Syracuse and Rutgers lose big versus non-conference opponents. South Florida with a nice win over Kansas.

Big 10:

Ohio State gets crushed in the biggest game of the weekend. Michigan looks horrible versus a mediocre Notre Dame team. Wisconsin win by 3 over a very good Fresno State. Penn State crushed another team, but have yet to play any one good (Won't this week either - Temple).

Pac 10:

USC looked great in its win over the Buckeyes. The Ducks beat Purdue in 2OTs. Other than that, pretty bad for the PAC 10 this week. UCLA gets romped on 59-0 by BYU. Cal, Washington State, Washington, Stanford, Arizona and Arizona State all lose non-conference games.
