Joe Friday, Col. Potter, Elwood Blues and...Tom Hanks?

Upsets were the norm this weekend, but we did pretty well, hitting on everything except the 3 star game.  Out of our scope: Florida escaped, Nebraska didn't, and the world of Purdue football is all smiles this week after the Boilers pounded Ohio State.  The Hawkeyes are in the driver's seat in the Big Ten, and my preseason pick for the national title, Texas, was lucky that Sam Bradford wasn't around for much of their game against Oklahoma.

I didn't get to see much of the games that we selected, as I was being a social being, so here's a Jack Webb scorecard. 

****Miami -15 ½ @ Central Florida
WINNER

Final score Miami 27, Central Florida 7

The 'Canes didn't let us down as their defense ruled the day.

***Virginia Tech -3 ½ @ Georgia Tech
LOSER

Final score GA Tech 28, VA Tech 23

Heard about it, checked on it, couldn't do anything to change it.  We lost.

**Central Michigan -6 ½ @ Western Michigan
WINNER

Central Michigan 34, Western Michigan 23
The big question at CMU is how high will Dan LeFevour go in the NFL draft.

*Florida Atlantic +2 @ North Texas
WINNER

Florida Atlantic 44, North Texas 40

I couldn't figure out where to find the Florida Atlantic/North Texas score as I frantically pounded the Blackberry at the party Saturday night.  It's the Sun Belt Conference.

 

Jack Webb:  just the facts.
