Four more undefeateds fell by the wayside this weekend, the biggest surprise being #1 USC to unranked Stanford. Wisconsin lost to then unranked Illinois, Kentucky lost to South Carolina and Purdue lost to Ohio State.

Unranked Connecticut (plays 5-1 Virginia this week)
As far as the Red River Shootout goes, even though Texas lost, they sure put up a good fight - a lot more than anyone expected them to. If it weren't for the two turnovers, I think Texas would have had a very good chance to pull out the victory. I also don't understand why Florida wasted almost 30 seconds at the end of the game by waiting until the play clock was almost down to zero, then calling a time out. That could have been the difference in giving them enough time to drive back down the field and try to answer LSU's late touchdown. I can't believe LSU was 5-5 on 4th down conversion towards the end of the game. That truly was a great game.
Personally, I hope there are no undefeated teams at the end of this year. It would be great to have 5-10 one loss teams. I think the BCS crap needs to stop and we need some sort of playoff system like every other college sport has. Even division II-A football has a playoff system! Why can't division I-A have one? I don't think it would take at all away from the regular season - it would be just as exciting. Can you imagine college football playoffs?

I'm sorry Texas lost too. The game was SO close though. Texas really played well (mostly). Too bad for those turnovers.
I think the BCS is crap too. It only makes sense to have a playoff system. So many teams don't even get the chance to play for the Championship even if they are undefeated just because they aren't ranked as high. They need a chance to defend themselves!
