Neill Woelk, Boulder Daily Camera: Five years ago, Colorado suffered what was believed to be the most embarrassing loss in team history when Texas destroyed the Buffs, 70-3, in the Big 12 championship game. But five years later, there's a new candidate for that ignominious place in Buff annals.
Mark Kiszla, Denver Post: It's time for Colorado to bring back Bill McCartney as coach.
Kevin Scarbinsky, Birmingham News: The only prizes left for Alabama are consolation prizes.
Tom Shatel, Omaha World-Herald: Here's how Nebraska left Iowa State's Jack Trice Stadium for the last time: by running. The Huskers ran like they stole something. And maybe they did.

David Teel, Newport News Daily Press: It's one step forward, two steps back in Mike London's first season as Virginia coach.
Bud Poliquin, Syracuse Post-Standard: Maybe Syracuse's 6-2 start, crafted against the 166th most difficult Division I/I-AA schedule in the land, was a bit of a mirage.
Mark Tupper, Decatur Herald-Review: Until Saturday, the defense kept Illinois in every game. Then in a colossal collapse that was stunning in its wire-to-wire scope, the defense was shredded like twigs dropped into a wood chipper.
Greg Stoda, Palm Beach Post: Stephen Morris should remain as Miami's quarterback even after Jacory Harris returns.
