Michigan was defeated again, this time by Oregon. Oregon? One of the also-rans in the Pac Ten?
Meanwhile, Hawai'i rival (and 22-ranked) Boise State was beaten by the Washington Huskies, ending its 14-game winning streak. Hawai'i, meanwhile, is tied 14-14 with Louisiana Tech with 7 minutes left in the first half.
Maybe it's time the national sports media stopped focusing on the Big Ten and the Southeastern Conference and recognized that other teams play pretty good football. I realize that's like asking ESPN to recognize that there are other baseball teams besides the Red Sox and Yankees, but I can dream, can't I?
Update: Hawai'i knocked down a 2-point conversion attempt in overtime to win, 45-44. The oddsmakers had UH winning by 28 points.
