#16 Virginia Tech 31, #24 Miami 17... Virginia Tech clinched the ACC Coastal division with this win, and continued their dominance of the Hurricanes. The 'Canes killed themselves, however, more than they were beaten by the Hokies. They had far too many penalties and turnovers, as well as a ton of dropped passes. However, after all that, they still had a chance to win in the 4th when Stephen Morris was picked off in Hokie territory. This Miami team has underachieved all year, and nothing has changed.
#9 Ohio St 20, #20 Iowa 17... The Buckeyes defense played another outstanding game, and somehow Terrelle Pryor was able to lead a game-winning drive in the final minutes. He is a terrible quarterback but somehow keeps winning. Iowa had this game locked up, but the defense again allowed the opponent to beat them in the final minutes, as the Hawkeyes suffered another heartbreak. This puts Ohio St in prime position for an at-large BCS bid, as their final game is against the defensively challenged Michigan Wolverines.
#19 Texas A&M 9, #8 Nebraska 6... This was my kind of football game. Old School, hard-nosed defense was at its finest. Is it safe to say yet that the Wrecking Crew is back?! If they can hold Texas mediocre offense down, I will say that it is time. More importantly, the Aggies, with their 5th straight win, and 2nd in 3 weeks over a top-10 team, stayed somewhat in the hunt for a Big 12 South Title. They need a lot of things to happen, but still, they stayed alive. They need Oklahoma to beat Oklahoma St and somehow jump the Cowboys and get within 1 spot of Oklahoma in the BCS Standings. It is a bigtime long shot considering OSU beat A&M and would be 10-2 to the Aggies 9-3, but still, it is the BCS. Nebraska shot themselves in the foot in this game with penalties, as they had 16 of them for over 140 yards. A&M plays Thursday in Austin against the Horns.
