Football just keeps getting better as tough teams go down.

What a weekend for football upsets. First who saw the Illinois defeat of the Wisconsin Badgers coming? This definitely will have significant repercussions on Big Ten standings. Right now Ohio State is leading the Big Ten with a perfect season so far and Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, and Wisconsin are all 5-0. Michigan, Penn State, and Michigan State University are all trailing behind with 4 wins and 2 losses each. And rearing up the Big Ten conference is Minnesota with 2 wins and 4 losses. I’m sure now one credible really predicted Michigan to have 2 losses so far so early in the season but upsets in sports is what makes the games worth watching right?

College football weren’t the only ones to see action this weekend. The NFL got its fair share Sunday night as well. Bears had a great weekend thanks to the Packers. All bets were against them as they matched up against arch rivals, the Green Bay Packers. The first half was just as everyone imagined. Packers score a touchdown within 6 minutes of the game and in the first rush. The Packers had the ball for a whopping 341 yards in the first half alone but after second quarter ended Bears were within 10 points. This was all thanks to Charles Tillman of course who forced two fumbles on Sunday. Green Bay probably would have put points on the board in both cases. The second half of the game, the Bears fought their way back and lowered Brett Favre’s confidence just a little. A few good passes on behalf of Brian Griese also helped the Bears out. It was definitely a change for Bears fans to not have a quarterback to complain about after the game.

Other highlights from this weekend include Notre Dame’s defeat of UCLA which marks the Irish first win of the season. And of course, former champs, USC falling to Stanford. I guess all this is looking good to the still strong, Ohio State Buckeyes right now. All this is good television as far as I’m concerned. I, for one, am very excited to see some strong teams go down and to see all the surprising upsets take place. Keep ‘em coming.
