Illinois: Bob Asmussen's Polling Place Big Ten gets its football comeuppance.
Illinois · Texas · Ohio StateNot just the "Dazed and Confused" actor's beloved Texas Longhorns, who stunned No. As for the best McConaughey movie, a case can be made for "A Time to Kill" and "The Lincoln Lawyer," but "Tropic Thunder" is a gem.
That would be you Ohio State, Oklahoma and Oregon, which all managed to lose on Saturday. The Buckeyes' failure to close the deal at Texas was about bad luck (at least two Texas fumbles bounced back into the Longhorns' hands) and game plan.
Why doesn't every pass go to Jeremiah Smith? The Ducks' loss at Oklahoma State is the most mind-numbing of the three.
The Cowboys dropper their opener to Tulsa and are playing with a new coach and quarterback. Oregon beat Oklahoma State last year by 66 points.
