The Round Up: Week 8

Not quite the turmoil of the last few weeks but some big games none-the-less.



Texas 56 Missouri 31

Its amazing what two weeks can do to a season. Missouri went from the toast of the town to struggling to make it to the Big-XII conference game. They have Kansas at the end of the year to try and get into the conference game. Although they may not stand a chance against whoever emerges from the south division.

Alabama 24 Ole Miss 20

It was a little close for comfort but a win is a win. Their offense was stagnate in the second half but a solid defensive effort late in the game solidified the win.

Penn State 46 Michigan 17

I'm sure the Nittany Lions enjoyed putting up a big win to end a 7 game skid against the Wolverines. Ohio State is looming next week and a chance to take a commanding lead in the conference.

Oklahoma 45 Kansas 31

Sam Bradford and OU made a statement against Kansas. Even with a loss to Texas they are in the thick of things.

USC 69 Washington State 0

Another one loss team looking to sneak in the back door. Big wins next week against Arizona and then Cal two weeks later can help their cause.

Georgia 24 Vandy 14

Cinderella is going to have wait another year. Georgia has LSU this weekend and Florida the weekend after. This will make or break their season.

Ohio State 45 Michigan State 7

This is a different Ohio State team than what we saw against USC. Aka a healthy Beanie Wells. Terrell Pryor is starting to look like a stud. Dare I say it? The Big-10 isn't that bad....? We shall see come BCS time.

Maryland 26 Wake Forest 0

I don't even know what to say. Wake Forest can't put up points. It has been a problem all year but it finally caught up with them this weekend.
