The biggest upset on Saturday came in the Red River Rivalry Shootout at the Cotton Bowl as Texas (+15) upended Oklahoma to save the job of Charlie Strong for now.

In less fortunate news, it sounds like Bevo is on his deathbed.  Nice to see the players rally for Bevo.  #prayforbevo

In the state of Michigan, the Wolverines blanked Northwestern 38-0 after the Wildcats had allowed a total of 35 points through their first five games.  Michigan has now posted three straight shutouts.  MSU beat Rutgers by 7.  Some thought the Scarlet Knights might have a chance at the end of the game on a 4th down hail mary, but their QB spiked the ball instead.

An interesting strategy.

Notre Dame rebounded with a 41-24 win against Navy to move to 4-0 SU/ATS in South Bend. The Irish have also covered four straight games since their only non-cover of the season at Virginia back on Sept. 12. The Irish will host USC next Saturday.

Wake Forest snuck past Boston College 3-0 in Chestnut Hill, as the Under is a perfect 5-for-5 for the Eagles.

In Bad Beats this week....

Anyone who had the 'over' in Baylor-Kansas (76.5) felt like they were in great shape with the Bears ahead 66-7 after three quarters. But a sure over turned into a losing ticket with a scoreless quarter.  Through five games Baylor has played the 117th, 121st, 123rd, and 124th best defenses out of 128 FBS teams, and an FCS school.

If you had the 'under' (71) in Washington State-Oregon, you hated Washington State's game-tying touchdown with :01 left in regulation to force overtime, 31-31. Still the game could have still ended favorably, but the two teams exchanged touchdowns in the first overtime to push the total over. It was a rough beating in the late-night game.
