Pittsburgh Tix Yahoo Calendar

UNC and Pitt are on a roll. both are 6-1. someone has to lose.
N. Carolina 26 - 19 (23)

Syracuse @ (17)
Florida St. Tix Yahoo Calendar
WINNER: FSU
Jimbo took one on the chin last week. he CANNOT afford to drop one at home against Syralose.
Syracuse 21 - 45 (17)
Florida St. Final
Jimbo had to use his backup QB and rolls. Holding out Golston is right for the kid .. and the biggie coming up with Clemson.

Mississippi @ Auburn Tix Yahoo Calendar
WINNER: Ole Miss
Ole Miss must beat Aubie to stay in the SEC race. Aubie on the other hand has not looked impressive even while winning.
(19)
Mississippi 27 - 19 Auburn Final
Ole Miss stays in the game. Aubie wonders what happened to their season.

Georgia @ (11)
Florida Tix Yahoo Calendar
WINNER: UF
if UF wants to return to the elite, they need to make the Swamp the Swamp .. again.
Georgia 3 - 27 (11)

UF gets it done. losing their QB to a dumb PED suspension didn't cost them today but it probably will later this year.

Michigan @ Minnesota Tix Yahoo Calendar
WINNER: UMich
going ALL IN with the Harbaugh effect. just beware Jimmy, Gophers might come out jacked at home after Kill's retirement.
(15)
Michigan 29 - 26 Minnesota Final
Another wild ending. at first blush i don't agree with Gophers call to go for the win but on second thought given the situation it was probably the right call.
