* MICHIGAN 47, UMass 24 - Hail to the champions of the ... east?
* MICHIGAN STATE 28, Notre Dame 27 - More hope than reason here
* USC 49, Minnesota 0 - This one has OUCH written all over it
* OHIO STATE 56, Ohio 6 - Guess Bucks deserve a breather after Miami win

* NEBRASKA 38, Washington 14 - Close for a half, but Huskers pull away
* FLORIDA 35, Tennessee 10 - Gators haven't impressed yet
* AUBURN 26, Clemson 13 - ACC takes another big hit - still not Big East
* TEXAS 24, Texas Tech 9 - Only shows how far Big XII has dropped

And off the board ...
