Observations on the day in college football:
Any day OU wins and Texas loses is a good day.
What a performance by the Buckeyes of The Ohio State University. They replaced 9 starters on defense, and still dominated Texas tonight. Texas obviously misses Vince Young, a once in a lifetime talent. 30,000 people are going back to Ohio very happy.
It was a night of near misses. 1) Troy almost beat Florida State, as the Seminoles had to score two touchdowns in the last 5 minutes to win. Their winning touchdown was set up by an interception with 2 minutes to go. 2) Air Force lost at Tennessee, when they were stopped on a 2 point conversion with a chance to take the lead. They lost 31-30.
Hats off to New Hampshire. They followed up last year's 1-AA playoff trip with a convincing win today over Northwestern. Northwestern is recovering from the shock of coach Randy Walker's untimely death just before the beginning of summer practice. Nonetheless, it was a big win for New Hampshire.
From the Insult to Injury Department: Last week, Colorado lost to Montana State. Today, Montana State followed that huge win up with a loss to Chadron State, of the Division II Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. The RMAC limits their schools to 28 scholarships, and Chadron State only has 22 football scholarships. This is compared with 63 scholarships for Division 1-AA, and 85 scholarships for Division 1-A. This begs the question, though: Who would win between Colorado and Chadron State? All is not well in Boulder, and not just because the Buffs lost to Colorado State today.
The NFL gets fully cranked up tomorrow. Go Cowboys!

I can't believe that you did not mention the team with the longest winning streak at this point.
I must say that I enjoyed watching THE Ohio State University win tonight.
Can't wait for the cowboys' first loss of the season tomorrow!
I did not realize, but that means TCU has the nation's longest winning streak.
This week is TCU's Super Bowl. If they can beat Tech at home, they have a great chance of making a BCS bowl. This is the first of only two, maybe three losable games all season for them.
