch first place for Cincinnati (6-1) in Division 1. Leading Passer: Munchie Legaux, Cincinnati, 19-34-208-2-0 Leading Rusher: Dan Herron, OSU, 26-195-1 Leading Receiver: Kenbrell Thompkins, Cincinnati, 4-48 Purdue 31 at Toledo 52 Leading Passer: Terrance Owens, Toledo, 27-40-412-5-0 Leading Rusher: Adonis Thomas, Toledo, 23-129-1 Leading Receiver: Eric Page, Toledo, 10-174-1 Miami (OH) 21 at Louisville 24 Miami (Ohio) scored a late touchdown, but it was not enough in a game where the RedHawks trailed throughout. The loss dropped Miami (4-3) to third place while Louisville (3-4) was able to move up to fifth place in Division 1 with the win. Leading Passer: Zac Dysert, Miami, 21-37-262-2-1 Leading Rusher: Zac Dysert, Miami, 17-52 Leading Receiver: Nick Harwell, Miami, 10-159-2 Western Michigan 24 at Eastern Michigan 31 Leading Passer: Alex Carder, WMU, 21-28-289-3-1 Leading Rusher: Dominque White, EMU, 17-163-2 Leading Receiver: Jordan White, WMU, 10-128 Central Michigan 17 at Illinois 6 Leading Passer: Nathan Scheelhaase, Illinois, 15-23-218-0-2 Leading Rusher: Anthony Garland, CMU, 14-100-1 Leading Receiver: Darius Millines, Illinois, 5-81 Northern Illinois 31 at Notre Dame 35 Cierre Wood ran in from five yards out with just 40 seconds remaining to allow Notre Dame (4-3) to escape Northern Illinois (3-4) and clinch third place in Division 2. The Huskies, the fifth place team in the division, had scored 31 straight points after falling behind 28-0 in the second quarter. Mathew Sims’ 57-yard field goal with 2:21 remaining gave NIU its first lead, but it was not enough to pull off the road victory. Leading Passer: Tommy Rees, ND, 31-46-412-3-1 Leading Rusher: Jasmin Hopkins, NIU, 19-114-2 Leading Receiver: Michael Floyd, ND, 9-94 GAME OF THE WEEK: Michigan State 38 at Michigan 31 Michigan ran out to a 17-0 lead and an early 24-7 lead in the second half but could not survive a Michigan State onslaught in the Division 2 championship. The Spartans (7-0) took their first lead of the game with 10:28 left when Kirk Cousins hit Keshawn Martin for a 20-yard scoring strike. Michigan State scored again with 4:40 left to take a 14-point lead before Michigan’s (5-2) Michael Shaw scored a late touchdown for the final score. With the win, Michigan State clinched the Division 2 title and will face Cincinnati for the North Conference championship. The Wolverines are second place in the division. Despite the loss, Shaw earned game MVP honors. He rushed 8 times for 75 yards and 2 touchdowns, and he scored on a 78-yard screen play in the first quarter that gave Michigan its 17-0 lead at that time. Cousins took a while to warm up for the Spartans, but once he got hot, Michigan State started to dominate on the offensive side of the ball. Cousins threw three second-half touchdowns, including the go-ahead and game-clinching touchdowns for Michigan State. Leading Passer: Kirk Cousins, MSU, 27-39-306-3-0 Leading Rusher: Le’Veon Ball, MSU, 14-94 Leading Receiver: Junior Hemingway, Michigan, 3-81 Game MVP: Michael Shaw, Michigan, 8-75-2 rushing, 1-78-1 receiving North Conference Report: Neither division was settled until the final round. Michigan State stayed undefeated at 7-0 by pulling off a huge win at Michigan (5-2). Cincinnati also guaranteed its division championship by holding on against Ohio State (3-4). This week featured a few solid offensive performances. The Spartans' Kirk Cousins had a dominating day, finishing 27 of 39 for 306 yards and three touchdowns. Tommy Rees of Notre Dame was money in the Irish's 35-31 win over Northern Illinois. Rees was 31 of 46 for 412 yards with three touchdowns and an interception. However, the player of the week award goes to Terrance Owens of Toledo who dominated Purdue by going 27 of 40 for 412 yards and five touchdowns. The North Conference only had pairs of ties, making the tie breaker scenarios quite easy, Miami of Ohio and Purdue each finished at 4-3, but the RedHawks beat Purdue to earn third place. Louisville was the better of the 3-4 teams than Ohio State to gain fifth place in Division 1. In Division 2, Notre Dame got third place over Eastern Michigan and Nothern Illinois was fifth place over Western Michigan. Tie breakers: Miami of Ohio is 3rd thanks to head-to-head win over Purdue Louisville is 5th thanks to head-to-head win over Ohio State Notre Dame is 3rd thanks to head-to-head win over EMU Northern Illinois is 5th thanks to head-to-head win over WMU Conference Championship Round Schedule (Coin toss for teams with same record): 15th Place Game, 2:00 PM EST - Illinois (0-7) at Indiana (1-6) 13th Place Game, 3:30 PM EST - Central Michigan (2-5) at Ball State (2-5) 11th Place Game, 2:00 PM EST - Western Michigan (3-4) at Ohio State (3-4) 9th Place Game, 5:00 PM EST - Northern Illinois (3-4) at Louisville (3-4) 7th Place Game, 12:30 PM EST - Purdue (4-3) at Eastern Michigan (4-3) 5th Place Game, 5:00 PM EST - Miami of Ohio (4-3) at Notre Dame (4-3) 3rd Place Game, 12:30 PM EST - Toledo (5-2) at Michigan (5-2) Championship at Chicago, 2:00 PM EST - Cincinnati (6-1) at Michigan State (7-0)

Round 7 - Northeast Conference
Army 33 at Buffalo 26
Leading Passer: Chazz Anderson, Buffalo, 17-31-239-0-0 Leading Rusher: Raymond Maples, Army, 21-129-2 Leading Receiver: Alex Neutz, Buffalo, 4-64 Syracuse 35 at Bowling Green 24 Leading Passer: Ryan Nassib, Syracuse, 20-33-291-3-0 Leading Rusher: Antwon Bailey, Syracuse, 27-165-1 Leading Receiver: Dorian Graham, Syracuse, 4-83-1 Rutgers 10 at Boston College 30 In the biggest surprise among all national divisions, Boston College clinched the Northeast Conference Division 1 championship by blowing out Rutgers. The Eagles (5-2) needed help with a Bowling Green loss and by defeating Rutgers (5-2), and they got just that. It also means that Boston College will be considered the worst 1 or 2 seed in the NCAA 128 tournament. The game was close for most of the second half. Boston College finally took control for good with just 36 seconds left in the first half when Andre Williams rushed for a 19-yard touchdown. Chase Rettig then threw a 12-yard scoring strike to Alex Amidon and the Scarlet Knights could never find an answer to come back. Rettig finished the game 16 of 31 for 188 yards with three touchdowns and an interception. Leading Passer: Chas Dodd, Rutgers, 21-40-314-1-4 Leading Rusher: Andre Williams, BC, 17-153-1 Leading Receiver: Mohamed Sanu, Rutgers, 12-191-1 Massachusetts 24 at Connecticut 28 Leading Passer: Johnny McEntee, UConn, 21-40-323-4-0 Leading Rusher: RB1, UMass, 16-113-1 Leading Receiver: Lyle McCombs, UConn, 4-80-2 Akron 3 at Kent State 26 Leading Passer: Clayton Moore, Akron, 16-40-195-0-3 Leading Rusher: Trayion Durham, Kent, 23-165-2 Leading Receiver: Keith Sconiers, Akron, 4-53 Ohio 29 at Penn State 41 Penn State fell behind in their hopes for winning the Division 2 championship, but all they needed was a little Silas Redd action to help them cruise against a tough Ohio (4-3) team. The Nittany Lions (6-1) fell behind 13-7 late in the first half, thanks in part to a 59-yard touchdown run by Ohio’s Donte Harden. However, Penn State was able to drive down the field and kick a short field goal to make it 13-10 in favor of the Bobcats at halftime. To start the second half, Penn State turned to Redd. Matt McGloin threw a dump off pass to Redd on the first play of the second half, and Redd took it to the house for 80 yards. After the Bobcats retook the lead at 20-17 on a 68-yard Tyler Tettleton to Jordan Thompson hook up, Redd scored again from five yards out to give Penn State the lead for good, 24-20. Leading Passer: Matt McGloin, PSU, 20-38-389-3-2 Leading Rusher: Silas Redd, PSU, 24-138-1 Leading Receiver: Silas Redd, PSU, 2-93-1 Maryland 13 at Pittsburgh 16 Leading Passer: Tino Sunseri, Pitt, 17-29-215-0-0 Leading Rusher: Davin Meggett, Maryland, 19-91 Leading Receiver: Hubie Graham, Pitt, 4-67 GAME OF THE WEEK: West Virginia 24 at Temple 16 Temple’s chance at a Division 2 championship was foiled by the Geno Smith to Tavon Austin fourth-quarter connection. Trailing 13-10 in the fourth, Smith hit Austin on a 5-yard pass to give the Mountaineers (6-1) a 17-13 lead. After the Owls (5-2) kicked a field goal, Smith and Austin connected again from 8 yards out to lead to the 24-16 final. Temple rushed for 241 yards in the loss, but the Owls could not find the end zone after scoring on their opening drive. Bernard Pierce finished with 97 yards on 24 carries and Matt Brown added 96 yards on 13 carries. Had Temple won the game, they would have claimed the Division 1 champioship due to a win over Penn State in Round 5. Since Penn State (6-1) won, West Virginia was eliminated from division championship contention due to their Round 6 loss to Penn State. Leading Passer: Geno Smith, WVU, 26-39-291-3-0 Leading Rusher: Bernard Pierce, Temple, 24-97 Leading Receiver: Tavon Austin, WVU, 9-83-2 Northeast Conference Report: The divisions came down to very simple needs by teams. Kind of. Some teams simply needed a win or just a little help. Rutgers and Temple each had the easiest path to division crowns. All they had to do was win. Yet neither team could find it within themselves to do that. As a result, both teams dropped from one of them being a #1 seed in the country to neither of them winning their divisions. With Boston College's win over Rutgers, along with Bowling Green losing to Syracuse, the Eagles are the biggest division winner surprise in the nation, winning the division thanks to their head-to-head win over Rutgers. In Division 2, West Virginia eliminated Temple for division title contention, but Penn State claimed the division thanks to beating the Mountaineers earlier in the season. Division 1 was jumbled throughout in the end. Two teams finished at 5-2 and another three teams finished 4-3. Bowling Green, Connecticut and Syracuse were the latter three teams. The Orange were able to win third place because they had the greatest margin of victory (11 points) in the series. Bowling Green then took fourth place over the Huskies thanks to winning the head-to-head match up. In Division 2, the only other tie besides first place was for sixth place. There Maryland beat Kent State in their head-to-head match up, giving the Terrapins sixth place in the division. The Northeast Conference Player of the Week Award goes to Silas Redd of Penn State.

I prefer these conference title locations. I've always thought the bowl system biased towards the SEC with so many bowls in their territory. It's kindof the "Super Bowl not in a dome" theory where it would be a bit different for Alabama to play up in the snow some year when, say, Ohio State was good rather than it always being down south.

However, their efforts were foiled when Jimmy Newman missed the extra point attempt. The Wolfpack (4-3) answered by scoring on a 19-yard Glennon to TJ Graham pass. The extra point clinched fourth place in Division 2 for North Carolina State. Wake Forest (2-5) is sixth in the division.

North Carolina (6-1) won the division due to a head-to-head win over the Gamecocks (6-1). Most of South Carolina’s offense came from the running of Brandon Wilds.

Both North Carolina and South Carolina finished 6-1, but the Tar Heels beat the Gamecocks in their head-to-head match up. In Division 2, Virginia Tech completed its undefeated regular season by topping Virginia. The Hokies will now face North Carolina in the East Conference Championship.

Georgia 40 at Georgia State 19
Leading Passer: Aaron Murray, UGA, 16-31-283-1-4 Leading Rusher: Donald Russell, GSU, 22-202-1 Leading Receiver: Malcolm Mitchell, UGA, 3-80 Georgia Tech 40 at Florida Atlantic 3 Leading Passer: Graham Wilbert, FAU, 15-37-161-0-2 Leading Rusher: Orwin Smith, GT, 15-101 Leading Receiver: Darian Williams, FAU, 4-47 Georgia Southern 32 at Central Florida 10 Leading Passer: Jaybo Shaw, GSU, 24-39-361-2-1 Leading Rusher: Dominique Swope, GSU, 24-115 Leading Receiver: Kentrellis Showers, GSU, 5-114-2 South Florida 9 at Florida 41 Leading Passer: BJ Daniels, USF, 19-33-218-0-2 Leading Rusher: Jeff Demps, Florida, 12-144-1 Leading Receiver: Chris Rainey, Florida, 3-55 Game MVP: Chris Rainey, Florida, 19-130-2 rushing; 3-55 receiving Kentucky 10 at Western Kentucky 7 Leading Passer: Morgan Newton, UK, 13-29-167-1-0 Leading Rusher: Bobby Rainey, WKU, 42-135-1 Leading Receiver: Matt Roark, UK, 3-89-1 Tennessee 40 at Vanderbilt 10 Leading Passer: Tyler Bray, UT, 24-37-343-3-0 Leading Rusher: Tauren Poole, UT, 22-75-1 Leading Receiver: Da’Rick Rogers, UT, 6-105-2 MTSU 14 at Troy 32 Leading Passer: Corey Robinson, Troy, 21-36-349-2-0 Leading Rusher: Shawn Southward, Troy, 15-68-2 Leading Receiver: Eric Thomas, Troy, 5-110-1 Auburn 3 at Alabama 57 Leading Passer: Phillip Sims, Alabama, 23-35-287-2-0 Leading Rusher: Trent Richardson, Alabama, 36-128-4 Leading Receiver: Brad Smelley, Alabama, 4-73 Southeast Conference Report: The Southeast Conference had the most anti-climactic finish of any of the eight conferences. Alabama had already claimed the Division 2 title, but they still found a way to throttle in-state rival Auburn, 57-3. Florida was not guaranteed the Division 1 title, needing to beat South Florida in the final game to ensure they would win it. The Gators did just that, easily putting away the Bulls, 41-9. The Gators win Division 1 due to defeating Georgia, which also finished 6-1, earlier in the season. Florida's prize is now to try to stop the seemingly unstoppable Crimson Tide (7-0). This week's Player of the Week Award goes to Tennessee's Tyler Bray. The Volunteers quarterback completed 24 of 37 passes for 343 yards and three touchdowns in a 40-10 win at Vanderbilt and second place in Division 2. For tie breakers, Florida Atlantic won out over Georgia State for seventh place in Division 1 because of a head-to-head win. In Division 2, Kentucky bested Troy for fifth place because of a head-to-head win. Also, WKU was awarded seventh place over MTSU because of a head-to-head win. Conference Championship Round Schedule (Coin toss for teams with same record): 15th Place Game, 6:30 PM EST - MTSU (1-6) at Georgia State (1-6) 13th Place Game, 12:30 PM EST - Florida Atlantic (1-6) at Western Kentucky (1-6) 11th Place Game, 11:00 AM EST - Georgia Southern (2-5) at Troy (2-5) 9th Place Game, 3:30 PM EST - Kentucky (2-5) at Central Florida (3-4) 7th Place Game, 11:00 AM EST - South Florida (4-3) at Auburn (4-3) 5th Place Game, 2:00 PM EST - Vanderbilt (5-2) at Georgia Tech (5-2) 3rd Place Game, 12:30 PM EST - Tennessee (6-1) at Georgia (6-1) Championship at Atlanta, 3:30 PM EST - Florida (6-1) at Alabama (7-0)

Round 7 - South Central Conference
LSU 41 at Louisiana Tech 27
Leading Passer: Colby Cameron, LTU, 22-34-279-2-1 Leading Rusher: Michael Ford, LSU, 12-162-1 Leading Receiver: David Gru, LTU, 4-76-1 Tulane 10 at UL-Lafayette 31 Leading Passer: Blaine Gautier, ULL, 23-35-258-1-2 Leading Rusher: Alonzo Harris, ULL, 22-80-2 Leading Receiver: Harry Peoples, ULL, 6-64 UL-Monroe 14 at Houston 45 Leading Passer: Case Keenum, Houston, 24-36-436-3-0 Leading Rusher: Centarius Donald, ULM, 13-169-1 Leading Receiver: Patrick Edwards, Houston, 6-158-1 Texas A&M 37 at Rice 6 Leading Passer: Ryan Tannehill, TAMU, 20-29-296-2-1 Leading Rusher: Cyrus Gray, TAMU, 26-97-2 Leading Receiver: Ryan Swope, TAMU, 6-82 GAME OF THE WEEK: Arkansas 33 at Arkansas State 16 Arkansas ran out to an early lead, scoring on a 11-yard Dennis Johnson run on its first drive and building a big lead to cruise in winning the Division 2 championship. The Razorbacks (7-0) took a 24-6 lead late in the first half when Tyler Wilson hit Austin Tate on an underneath pass for a two-yard score. The Red Wolves (5-2) answered quickly, though, on a 67-yard pass from Ryan Aplin to Derek Lawson to make it 24-13 in favor of Arkansas at the half. That would be as close as Arkansas State could get as neither team could find the end zone in the second half. Arkansas outscored the Red Wolves 9-3 on three Zach Hocker field goals. With the win, Arkansas will face LSU in the South Central Conference championship game. Leading Passer: Ryan Aplin, 20-30-300-1-2 Leading Rusher: Dennis Johnson, Arkansas, 15-106-1 Leading Receiver: Dwayne Frampton, ASU, 8-87 Game MVP: Tyler Wilson, Arkansas, 23-33-268-2-1 UAB 21 at South Alabama 22 South Alabama took a 9-0 lead in the first half and then had to come back to beat UAB and avoid last place in Division 2. The Jaguars (2-5) fell behind 21-9 after three quarters thanks to a hot quarter by the Blazers (1-6). Jonathan Perry connected with Jackie Williams on a 32-yard pass for UAB’s first points of the game. After an interception, UAB scored again on a 13-yard Darrin Reaves run. The Blazers added one more score on a three-yard Greg Franklin rush. South Alabama then began its come back in the fourth quarter. Jordan Means started the scoring with a 41-yard field goal to cut the UAB lead to 21-12. With 9:36 left, CJ Bennett hit a wide open Brynt Lavender for a 27-yard score. With only 1:37 left, Means kicked his fifth field goal of the game, this one a game-winner from 26 yards out. Leading Passer: Jonathan Perry, UAB, 17-39-229-1-0 Leading Rusher: Demetre Baker, USA, 18-114 Leading Receiver: Jackie Williams, UAB, 5-70-1 Game MVP: Jordan Means, USA, 5-5 FG, GW FG Southern Miss 33 at Memphis 7 Leading Passer: Taylor Reed, Memphis, 11-32-196-1-1 Leading Rusher: Artaves Gibson, Memphis, 11-57 Leading Receiver: Tannar Rehrer, Memphis, 4-88 Mississippi State 52 at Ole Miss 30 Leading Passer: Chris Relf, MSU, 11-22-230-5-0 Leading Rusher: Vick Ballard, MSU, 18-226 (1-16-1 rec) Leading Receiver: Donte Moncrief, Ole Miss, 4-101-1 South Central Conference Report: Only one game really mattered in Round 7 for the South Central Conference. The match up of Arkansas at Arkansas State was to determine the Division 2 champion, and the Razorbacks proved their Natural State supremacy, winning 33-16 over the Red Wolves. By winning, the Razorbacks will now face LSU (7-0), which cruised over Louisiana Tech, 41-27. Both Arkansas and LSU were expected to win their divisions before the season started. With the loss, Arkansas State fell into a second-place tie with Mississippi State, but the Red Wolves get to claim sole possession of second due to their head-to-head win over the Bulldogs. The only other tie in the conference was a last place tie in Division 2 between UAB and Memphis. The Blazers were victorious in their head-to-head match up, so they will be seventh place. The Player of the Week is Chris Relf of Mississippi State who completed 11 of 22 passes for 230 yards and five touchdowns. He beat out teammate Vick Ballard who rushed for 226 yards on 18 carries and had a 16-yard touchdown reception.

Round 7 - Southwest Conference
UTEP 33 at Baylor 55
Leading Passer: Nick Lamaison, UTEP, 25-38-358-3-1 Leading Rusher: Terrance Ganaway, Baylor, 27-264-3 Leading Receiver: Mike Edwards, UTEP, 4-100 UTSA 24 at Texas State 20 Leading Passer: Shaun Rutherford, TSU, 16-20-186-1-0 Leading Rusher: Evans Okotcha, UTSA, 15-73-1 Leading Receiver: Chase Harper, TSU, 5-47 Texas 33 at Texas Tech 20 Leading Passer: Seth Doege, TT, 28-42-302-2-1 Leading Rusher: Malcolm Brown, Texas, 25-145-2 Leading Receiver: Jaxon Shipley, Texas, 4-105-1 New Mexico State 19 at New Mexico 28 Leading Passer: BR Holbrook, NMU, 17-25-284-3-1 Leading Rusher: Kenny Turner, NMSU, 20-83-1 Leading Receiver: Deon Long, NMU, 3-98-1 Kansas 14 at Kansas State 47 Leading Passer: Jordan Webb, 17-32-184-1-0 Leading Rusher: Collin Klein, KSU, 37-189-2 Leading Receiver: Kale Pick, KU, 3-39 Game MVP: Collin Klein, KSU, 37-189-2 rushing; 5-5-65-1-0 passing Tulsa 45 at SMU 20 Leading Passer: JJ McDermott, SMU, 29-50-400-2-3 Leading Rusher: Trey Watts, Tulsa, 19-64-2 Leading Receiver: Cole Beasley, SMU, 8-156-1 North Texas 7 at TCU 30 Leading Passer: Casey Pachall, TCU, 20-33-214-1-0 Leading Rusher: Ed Wesley, TCU, 10-110-1 Leading Receiver: Josh Bryce, TCU, 5-65-1 GAME OF THE WEEK: Oklahoma State 33 at Oklahoma 41 Leading Passer: Brandon Weeden, OSU, 34-56-390-2-2 Leading Rusher: Joseph Randle, OSU, 13-144 Leading Receiver: Justin Blackmon, OSU, 12-113-1 Game MVP: Roy Finch, OU, 22-109-2; 1-5 rec Southwest Conference Report: Let's start out with the player of the week. Then we can get into some of the tie breakers in what turned out to be the most confusing conference in the country to sort out. The Player of the Week was an easy choice. Terrance Ganaway of Baylor rushed 27 times for 264 yards and three touchdowns in the Bears' 55-33 win over UTEP. The game of the week was an exciting one, with Oklahoma beating Oklahoma State 41-33, preventing the Cowboys from completing an undefeated regular season. With TCU's win over North Texas, it set up a three-way tie for first place. Due to tie breakers, the Horned Frogs were able to claim the Division 2 crown thanks to having the largest margin of victory (15) in the series. Because the Sooners prevailed over Oklahoma State, they were second place. That left the Cowboys in third place, a huge swing from the result of one game. It will be exciting to see what Oklahoma State will do in the NCAA 128 Tournament as either a fifth or sixth seed. Whatever seed they end up as, they will be dangerous. There were two more three-way ties in the conference. In Division 1, New Mexico State, UTEP and UTSA all finished at 3-4. Two of the teams, UTSA and New Mexico State also tied for largest margin of victory (four points) in the series. That meant the team with the smallest margin of victory, UTEP, finished last of the three and in sixth place. Because the Road Runners beat NMSU, they took fourth place. Not bad for a first-year NCAA Division I-A program! In Division 2, the same scenario occurred, with three teams--Kansas State, SMU, and Tulsa--all finishing at 3-4. Tulsa had the largest margin of victory (25) in the series, so they were awarded fourth place. In their head-to-head match up, SMU beat the Wildcats and claimed fifth place. Conference Championship Round Schedule (Coin toss for teams with same record): 15th Place Game, 6:30 PM EST - Texas State (0-7) at North Texas (0-7) 13th Place Game, 8:00 PM EST - Kansas (1-6) at New Mexico (2-5) 11th Place Game, 8:00 PM EST - Kansas State (3-4) at UTEP (3-4) 9th Place Game, 8:00 PM EST - SMU (3-4) at New Mexico State (3-4) 7th Place Game, 5:00 PM EST - Tulsa (3-4) at UTSA (3-4) 5th Place Game, 6:30 PM EST - Texas Tech (4-3) at Oklahoma State (6-1) 3rd Place Game, 5:00 PM EST - Oklahoma (6-1) at Baylor (6-1) Championship at Arlington, TX, 6:30 PM EST - TCU (6-1) vs Texas (7-0)

great stuff stlee, really enjoying how this plays out. I had something similar to this that I was doing with college basketball, but I had too many other projects going on that I had to scrap it. I like what you're doing with this though and look forward to more projects like this. Maybe you could at some point do a college basketball project? just an idea.

Thanks! Right now, I plan to do a 2012 season replay with the same set up (and the added value of actually having some of these teams in game, like UTSA and Texas State). After that, I don't know what I'll do. Perhaps I can look into a NCAA Basketball Replay, but I don't know if it would be necessary to realign. Also, there are so many teams that I would probably have to select the Elite 128 or something like that.

Penn State jumped out to a 20-0 lead midway through the second quarter and held on to a 37-10 lead with 9:55 left in the game. The Eagles were able to score the last 10 points of the game for a seeming respectable 37-20 final. The win means Penn State will be the host of the Northeast Regional when the NCAA 128 Tournament is announced. Boston College will have to wait to see where it ends up in the tournament. The Nittany Lions took a 13-0 lead after one quarter. Anthony Fera kicked a pair of field goals from 47 and 45 yards. Silas Redd scored the first touchdown of the game, running in from one yard out. Redd finished with 74 yards rushing on 29 carries and two touchdowns. In the second quarter, Game MVP Matt McGloin connected with Andrew Szczerba from seven yards out. Fera’s extra point made it 20-0 at that point. The Eagles finally answered by scoring on a five-yard pass from Chase Rettig to Chris Pantale. With 1:03 left in the half, Redd scored his second touchdown, this one also from a yard out. Boston College completed the scoring in the first half by kicking a late field goal to make it 27-10 in favor of Penn State. Penn State then extended that lead in the third quarter. McGloin hit Justin Brown from 36 yards out, and Fera kicked his third field goal to give the Nittany Lions the 37-10 lead. Boston College scored its final ten points from a Retting to Ifeanyi Momah pass from six yards out and a Nate Freese field goal. Rettig finished 14 of 29 for 226 yards and two touchdowns. 11 AM Games MVP: Barrett Trotter, QB, Auburn. Trotter had a big day in the Tigers' 30-22 win over USF. He finished 31 of 59 for 388 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in leading Auburn to seventh place in the Southeast Conference.

Christmas is over in Korea, or at least the family part of Christmas was over. I was spending my time watching the Cowboys-Saints game on DVR at that time.
(As of this posting it is 11:20 AM on Wed., Dec. 26, making it 8:20 PM CST on Christmas Day in the States.) I have more time today sitting in my office doing not much of anything, so I'll try to finish the championship round today or tomorrow.

Virginia Tech led most of the game before the Tar Heels took the lead for good with 1:24 left in the third quarter. Game MVP Giovani Bernard scored on a 29-yard pass from Bryn Renner to give North Carolina a 21-16 lead at that point. The Tar Heels then scored all 10 points in the fourth quarter, including a four-yard Bernard run, his third touchdown of the game. The Hokies took the first lead of the game with 12:55 left in the second quarter when David Wilson scored his first of two touchdowns from three yards out. Wilson finished the game with 92 yards on 24 touchdowns rushing and three catches for 17 yards. North Carolina answered in the quarter when Bernard scored his first touchdown on the day, an 18-yard scamper to make it 7-7. Virginia Tech then answered with a 43-yard Cody Journell field goal for a 10-7 halftime lead. In the second half, the Tar Heels were the first to score. This time it was a three-yard strike from Renner to Dwight Jones. Renner was the leading passer on the day, finishing 23 of 35 for 364 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. After UNC’s score, Virginia Tech took its final lead of the game when Wilson scored on a three-yard run. Journell’s extra point attempt missed, giving the Hokies a 16-14 lead before the Tar Heels’ go-ahead score later in the quarter. Logan Thomas had an off day for Virginia Tech, going 16 of 25 for 185 yards and an interception. With the win. North Carolina will represent the East Conference as the number one home seed, while Virginia Tech will have to wait to see where it goes in the tournament. 12:30 Games MVP Raymond Maples, RB, Army. Maples ran wild on Maryland, finishing with 236 yards on 21 carries and three touchdowns. The Black Knights defeated Maryland 42-10 to earn 11th place in the Northeast Conference.

Yet, when it needed one final lift, its defense stepped up, scoring the game-winning touchdown with 5:26 remaining in the Spartans 27-13 win over the Bearcats. Cincinnati led 13-10 entering the fourth quarter in a day where the Spartans’ Kirk Cousins was off most of the day. He finished the day by going 19 of 33 for 263 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. That lone touchdown came late in the fourth quarter when Michigan State put the game away. In the fourth, though, Michigan State first had to take the lead. They tied the game 10-10 on a 30-yard Dan Conroy field goal with 14:56 to play. Then, with 5:26 left in the game, Bearcats quarterback Munchie Legaux made his biggest mistake of the day. After Cincinnati picked off Cousins for the second time, they had the ball in good field position at midfield. Legaux then drove the Bearcats to the Spartans’ 12-yard line. Legaux then tried to throw a quick out on a second and nine play, but Michigan State cornerback Johnny Adams made a break on the pass and cruised 89 yards for the 20-13 lead. Michigan State started the scoring in the game when Conroy kicked a 20-yard field goal in the first. The Bearcats matched with a 39-yard Tony Miliano field goal to make it 3-3 after one quarter. The Spartans took the lead again with just 53 seconds remaining in the half on an Edwin Baker 10-yard run. That gave MSU a 10-3 lead at halftime. The third quarter was all Cincinnati. Alex Chisum led off the scoring on a 14-yard reception from Legaux. Legaux finished 19 of 41 for 260 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions on the day. Miliano then kicked his second field goal to make it 13-10 in favor of the Bearcats heading into the fourth quarter. Michigan State’s final touchdown came when Cousins connected deep with Brian Linthicum for a 45-yard score. Linthicum was the leading receiver in the game, catching three passes for 95 yards. Michigan State will now be a host for the North Region in the NCAA 128 Tournament, meaning they will play home games for every remaining game on the season, unless they make it to the final eight, in which case they play all games at a neutral site. Cincinnati will wait to see where it plays, though the Bearcats will be guaranteed at least one home game as a number two seed. 2:00 Games MVP: Dustin Garrison, RB, WVU. Garrison scored three touchdowns--two rushing and one receiving--in the Mountaineers' 47-7 shellacking of Rutgers in a snow-covered Morgantown campus. He gained 153 yards rushing and 27 receiving, as the Mountaineers claim third place in the Northeast Conference.

The Crimson Tide trailed 12-10 entering the fourth quarter but got a touchdown and field goal to claim the 20-12 victory over Florida. Alabama is now the host of the Southeast Regional of the NCAA 128 Tournament and enters as the #1 overall seed. The Gators held on to a lead for a large chunk of the game, but they could never push the ball into the end zone. Caleb Sturgis kicked four field goals on the day to score all of Florida’s points. Alabama was once again led by the legs of Trent Richardson. Richardson had a game-high 105 yards rushing on 25 carries, and he scored the game-winning touchdown with 11:23 left in the fourth when he ran in from nine yards out. The Crimson Tide’s other touchdown came with 1:42 in the second quarter and trailing 9-3. AJ McCarron hit Darius Hanks on a 30-yard pass to give Alabama its first lead of the game, 10-9, going into the half. McCarron finished 19 of 30 for 260 yards and a touchdown. Florida seemed to have the best of Alabama most of the game. The Gators outgained Alabama 446-365 in the game, but the Crimson Tide’s defense stiffened in the red zone, only allowing Florida to score nine points on four trips there. John Brantley finished the game with 322 yards passing, but he did throw one costly red zone interception to Courtney Upshaw. Brantley was also sacked four times in the game. 3:30 Games MVP: Ryan Radcliff, QB, Central Michigan. The Chippewas' quarterback threw for a season-high 473 yards on 26 of 40 passing with five touchdowns and an interception in Central Michigan's 57-24 win at Ball State. Central Michigan earned 13th place in the North Conference with the win.

LSU’s Drew Alleman kicked a 28-yard field goal with 11 seconds left in regulation and then scored the only points of overtime with his 19-yarder to give LSU its 20-17 final. The Tigers were led by running back Spencer Ware, who finished the game with 81 yards rushing on 23 carries and a touchdown. He also caught two passes for 16 yards. The Razorbacks were tied or led most of the game. They took their first lead with 9:28 left in the second quarter when Dennis Johnson ran in from six yards. Johnson finished with 49 yards on 16 carries and a touchdown. LSU answered later in the first quarter when Ware scored from two yards out. For the game, LSU outrushed Arkansas 148-76. With 6:05 left in the third quarter, the Razorbacks took the lead again on Zach Hocker’s 35-yard field goal. The Tigers took their first lead of the game with 14:26 left to play. Jordan Jefferson connected with Odell Beckham from five yards out, giving LSU a 14-10 lead at that point. Jefferson finished 17 of 28 for 244 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Arkansas wasted no time, though, in reclaiming the lead. Tyler Wilson drove the Razorbacks downfield and finished the drive off when he hit Jarius Wright on a deep post from 26 yards out. With 11:08, Arkansas held on to a 17-14 lead, before Alleman’s game-tying field goal for LSU. In overtime, the Tigers had first possession. After an Arkansas penalty gave LSU the ball with first and goal at the nine, the Razorbacks’ defense stiffened, stopping the LSU drive at the two-yard line. Arkansas then got the ball but could only gain a yard. Hocker’s 41-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right, sparking celebration in the mostly pro-LSU Superdomw crowd. With the win, LSU is host to the South Central Region of the NCAA 128 Tournament and will be a #1 seed. Arkansas will be a #2 seed in a yet-to-be-named regional. 5:00 Games MVP: Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor. The Baylor quarterback exploded against Oklahoma in leading the Bears to the 49-44 win and third place in the Southwest Conference.

Case McCoy had a big day for the Longhorns, finishing 20 of 30 for 254 yards and three touchdowns to earn the game MVP. Texas is now the number one seed in the Southwest Region of the NCAA 128 Tournament. Scoring was tough to come by early in the game. Justin Tucker kicked two field goals in the first quarter to give Texas a 6-0 lead after one quarter. In the second quarter, the Horned Frogs’ Ross Evans cut the lead to 6-3 on a 31-yard field goal. It wasn’t until 1:29 remained in the half before the first touchdown was scored. McCoy made that touchdown happen by connecting with DJ Monroe on a three-yard score for a 13-3 lead. After a quick three and out by TCU, Texas got the ball back on a short punt at the TCU 46. They then drove 46 yards in 7 plays, capped off by McCoy connecting with Jaxon Shipley from five yards out and a 20-3 halftime lead. The Longhorns extended their lead to 27-3 early in the second half on Marquise Goodwin’s 46-yard touchdown run on an end around. TCU answered with its first touchdown later in the quarter when Ed Wesley scored from five yards out to make it 27-10. Texas scored again with 5:07 left in the third quarter on a 12-yard Joe Bergeron run, making the score 34-10 after three. TCU then started its run to make the game exciting. With 14:20 left in the game, Matthew Tucker scored from 28 yards out. Casey Pachall then connected with Antoine Hicks for the two-point conversion and a 34-18 Longhorns’ lead. After a stop, TCU got the ball back and drove to the ball to the Texas 1, thanks in part to a 67-yard run by Waymon James, who finished with a game-high 211 yards rushing on just 13 carries. Despite the Horned Frogs’ drive, they were stopped at the 1, giving the Longhorns the ball back. But on the first play from scrimmage, McCoy was sacked by Tanner Brock for a safety and the lead cut to 14 points. On the ensuing possession, TCU drove down field and scored on James’ 23-yard run. The point after attempt made the score 34-27 in favor of Texas with 4:44 left. With all of the momentum in the Horned Frogs’ favor, Texas answered with an 8-play, 70-yard drive for the game’s final points and a 41-27 win. McCoy hit Darius White from 15 yards out for the final points. The Horned Frogs could not answer the last Texas score, giving the Longhorns the conference crown. 6:30 Games MVP: Derek Thompson, QB, North Texas. It was hard to pick a player who shined in a game to avoid last place in the conference, but there is no doubt the Mean Green's Thompson put up some stellar number for a college football game. The North Texas QB finished 22 of 35 for 359 yards and five touchdowns in the Mean Green's 42-35 win over Texas State in the battle for 15th place in the Southwest Conference.
