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.

at 
(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.

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
WHats going on with Michigan/ Iowa?
Michigan's up 14, and Iowa is driving with less than 3 minutes left.
BC beats Florida State. That heat has to be getting a little uncomfortable for "Saint" Bobby in Tallahassee.
Who cares about pathetic MSU's comeback against Northwestern? Big F'n deal.
I got bonus coverage of Michigan/Iowa here...
I would say so...wonder if he'll sacrifice his son to placate the fan base?
yep that was amazing.
After struggling against big bad MSU and UCLA, Notre Dame is now being hyped as a national championship contender. Unbelievable.
Well, John L. Smith, for one.
Probably rintense for another. And, I'll play good soldier, and congratulate State too.
I'm a MTU grad, normally a Michigan fan in everything but hockey (go Tech!), but I'll put in a shout-out for my fellow Michigan schools when they deserve it. And today, they deserved it! MSU has usually been their own worst enemy, and it is good to see them fight off that tendancy today.
Some great finishes....
Tennessee survives 16-13 over Alabama....
Cal beats Washington in OT by a TD - 31-24. Washington sent the game to OT on a great hail Mary play....
Michigan holds on to beat Iowa 20-6
UPSET ALERT
Washington St 27
Oregon 3
Nice knowing you Oregon

I like this one in particular, as he saved Lloyd Carr's bacon today:
(And I'm fond of this one too:
)
NO but Ted Ginn Jr. is and FAR more deserving of the Heisman than Smith(one year wonder) also Ginn is a returner and reciever.
That !@#% Notre Dame game!!! Can someone explain to me the holding call against Notre Dame on UCLA's final punt. I was eating at a restaurant and the sound was turned down.
I was confused. It was against ND and UCLA was repunting? Did i missed something? I could have about that time some lovely ladies came in and my attention was diverted.
I think you're wrong about that one.
Smith is awesome, very deserving of being the top Heisman candidate so far, he's much like Vince Young was last year to Texas.
Looks like cruising for both till Nov 18.
it was a post kick holding penalty, meaning that it was not an automatic first down.
UCLA has an option to either redo the play or tack it on at the end of the kick.
UCLA decided to rekick and then forgot to tackle.
yeah
Minnesota struggled against ND St today
