- The "BCS-buster" watch has been compelling thus far in the college football season. East Carolina continued its winning ways with a 28-24 victory over Tulane, while Mountain West rivals BYU and Utah both won in impressive fashion - BYU blanking UCLA, 59-0, and Utah over Utah State, 58-10. Does East Carolina, BYU or Utah have the best chance to go undefeated and make a BCS bowl game?
- On Friday, we wrote about whether referees have a bias in favor of their own respective conference. Ironically, after the controversial incident that occurred late Saturday night in the Wisconsin/Fresno State game, many people are asking this exact question. If you didn't hear about what happened, it appeared a Fresno State player fumbled the ball during the third quarter, but the ruling on the field was overturned and called an incomplete pass by the WAC replay officials. Nevertheless, Wisconsin was able to overcome the adversity and win the game, 13-10. Do you think officials hold a bias toward their own conferences?
- Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing has become a household name on the football field over the last couple of seasons. Additionally, he is equally as impressive in the classroom, and he says he applies lessons he learns in school to football. He is interested in pursuing an international business program in Denmark after his graduation. Needless to say, Reesing is the epitome of a student-athlete.
- The most thrilling finish of the weekend had to be the last-second Hail Mary completion in Buffalo's 30-28 victory over Temple. Buffalo's Drew Willy connected with Naaman Roosevelt for the 35-yard touchdown pass and walk-off win.
