#1 Ohio State (10-0, 6-0) defeated NR/#19 Wisconsin (7-3, 3-3) 38-18.
#2 Boston College was knocked from the unbeaten ranks by the Florida State Seminoles (6-3, 3-3) 27-17 as yet another #2 team gets it’s comeuppance.
#3 LSU (8-1, 5-1) squeeked past #17/18 Alabama (6-3, 4-2) 41-34 in a high scoring affair in which the Tigers tried their best to give the game to the Crimson Tide.
#4 Oregon’s Dixon led Ducks(8-1, 5-1) beat the #6 Arizona State Sun Devils (8-1, 5-1) 35-23. Thus ends Arizona State’s undefeated season.

#6 Arizona State (8-1, 5-1) loses to #4 Oregon (8-1, 5-1) 35-23.

#11/13 Virginia Tech (7-2, 4-1) played all 60 minutes of this game and handed Georgia Tech (5-4, 2-4) a 27-3 whipping Thursday night.
#12/11 Hawaii (8-0, 5-0) is IDLE this week.

#14/12 Texas Longhorns (8-2, 4-2) won this contest over Oklahoma State (5-4, 3-2) 38-35 but the Cowboys dang near dehorned ‘em.
#15/14 Michigan (8-2, 6-0) continued to roll in a close one versus Michigan State (5-5, 1-5) 28-24.
#16/20 Connecticut Huskies (8-1, 4-0) doubled up on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (5-4, 2-3) 38-19 despite giving up 511 yards of total offense. They did it by forcing RU to settle for field goals instead of permitting TDs.
#17/18 Alabama (6-3, 4-2) lost to #3 LSU (8-1, 5-1). The Tide got helped by tons of LSU miscues but ended up on the short end of the score, 41-34, in the last two minutes and couldn’t muster enough offense to pull it out.

#19/16 Auburn Tigers (7-3, 4-2) roughed up Tennessee Tech (4-6, 2-4 in the Ohio Valley Conference) 35-3.

#22 Boise State (8-1, 5-0) rolled over San Jose State (3-6, 2-3) with little opposition 42-7 proving that Smurf Turf is magical stuff.
#23/25 South Carolina Gamecocks (6-4, 3-4) fall to the Arkansas Razorbacks (6-3, 2-3) 48-36.
#24/NR Tennessee Volunteers (6-3, 3-2) whip La.-Lafayette (1-8, 1-3 in the Sun Belt) 59-7. Can you say “mismatch” boys and girls?

NR/19 Wisconsin (7-3, 3-3) lose to #1 Ohio State (10-0, 6-0) 38-17
