College Football Update
Color me a little surprised, but the Gamecocks came through on Saturday and did what hasn't been done in over 60 years: they beat Florida 30-22. And what's more, if Georgia suffers a complete collapse and loses it's last two games, USC becomes SEC East champs. Wow.
Of course, as every diehard USC fan knows, it doesn't really matter what you do in your first 10 games (and 7-3 ain't half bad) if you lose the last to Clemson. So fingers crossed for next week.
UMass didn't do so well, losing to Division I-A Army 34-27. Not much to say about this rather ugly game, except — why doesn't Army pick on someone in their own division? The Minutemen slip to 7-3 on the year.
With its 45-7 win over Columbia, Cornell has insured that it won't have a losing season. The Big Red plays Pennsylvania, also 5-4, so there's a good chance Cornell could get six wins this year.
