Plus, Steve gives a full recap from his experience in Iowa City, specifically the powerful interactions experienced in the Children's Hospital. How GOOD is Keelon Russell and Alabama? Ohio State threw it to 4, which continues to be a good gameplan, as the Buckeys flexed their muscle and showed why they should still be considered one of the most dangerous teams in the nation. Missouri crushed Florida by 28 points for one of the biggest shockers of the day, as Austin Simmons is beginning to look like the quarterback many thought he would be. Minnesota got it done at home over Michigan for the first time in nearly 50 years, as the Gophers continue to prove why they're not an easy out. Kentucky remains a pesky team and picked up another huge win in Will Stein's first year as the Cats got it done on the road over South Carolina, pulling off the biggest comeback in UK history. Notre Dame avoided an upset in rainy Chapel Hill, Indiana and Georgia rolled, Nebraska put Maryland away in the 4th after the Terps had a big chance to build a dominant lead earlier in the ball game and USC found a way over Washington. All that and more, including thoughts on Northwestern-Penn State, Texas Tech-Colorado, BYU-TCU, Tennessee-Auburn, Baylor, NC State, Wake Forest, Pitt-Virginia Tech and Houston-UCF.
