5th Quarter (College)

LetDown Saturday

1. Mizzou vs. Nebraska-All that magic of last weeks win over the Sooners was left in Columbia when the Tigers faced Nebraska. The sad thing is Mizzou actually had a decent chance to beat the Huskers but just allowed too many big plays. Roy Helu Jr rushed for a school record 307 yards as the Huskers dominated the Tigers physically, even without Taylor Martinez. Running the ball like that at Nebraska and setting a record is saying something.For all the balance the Tigers had last week, the depended entirely on Gabbert and the passing game. Gary Pinkel and David Yost, the offensive coordinator, have to find balance to keep teams honest. Just another missed opportunity.

2. Mich St. vs. Iowa-The Spartans never even got off the bus. Iowa is a good team but at least compete in your toughest and biggest game Sparty. Seriously.

3. Oregon vs. USC-Can anyone stop the Ducks? Highly unlikely with the way they are playing right now.

4.Pac-10- Is pretty good besides Oregon. Stanford and Arizona are really good football teams both with one-loss that could compete with anyone in the nation. The knock on the Pac-10 in years past is they never play defense. These two teams actually hang their hats on the defensive end of the field.

5. SEC West-Is probably the most dominant division in all of college football. 4 of the 5 teams in the top 25. Cam Newton didn't run the ball well but he threw it really well and in the long run that will help to keep the Auburn Tigers on top of the west.

6. Baylor-Has always been a joke in football but this year they are bowl eligible and just knocked off Texas for the first time in Austin since 1991. The Bears are now tied for first in the Big 12 south, who would have ever thought that.
