Christian Petersen/Getty ImagesWeek 3 is over and we saw some surprises. A bit of a let down on big time games compared to last weekend but were getting a better idea now of contenders now. Herea recap of how our top 25 did this weekend:1. Alabama at Duke 62-13 Mark Ingram debuted with 100 yards in the first quarter. Domination. 2. Ohio State beat Ohio 43-7 The Buckeyes won the battle of Ohio easily. They look to be the class of the Big Ten and should be in the BCS. 3. Boise State won at Wyoming 51-6 Boise sent a statement with thisReebok Pittsburgh Steelers James Harrison Realtree camo Jersey
destruction. 4. Iowa lost at 25. Arizona 34-27 Huge win for Mike Stoops squad. Iowa just gave the game away early and tried to rally in the second half but Arizona held on for the W. Nick Foles had a huge game going for over 300 yards. 5. Texas won at Texas Tech 24-14 Both teams were trading turnovers but the Longhorns put together a drive in the fourth to seal the game. 6. TCU beat Baylor 45-10 TCU just blew out Baylor leading 35-3 at the half. If the Horned Frogs go undefeated they will be in the discussion for the BCS Title. 7. Oklahoma beat. 22. Air Force 27-24 Oklahoma struggled stopping the Falcons offense. A nice showing for the Falcons on the road. 8. Oregon beat Portland State 69-0 Nearly picked this exact score but was 3 points shy. Oregonoffense has been a force so far this season. 9. Florida at Tennessee 31-17 Tennessee hung in this one until the fourth and then the Gators pulled away. 10. Miami Idle 11. Nebraska at Washington 56-21 Taylor Martinez easily passed his first road test at the rocking Husky Stadium. This was a big win for the Huskers. 12. Wisconsin beat Arizona State 20-19 ASU hung in this one but got an extra point blocked that cost them the game. Wisconsin better get better soon because theyre in for some trouble when Big Ten plays starts. 13. Auburn beat Clemson 27-24 Clemson got the early lead but Auburn rallied in the second half. It then went to OT where Clemson missed a tying FG after getting a penalty that back them up. 14. Arkansas won at Georgia 31-24 Georgia came back from 14 down in the fourth quarter but Arkansas got the ball with under a minute left and Ryan Mallett led a drive for a TD in the final seconds. Mark Richt will feel the heat this week even though hehad to start the season without his best player, A.J. Green. 15. Utah won at New Mexico 56-14 Utah is very good. Theresome great games coming up later this year in the MWC when they hook up with TCU and Air Force. 16. Oregon St. beat Louisville 35-28 The Beavers couldnput away the Cardinals. They might have been looking forward to the Boise State game next week. 17. LSU beat Mississippi State 29-7 A strong showing by LSU in holding down a team rising to rise up this year in the SEC. 18.

Idle 19. West Virginia beat Maryland 31-17 Maryland tried to get back in this game in the second half after trailing 21-0 at the half but West Virginia held him off. 20. Michigan beat Massachusetts 42-37 Michigan defense has to improve a great deal when Big Ten play begin. Greg Robinson needs to go as defensive coordinator or it may cost Rich Rod his job. 21. South Carolina beat Furman 38-19 South Carolina was never in trouble against this FCS team. 23. Stanford vs. Wake Forest 68-24 68 points?! Thata long trip home for Wake after being embarrassed in this one. Another ugly result for the ACC. 24. Penn State beat Kent State 24-0 I thought Kent State would be a little more competitive than this but PSU showed theyve got a strong D. In non-top 25 action:#8232; Nevada controlled California on Friday night winning 52-31. Cal challenged them at times but Nevada would hit the gas pedal when Cal got close and left the Bears in their dust despite a great effort by Cal Shane Vereen. KU has to have doubts about Turner Gill. They lose to a FCS team in week 1 scoring only 3 points. Rebound to beat a ranked Georgia Tech team and then fell flat looking very unimpressive at Southern Miss. I think Auburn is pretty glad they chose Gene Chizik instead of Gill right now. The Big East again takes a blow as UConn loses by 14 at Temple. If Temple ends up winning the MAC this game wonlook as bad as it does now, but the Big East has looked awful so far this season. UCLA played great after Rick Neuheisel said they would this week. Thata big win for him over a ranked Houston team. Im not sure what went on at halftime in the Virginia Tech lockrroom but it worked. Frank BeamerHokes scored 28 unanswered points to pull away from East Carolina. And finally Ive got to applaud Michigan State for executing a fake field goal in OT trailing by 31-28 to Notre Dame. Thatgutsy and I like it. Nice call Mark Dantonio. The new Macho Rhino Top 25 is out for week 4! Now for the Macho Rhino Weekly Reebok Washington Redskins #98 ORAKPO Realtree camo Jersey
