Week Seven brought another major upset in the Big Ten and the SEC. Iowa lost to Indiana; Vanderbilt beat Georgia snapping a 53 game losing streak to ranked teams. While this season has been kind of odd in that here have not been very many major upsets, the past two weeks have provided their fair share. The Auburn – Florida game lived up to the hype and went down to the last minute with Auburn winning the game. It was not without controversy either, which is another long running story this year. This week features two games that should get top billing. Texas travels to face Nebraska while Clemson hosts Georgia Tech in a battle for ACC supremacy.

(12) Clemson (-7.5) at (13) Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech has the best defense in the ACC. They shut down Notre Dame and have been dominant in each of their other games. Clemson has a chance to really take control of the ACC with a win. Clemson will win this game, but it will be closer than a Touchdown.

Texas A&M comes in after a big win for them against Missouri. The line indicates that people aren’t buying it quite yet. I’m a believer.

Record for the year
I'll skip the sob story and just say that if I pick a game one way, you have a better than even chance of being right if you pick it the other way.
117-28 Straight UP
77-64-4 Against the Spread
Cal scores TD... gets 2 point conversion now up 24-17 , 1:52 left
Nope.
With the way Cal is playing today, they are the last best hope for a USC loss I'm afraid....
woohooo :)
Why doesn't the media ever talk about how pathetic the teams are that ND struggles against?
It puts me in the awful position of having to root for ND against USC.
tell me about it....
BS. The clock stops on a 1st down, then starts again when the ref winds his arm. However, when the runner/reciever goes out of bounds, the clock stops until the ball is snapped. UCLA received the kick, ran out of bounds, clock stopped at :17, and then on 1st down the Notre Dame clock operator started the clock before the snap. Didn't make a difference in the outcome of the game, but it was a mistake, and an inexcusable one at that. I'm fed up with home clock operators.
Now its BC's turn to choke against FSU.
The kid should have taken the touchback anyway.
I'm telling you it's different on kickoffs than on regular plays.
I don't think that will happen.
Hope not.
Hahahaha!!! Not over yet, but it's looking a little brighter for BC.
Don't curse it!
And I'm telling you that you are confused. The change this year is that on a kickoff once the runner is down and the ref resets the ball the clock starts, instead of traditionally not starting until the snap. However if the runner goes out of bounds, the clock still doesn't start until the snap, just like with any play where the runner goes out of bounds. Out of bounds or opposing penalty is the only way to stop the clock until the snap, and that doesn't change to a special situation on the kickoff.
What the Hail Mary, Washington scores a TD on the rebound with no time remaining to take Cal to overtime, at Cal.
Washington ties it up- at 24, going to OT
The clock started in the same situation in the FSU/BC game, so it would appear that Mike is correct.
It's over...
Every team has a chance against FSU with Weatherford as starting QB.
