The largest underdog to win straight up:

Utah (+10, ML +300) at Oregon, 62-20

The largest favorite to cover:

Baylor (-33) vs. Rice, 70-17

Everything went according to plan for everyone in the Top 10.  It almost wasn't the case, as TCU needed late heroics to hold off Texas Tech in a shootout, 55-52.  After TCU managed to win in the closing seconds, that pushed the Top 10 teams to a 9-0 SU record, although they were just 3-6 ATS.  The only Top 10 teams to cover were Baylor (-33 vs. Rice), Notre Dame (-28.5) vs. Massachusetts and UCLA (-1) at Arizona.  One of the most shocking results of the weekend came in Eugene.  What appeared to be one of the better matchups on paper coming in turned into be anything but that.  Utah (+10, ML +300) turned it on in the second quarter, and then ran away with a 28-point third-quarter blitzkreig to stun Oregon and the Pac-12 and serve notice to the rest of the conference that the Utes are for real.

In the state of Michigan, the Wolverines beat No. 22 BYU 31-0.  The game featured an Odell-Beckham-like catch....

....and Deveon Smith teleporting....

In East Lansing, Central Michigan put up a good fight against Michigan State before the No. 2 Spartans pulled away for a 30-10 win. Still, the Chips fired up for their fourth cover in as many tries.

As predicted by 2 of the experts on the Mainstream, Ole Miss had a bit of a hangover, getting all they could handle from a sturdy defensive club from Vanderbilt. Ole Miss had 43 or more points in each of their first three games, all covers and overs, but the Rebs managed just 27 points and never threatened to cover the 27-point number.

Tennessee bettors were stunned when Florida struck for a 63-yard touchdown pass with just 1:26 remaining in regulation to give the Gators their 11th straight win over the Volunteers. 'Under' (50.5) bettors were also crushed on the very same play, as the game finished with 55 points.

And finally, we have Texas' special teams doing Texas' special teams things...
