6 Oct 2008 at 6:03pm Coach Bo Pelini is telling his players to keep their cool. The Cornhuskers have committed eight personal fouls in five games -- not counting the flag Pelini got for unsportsmanlike conduct against Virginia Tech. "When there is an either-or situation in the heat of the moment, if the situation calls for it, you have to learn to pull off of it and not take the shot. 5 Oct 2008 at 4:13pm Top-ranked Oklahoma was already looking ahead, not even taking time to celebrate another lopsided victory over Baylor. Finally, the much-anticipated annual matchup against Texas is next on the schedule. "Everybody in the locker room is fired up about it and that week is here," coach Bob Stoops said minutes after the Sooners' 49-17 victory at Baylor. 6 Oct 2008 at 5:06pm Arizona State coach Dennis Erickson said he wants to see how quarterback Rudy Carpenter's sprained left ankle responds before deciding whether he'll play at No. 8 USC on Saturday. Carpenter was hurt in the Sun Devils' 24-14 loss at California last weekend. The senior has made 36 straight starts, but that streak could be in jeopardy. 6 Oct 2008 at 3:18pm Already this season, No. 17 Oklahoma State has been able to celebrate its return to the Top 25 and its first undefeated start since Les Miles left for LSU. The opportunity to take the next step and topple a highly ranked team presents itself Saturday when the Cowboys (5-0, 1-0 Big 12) go to No. 3 Missouri. 5 Oct 2008 at 4:49pm David Letterman is going to love this: At No. 25 in the AP college football poll, his alma mater, Ball State. The Cardinals, who have remained unbeaten while losing one of their best players to a career-ending spine injury, are ranked in the Top 25 for the first time. After a week with few upsets, the top of media poll only underwent slight alterations. 5 Oct 2008 at 3:44pm Terrelle Pryor kept a perfect record as a starter. Chris "Beanie" Wells kept things loose. That's all Ohio State (5-1, 2-0 Big Ten) needed to stay at the top of the class in the conference with a 20-17 win over Wisconsin on Saturday night. The Buckeyes moved up to No. 12 in the poll Sunday. "A lot of people have been questioning our mental toughness," Ohio State linebacker James Laurinaitis said. 5 Oct 2008 at 5:31pm The Vanderbilt Commodores returned to the field for a curtain call, to celebrate with their excited and a bit stunned fans, not wanting the moment to end. It's time to believe. These Commodores are rolling back not just the years, but the decades at a school that was a charter member of the mighty Southeastern Conference, but whose best football was played in the first 40 years of the 20th century. 5 Oct 2008 at 7:31pm No. 20 Auburn woke up Sunday morning to several harsh realities. The Tigers lost to Vanderbilt for the first time since 1955, have already dropped two Southeastern Conference games and the offense is showing few signs of breaking out of its struggles. "We're pretty down right now," center Ryan Pugh said Sunday. 5 Oct 2008 at 7:16pm Notre Dame's 4-1 start doesn't measure up to the 27 other seasons in which the Irish had one loss in the first five games. The difference: This time they're unranked. Every other season in which the Fighting Irish were either 4-1 or 3-1-1, they were ranked. The Irish were rated as high as No. 4 in 1942 and 1965, as low as No. 4 Oct 2008 at 7:46pm Alabama discovered how precarious life at the top can be, sidestepping what could have been another top-five upset with a bruising drive and a late field goal. Glen Coffee rushed for 218 yards, Leigh Tiffin kicked a 24-yard field goal with 2:12 left to put the Crimson Tide up 10, and No. 2 Alabama survived and advanced in the national title chase with a 17-14 win over Kentucky on Saturday. |
