College Football Wrap-up

Didn't have time to post these scores over the weekend, so here are last weekend's rather dismal results. Bad news for USC — the Gamecocks got their head handed to them by Florida, 54-17. The Cocks are 7-3, and can still turn this into a "great" season by beating Clemson next week. And they'll definitely land in a bowl game. Cornell also lost that winning feeling, losing to Columbia 35-28. The Big Red is now 2-6. And UMass gives us the hat trick by getting blown out by Maine 37-7. The Minutemen now stand at 2-7.
