NO. 3 Alabama 35, No. 20 Wisconsin: You've seen this game before. Alabama ran all over somebody, looked mean on defense, and broke in a new quarterback who did fine. If you need a visual, just watch Cam Robinson plowing a Badger all the way off the field. Next. [Recap]
No. 6 Auburn 31, Louisville 24: The Tigers won the afternoon's marquee game, yes, and Will Muschamp's defense looked great for stretches. The thing people will be talking about, though, is UofL coach Bobby Petrino's mystifying decision to waste a timeout toward the end, which allowed Auburn to run the clock almost all the way out. [Recap]
No. 13 UCLA 34, Virginia 16: Five-star freshman QB Josh Rosen lived up to the hype in his debut, and that's no small praise; UVA has a decent defense with talent. "J-Chosen" put up 352 yards and three touchdowns, with no picks. Another breakout: 310-pound Kenny Clark makes the Piesman Trophy candidates list. [Recap]
Texas A&M 38, No. 15 Arizona State 17: The Aggies, favored by three points, exploded in what was barely a neutral-site venue (Houston), led by young talent like receiver Christian Kirk (look at him dazzle!), quarterbacks Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray, and DE Myles Garrett, who almost appeared to be lining up in ASU's backfield at times. [Recap]
Northwestern 16, No. 21 Stanford 6: The first ranked team to lose, the first major upset at the power-conference level, and the latest sign that the David Shaw era for the Cardinal is ... concerning. All in front of not many fans and maybe some geese! (Also, Desmond Howard's national title pick is probably already wrong.) [Recap]
BYU 33, Nebraska 28: HAIL JOSEPH ... CELEBRATE THE HAIL JOSEPH [Recap]
Temple 27, Penn State 10: The Temple Owls put up 10 sacks and beat PSU for the first time since 1941. Former Penn State players are furious, and here's a GIF of a two-man rush beating six PSU blockers. We have a situation. [Recap].
