WEEK 8 RECAP

Week 8 offered plenty of bigtime matchups and saw plenty of upsets.

#3 Nebraska fell to #7 Penn State 28-6 after losing Heisman Canidate QB T. Martinez for the season. With the win the PSU moves up to #5 well the Huskers drop to #7.

The Huskers were not the only Big Ten team to fall this week as #4 Ohio State loses 20-16 to Minnesota. The Buckeyes drop to #16 after the loss

Notre Dame squeeks by Illinios 24-21 but remains unranked.

#2 Alabama got by #17 Tennessee 27-17 in a SEC battle, but were unable to move up to the #1 ranking, as #1 Michigan pounded instate rival Michigan State 24-6.

#25 Auburn continues their strong season with a 48-10 win over LSU, well Florida picks up just their 2nd SEC win of the season (2-3) with a 38-9 win over Georgia

#14 South Carolina pulls out the 4th Q win 24-20 over #18 Arkansas. SCAR moves up to #11 well the Razerbacks fall to #24

#8 Texas beats instate rival Texas Tech 42-12 and moves up 2 spots to #6, well #6 TCU falls Oklahoma 45-27. With the loss, the Hornfrogs drop to #14 well the Sooners rejoin the Top-25 at #20

#11 Florida State moves up 2 spots to #9 after destroying Duke 51-7 (Guess Duke should stick to basketball)

#5 Virginia Tech moves up to #3 after a 35-33 thriller over #21 Clemson

In Pac-10 news it was a team that didn't play this week making the most noise. Undefeated Washington (7-0) moves up from #9 to #4 setting up what hopes to be a very exciting Apple Cup.

Also Utah defeats Cal 17-16, Stanford defeats Colorado 24-13 and #13 USC defeats Oregon 35-12, as the Ducks continue their roller coaster season. With the win the Trojans move up to #11 in the Coaches poll.

Here is a list of some other noteable games

Fresno State-52 San Diego State-6
Western Kentucky-37 UL Layfatte-34
Boise State-41 UNLV-14
North Texas-24 Arizona-18
