Week 5: Upsets

TCU falls; so does Baylor and South Carolina. South Florida and VaTech made poor showings for ranked teams. Texas A&M was "welcomed" to the SEC...after blowing another big lead. Florida not only showed some weakness but lost the starting QB. Clemson and GaTech are making the ACC look very good. And LSU and Alabama and Oklahoma look really, really tough to beat.

BYU found the problem with the offense (Heaps) as well as the answer (Nelson). Nothing against Heaps - he has a great skill set and moments of greatness. It just appears that he has been unable to settle down and do what he is really capable of doing. Kudos to the coaching staff for stepping up (albeit a little late IMHO) and letting Nelson hold the reins.

The football gods seem to be playing a very cruel game with Utah State. With the exception of a few ticks on the clock and the ball bouncing the other team's way (Auburn's on-side kick, BYU's last second deflected pass) they would be 4 - 0. I doubt any other team in the nation has more butterflies in the 4th quarter than the Aggies.
