College Football: Week 10 Results

Last week I said that TCU might be too much for Utah to handle even at home. Well, we are down to just four undefeated teams now as #6 Utah (8-1) was spanked by#4 TCU (10-0) 47-7.

To be honest, I also said the following:
“In other games matching two ranked teams—and there are four of them, look for #5 Alabama to tame the #12 LSU Tigers[Oops! LSU won by 3.]; #10 Stanford Cardinal to beat #13 Arizona. [Got that one right! Stanford 42-17.] As for #17 Arkansas vs #18 South Carolina or #19 Oklahoma State vs #22 Baylor—pick’em. The former depends upon which Arkansas team shows up and whether the Gamecocks’ Stephen Garcia gets enough time to do well. [Was Garcia even there? Arkansas 41-20.] The latter depends upon which defense bends without breaking too often. Baylor may have an edge there. [Ha! OSU 55-28.]”

[The three numbers for the rankings are from the AP Top 25, The Harris Coaches’ Poll, and CBSSports.com. An “NR” means that that particular poll did Not Rank the team.]
