ESPN.com tracks its "Bottom 10" throughout the season and the first list is out. Only one MAC team (Kent State) on the list, which I think is an improvement from last year. But BG and Ball State are on the waiting list.

colorado state is a future UT opponent and got off to a poor start being upset at home by Hawai`i

Miami-LSU will a real interesting one.

Doesn’t look good, hope he will be OK. 2nd WMU player hurt that I have seen since tuning in. It sounds like they were already injury plagued too.

24-7 SU after 1.

After the first quarter Eastern Michigan leads Monmouth 13-0

I haven't been watching much of this one. Has WMU gotten any stops? Seems like SU must have scored on every possession. Or at least it's close to that.

Eastern Michigan defeated Monmouth 51-17

Western Michigan lost to Syracuse 55-42

One other final from Friday - Nevada crushed Portland State 72-19

And in the first quarter, Kent State leads Illinois 7-3

At the half Kent State leads Illinois 17-3

Illinois looks terrible, even for Illinois. Would love to see KSU hold on in the 2nd.

Illinois has tied about Kent at 24 in the 3rd.
Howard leads Ohio 10-0 3:20 left in Q1
