With two flights of games over and done with, it can safely be said that no favored team ranked in the BCS standings is having a particularly good day. Even those precious few programs that weren’t humiliated on the gridiron are probably wishing they had today to do over:
BCS No. 17 Oklahoma State: Outlasted Kansas State in Manhattan, 24-14.
BCS No. 20 South Carolina: Struggled early against an inarguably green and terrible Tennessee team before converting turnovers into a two-touchdown lead, 38-24.
BCS No. 15 Arizona: Sleepwalked through a low-octane win over UCLA, 29-21.BCS No. 5 Michigan State: Blown off the field by No. 18 Iowa, 37-6.
BCS No. 6 Missouri: Embarrassed by No. 14 Nebraska, 31-17, and it wasn’t nearly as close as it looked.
BCS No. 22 Miami: Lost their starting quarterback and burned the redshirt of a freshman QB in Week 9 in a painful would-be comeback loss to Virginia, 24-19.
The specter of a Syracuse-NC State Orange bowl is upon us. Lord have mercy on our souls.
