It is now week eleven and the number one Oregon and the number two Auburn remain undefeated. This week Oregon did face a very tough opponent which gave them the biggest scare of the season. Auburn did play how they usually do and put up 49 on the Georgia Bulldogs. A game that I would like to bring is 23 South Carolina vs. 22 Florida, man what a game that was. The last game we would speak about is the thrilling game that went into overtime, USF vs. Louisville.
First lets tackle the 1 Oregon vs. Cal. This was thought to be a blowout game like the rest of them for Oregon. Unfortunately for Oregon Cal came out to play. The division rival had set up a game plan for them like no other this season has. In the first quarter Cal dominated the game with their run game and drew first blood to lead 7-0 Cal. In the second quarter Oregon scored on a punt return and scored on the two point conversion. Oregon now leads 8-7 at half. It seems like the Oregon offense is sleeping and nothing is done to awaken them. In the second half Oregon scored a touch down and made the extra point. The score is now 15-7. With nine minutes left Cal scored a touchdown and missed on the two point conversion. The final score was 15-13 Oregon. Even thought they got the victory I am sure that Oregon was not pleased. They need to get ready for the weeks to come.
The second game that was a god one was 23 South Carolina vs. 22 Florida. The poor old gators just didn't have what it takes to overcome the power of the gamecocks. This was a conference battle that the gators could not come through for. UF began impressively returning the first kick off for a touch down. The game cocks quickly calmed down the gators by scoring a touchdown and a field goal. At the end of the first the score was 9-7. As the game continued it was all game cocks. entering the half the score was 15-7 gamecocks after making two field goals. In the second half it was more of the South Carolina team, they scored three more touchdowns and held the gators to one. The final score ended u being 36-14 South Carolina. The gators have shown that they are not the same team of the past and have a lot to prove.
The last game is the one and only USF vs. Louisville. This was really a thriller that went into over time. The first quarter was very quiet and Louisville ended up leading and scoring first, the score was 7-0 Louis. In the second quarter USF woke up and scored a touchdown and a field goal, holding Louis to just a touchdown. The score at half was 14-10 Louis. In the third quarter things were very quiet but the bulls were able to put a field goal on the board. Entering the fourth the score was 13-14 Louis. In the fourth quarter USF scored early and went for two and made it, the score was now 21-14. With one minute to play Louis scored and tied the game up at 21; we now head to overtime. After a Louisville turnover USF capitalizes and scores a game winning field goal.

It is now week ten and and number one Oregon and number two Auburn remain undefeated. Oregon ran the score up on Washington beating them 53-16 and Auburn clawed Chattanooga 62-24. Some of the more eye catching games of the week were 6 Alabama vs. 10 LSU, 7 Nebraska vs. Iowa St. and North Carolina vs. 24 Florida St.
Saturday afternoon Alabama took a visit to Baton Rouge with the hope of defeating the high ranked rival. In the first quarter things were very quiet. LSU were the first to drive down the field and convert with a field goal. In the second quarter, things were quiet once again with Alabama being the only ones to drive down and scoring a touchdown this was a one yard pass to Richardson. At half the game was close and could be anyones to win. The second half did wake up both teams. In the third quarter both teams put a touchdown on the board; the score is now 14-10 Alabama. In the fourth LSU went on a scoring spree they scored two field goals and a touchdown to lead Alabama 24-14. In the last minutes a touch down was scored by Alabama to make the score 24-21 LSU. The tigers ended up winning this sec battle and clinch the SEC.
The second game that was very interesting was number 7 Nebraska vs. the unranked Iowa St. This game really demonstrated the talent and strength of Iowa St. Nebraska drew first blood scoring a td in the first two minutes of the game. Iowa St. quickly responded and scored a td and a field goal in the first quarter making the score 10-7 Iowa St. In the second quarter it was all Nebraska. They scored two touchdowns to make the score 24-10 Nebraska. At half I am more than sure that Iowa St. made an adjustment because they were controlling and protecting the line and secondary. In the fourth quarter it was all Iowa St. they scored two touchdowns to tie the game at 24 and send it to over time. In overtime Nebraska scored a td first and made the extra point to make the score 31-24. When Iowa St. got the ball they scored but decided to go for two. Unfortunately it was failed and Nebraska won. This was a great game to the end and a wake up call for Nebraska.
The last game that seemed to be a very good one was North Carolina vs. 24 Florida St. When these two teams come out to play they always put on a show. They are both competing to lead in their devision and really battled it out.

10/30/10 week 9 updates
Week nine in the bcs is on its way and it just keeps getting better. This week some of the hot games to talk about are Michigan St. Vs. Iowa, Missouri vs. Nebraska and Utah vs. Airforce
Michigan St. is known for winning games and showing up when it counts. In this game Iowa who is ranked 18 game Michigan St who is ranked 5 a run for their money. The Iowa defense was flawless. They did not allow a single touch down till the fourth quarter. Many believed that Michigan St was the better team but the truth is that Iowa is a tough football team and they play hard. The Iowa offense dominated with over 350 yards of offense and four touchdown. Fortunately Michigan St got to score one touchdown and missed the two point conversion to end the game 37-6 Iowa. The turnovers and mistakes is what really caused Michigan St to continue being undefeated.
The second game in this weeks presentation is Missouri vs. Nebraska. This game was very controversial for Nebraska fans because the quarterback for Missouri de-committed from the big red. So before the game came to mind the big red fans had a grudge toward B. Gabbert the starting quarterback for Missouri. Fortunately the Nebraska defense disrupted Gabbert enough to not let him get comfortable. Nebraska ended up scoring the first 24 points in the first quarter! Missouri got to get their first points in the second quarter, this was a 33 yard touchdown run by De’Vion Moore; the score was now 24-7 Nebraska. In the second half the teams seemed like they went to sleep. Missouri scored a touchdown and field goal in the third quarter while Nebraska score a touchdown of their own. The score at the end of the third and at the end of the game was 31-17 Nebraska.
The last and final game is Utah vs. Air force. This was a game that was thought to have been a blow out, but the Air force academy being as strong as they are never gave up. At the end of the first it was 7-7. Both of the teams were playing good football and were not committing many mistakes. In the second quarter the Air Force score a field goal and Utah score a touchdown. Going into the half the score was 14-10 Utah.
In the second half it was like if each team took turns scoring in quarters. In the third it was all Utah; they scored two touchdowns and led the ballgame 28-10. In the fourth it was all Air Force; they scored two touchdowns but the rally was not enough and ended the game losing. The final score was 28-23 Utah. They remain undefeated and are playing very good football.
10/23/10 Week 8 Updates
We are now in week eight and the bcs race is really getting hot. We have still have six undefeated teams and every team is trying to stay on top. Some of the most interesting games this week are Oklahoma vs. Missouri, LSU vs. Auburn and Wisconsin vs. Iowa.
Number one Oklahoma had a big challenge this week going on the road to face the alway tough Missouri team who is ranked eleven in the country. In this game Missouri drew first blood, they returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. Even though they got hit very fast Oklahoma strapped up and got to their game. They replied with a two minute drive to tie up the game. Throughout the whole game it was very even till the fourth quarter came around. Entering the fourth quarter the score was 21-20 Oklahoma. Missouri’s defense locked down the Oklahoma offense and scored and the ensuing three drive, two touchdowns and one field goal. With 6:36 remaining in the game the score was now 36-21 Missouri. They held on to win 36-27 and remained unbeaten.
The next game that had many on their toes was LSU vs. Auburn. This game did come down to the end but in my eyes should have been a blow out. The Auburn tigers just totally dominated and controlled the game, they had over 500 yards of offense but just could not capitalize on their successes. The first quarter was very slow with many mistakes and ended up being 7-3 Auburn leading. In the second quarter the LSU team seams to wake up and spark up this game. They score a touchdown run with Jefferson and held Auburn to a field goal in the whole quarter. Entering half time the score was 10-10. In the second half the game continued to be a nail bitter, in this quarter their was only one touchdown and it was by Auburn. They ended the quarter up 17-10. Entering the fourth LSU quickly scores to tie the ball game and give the ball back to Auburn with 12 minutes left in the game, the score is now 17-17. The last and final touchdown to win the game was by Auburn with 05:05 left in the game. This touchdown was an enormous 70 yard touchdown run by Ontario McCalebb.
The final game I have this week is Wisconsin vs. Iowa. Here we have two very physical and tough football teams that have a lot to lose. Both of the teams ranked in the top 15 are still on the chase for a major bowl game. The first quarter was close with few scoring Wisconsin scored a field goal and Iowa scored a touchdown but missed the extra point that is going to hurt them later on in the ball game. In the second quarter both teams put up a touchdown which made the game 13-10 Iowa at half. In the third quarter the teams came out firing. Wisconsin scored two touchdowns and Iowa one, the score entering the fourth was 24-20 Wisconsin. In the fourth Iowa struck back scoring twice in the first seven minutes. They put up a touch down and a field goal making the game 30-24 Iowa. Wisconsin with one minute left crushed Iowa and scored a late touchdown to win by one point. This was a really good game, both teams fought it out and at the end the missed extra point hurt Iowa big time.
