#9 Cal vs. #16 UCLA

Iowa vs. Purdue - 2 of the last 3 years has been decided by 7 points or less.

#14 Wisconsin vs. Northwestern - Northwestern has upset the Badgers in 2 of the last 3 years.

Minnesota vs. #24 Michigan - Always a decent game plus playing for the Little Brown Jug, oldest rivalry trophy in college football.

It was a heart-breaking loss for all Nebraska fans yesterday. Stupid D-lineman didn't just drop down after the interception with only :50 seconds left! Oh well, they almost beat the #15 team in the country...that's a huge improvement over last year, but a win would have been even better.

I hope the Baylor Bears will continue to do well against your Cornhuskers when they come to Waco this Saturday. Yes, that is quite an understatement. I will be out of town though. :cry:

Brent, congrats on your first road win in the history of the Big 12, 1-37. Plus it came against Iowa State so it adds to my humor in all of it.

Last conference win on the road for Baylor was against SMU in 1995 in the old Southwest Conference days.

I don't even want to talk about this weekend...as far as I'm concerned it never happened...

It will be interesting to see how Michigan does against Penn State next weekend. The only thing consistent about Michigan's team this year is their inconsistency. :?

Glad to see UCLA win against Cal. Our friend who was at the game said it was INTENSE!!

Maurice Drew is a stud! 260+ all-purpose yards, 5 TD (3 rushing, 1 receiving, 1 return).

Dare I say the best back in southern California?! :wink:

Terrell Sutton for Northwestern was a stud as well. Any idea what his stats were? Everytime I put on the NU/Wisconsin game, it seemed like he was scoring a touchdown.

UCLA over Cal was the best games of the weekend by far. seeing Drew run all over those bears with less than 4 minutes remaining was awesome.
peace.

I have seen USC a lot more than I have UCLA in the past couple years since USC was on national TV a lot more so I have seen Bush and White more than I have Drew.

Based on my initial look:

1) Bush
2) Drew
3) White

I would take Bush in a second although I am very intriqued by Drew, especially after last week. Bush, along with White, are gifted RBs but they also have a better supporting cast than Drew does.

If Drew keeps up his play over the next couple weeks, he might slip past Bush although who knows, Bush is a stud.

Hell, I would take any of those three RBs.
