BCS Top 25 Week 10 – “What We Learned”


College football Week 10 scores are in after a wild weekend that saw more BCS Top 25 teams lose than ever before.

Although not in the BCS Top 25, and possibly not in anyone’s top 50, an honorable mention goes to the Michigan Wolverines who connected on a two-pointer in the 3rd OT to come away with a 67-65 win against Illinois.

Here’s a rundown of the BCS Top 25 scores and “What We Learned”.

No.1 Oregon vs. Washington. Ducks win 53-16.

What did we learn?

1)    The Ducks need permission to run out of the tunnel.

2)    Oregon had a slow start and a fast finish. Kind of like everyone’s first sexual experience.

No.2 Auburn vs. Chattanooga. Tigers roll 64-24.

What did we learn?

1)    Cam Newton deserves to get paid.

2)    The Heisman Trust Fund has already framed a picture of Cam Newton.

No.3 TCU vs. No.5 Utah. Horned Frogs stun the Utes 47-7.

What did we learn?

1)    The TCU bandwagon just added a trailer.

2)    A lot of the Utes players seemed to pack it in early, but Commitment never gave up.

No.4 Boise State vs. Hawaii. Broncos win 42-7.

What did we learn?

1)    Sure, Kellen Moore can throw the ball, but he’s still goofy looking.

2)    Fans can expect another week of “poor Boise State deserves to play in the national championship” talk.

No.6 Alabama vs. No.10 LSU. Mad Hatter wins 24-21.

What did we learn?

1)    Les Miles is the best grass-eating coach out there.

2)    Les Miles claps with his fingers spread out. We’re assuming he does this because he believes it creates better aerodynamics.

No.7 Nebraska vs. Iowa State. Nebraska survives 31-30.

What did we learn?

1)    Don’t go for a two-point conversion if your holder sucks at throwing the football.

2)    At some schools, winning in overtime is celebrated the same way as winning a championship.

No.8 Oklahoma vs. Texas A&M. Aggies with the upset, 33-19.

What did we learn?

1)    Catching a sure touchdown from a backup quarterback on a fake field goal is not as easy as it sounds.

2)    The Sooners can go 99 yards with no problem.

No.9 Wisconsin vs. Purdue. Badgers win 34-13.

What did we learn?

1)    If you prefer your teams to gain 303 total yards, then this was your kind of game.

2)    After scoring two TD’s and running for a career-high 147 yards, Montee Ball can now be the backup running back again.

No.12 Missouri vs. Texas Tech. Red Raiders win 24-17.

What did we learn?

1)    Camouflage jerseys don’t work.

2)    The Big 12 is filled with mediocre teams.

No.13 Stanford vs. No.15 Arizona. Cardinal win big, 42-17.

What did we learn?

1)    Brent Musburger and Kirk Herbstreit will start talking about basketball when they are bored.

2)    ABC just switches to another game when it is bored.

No.14 Michigan State vs. Minnesota. Spartans win 31-8.

What did we learn?

1)    A great way to get back into a winning form is to play Minnesota.

2)    Kirk Cousins is the Ricky Stanzi of 2009.

No.16 Iowa vs. Indiana. Hawkeyes win 18-13.

What did we learn?

1)    A good way to get your name out there is to drop the game-winning touchdown pass.

2)    Iowa hates scoring red zone TDs.

No.17 Oklahoma State vs. No.21 Baylor. Cowboys win 55-28.

What did we learn?

1)    Baylor’s secondary thought they were playing for Michigan.

2)    You can suspend Justin Blackmon, but you cannot stop him.

No.18 Arkansas vs. No.19 South Carolina. Razorbacks win 41-20.

What did we learn?

1)    Steve Spurrier loves calling trick plays. Unfortunately, his team is not good at converting them.

2)    If there were no names or logos on the jerseys, you would have easily confused these two teams for one another.

No.22 Virginia Tech vs. Georgia Tech. Hokies come back to win 28-21.

What did we learn?

1)    The best way to disrupt Tyrod Taylor is to give him as much time in the pocket as he needs.

2)    Punters should spend more time at practice learning how to tackle.

No.23 Nevada vs. Idaho. The Wolf Pack embarrass the Vandals, 63-17.

What did we learn?

1)    Idaho must have some trouble recruiting local talent.

2)    If you give up 844 yards, you’re gonna lose.

No.24 Florida State vs. North Carolina. Tar Heels win 37-35.

What did we learn?

1)    The Tar Heels long snapper is way too good at his job, or bad depending on whether you count accuracy.

2)    Wide right. Enough said.

No.25 North Carolina State vs. Clemson. Tigers win 14-13.

What did we learn?

1)    This game was uglier than Joakim Noah.

2)    If you’re going to bench your starting quarterback, you should probably tell him.
