National Roundup

Not a lot of great match-ups this weekend but a few games delivered some drama. Notes from the weekend.

*Clemson and Georgia staged a classic heavyweight bout that went down to the wire with...Georgia losing. Going into to the game, Georgia QB Aaron Murray was 3-11 versus teams finishing in the Top 25. With two turnovers Saturday, Murray again hurt his team.

*The Big 12 went 2-2 versus FCS schools. Yikes.

*The Big 10 went 10-2 this weekend with an average margin of victory of 22.5 in those wins. But the two loses tell me more about the conference. Iowa lost to Northern Illinois and Purdue was blown out by Cincinnati. Best win of the weekend - Penn State by 6 over Syracuse?

*Alabama is still very good. But they have some issues on that offensive line. McCarron was 10 for 23 for 110 yards with one TD and 1 Int. I moved them to second in the Super 7 until I see more from the offense.

*The American Athletic Conference (formerly Big East) flat out stinks. 4-5 record this weekend with 2 of the loses to FCS teams by a combined 47 points.

*USC did not look good at Hawaii. Lame Kiffin better start working on that resume.
