After three weeks, the college football season is just heating up.  No big surprises in the rankings.  With USC, Oklahoma, Georgia, Florida and Missouri at the top of the list.  There were some upsets this weekend.  #21 West Virginia got pounded by Colorado.  This loss should officially knock them out of the top 25 for the year, with little hope of climbing back up.  They just aren’t very good.  Florida and Georgia both with, with Florida putting a whupping on Tennessee.  Alabama keeps rolling along, with a couple more wins like the butt kicking they put on Arkansas, they should be in the top 5 soon.  South Florida and Wake Forest remain undefeated, both winning on the road.  Wake Forest’s win at Florida being just a little more impressive.  I think it might be time for Bobby to retire down there in the panhandle.  There were no huge upsets or any real surprises this weekend, just a solid bunch of games that make me hungry for bowl season.

It was a lot closer than it should have been, but the Hurricanes played like a team possessed for the first three quarters.  The Gators started off fast with a 14 yd touchdown pass from Tim Tebow to Aaron Hernandez early in the first quarter, but then Miami’s defense stepped it up.  I thought it was the mid-eighties again.  I was having flashbacks to the glory years.  But, they couldn’t sustain the punishing defense for the whole game.  You knew it was only a matter of time before Tebow and Percy would get it together and put the game away.  Percy had a 2 yd TD run in the fourth and Tebow followed with another TD pass a few minutes later.  Miami had no chance of making a comeback.  The Gators defense would not allow it.   But the Gators have to pick it up and play better in all aspects of the game, they will have some true tests soon, having to play Tennessee, Arkansas and LSU in the next four weeks.  If they can get through these games with W’s, then they will definitely be worthy of their #5 ranking, and possibly even a higher one.  I need to see a few more games before I can say that I might see another National Championship ahead.  But, with Tebow on route to another Heisman, why not another championship or two.
