-------------------------------
* Boston College and Arizona St both picked up big signature wins in dramatic come-from-behind fashion. I'm starting to think that Matt Ryan is going to win the Heisman, mainly because there just aren't many candidates that have both the statistics and wins.
* Kansas is also proving more each week that they are for real. They easily could have stumbled during either of the past two weeks with road games against Colorado and Texas A&M. Looking at the rest of their schedule, the Big 12 North could come down the last weekend of the regular season with a huge matchup against Missouri at Kansas City.
* It's hard to imagine Ohio St or Michigan losing before their final game, so that game should decide the Big Ten. Wisconsin has a chance against both of them, but they haven't lived up to their preseason expections.
* Connecticut has replaced Virginia as the most surprising team with one loss.
* Is it possible to have six teams in one division closer that they are the SEC East? One team is 6-3, two are 6-3, and three are 5-3. Georgia may be the favorite with just two home games in conference left. Tennessee does have the tiebreaker over Georgia, but has to travel to Lexington. If both of them lose, then it's anybody's game.
* Remember when Michigan St was 4-0? They've now lost four of their last five games and are 1-4 in Big Ten play.
* Troy is crushing all of its competition in the Sun Belt. They are going to be a 9-10 win team this year, depending on if Georgia is ready for them this weekend or not.
* Buffalo has won three of the last four and currently the leader of the MAC East. They and Air Force are the leaders for under-the-radar surprise team of the year.

Interesting thing about UConn. In their only loss this season, they lost by a single point to UVA. They are that close to being undefeated!
However, they are also the owners of two wins by default. Officials have publicly apologized for only two calls this year. 1) Temple should have had that TD to beat UConn. 2) UConn did call a fair catch and should not have been allowed to score that return TD that gave them the win over Louisville.
I'm throwing a flag on the bashing of Michigan State. Yes, they were 4-0 and have lost four of their last five to drop to 5-4 (1-4).
However, their losses have been all been by 7 points or less and three of them have been on the road. They are still a good team. Michigan, Purdue, and Penn State would be wise to take the game against the Spartans very seriously.
