Thus killing the dreams of at least one non-BCS upstart. Give the Cougars credit for taking on both Oklahoma and Florida State in the same season, and a year with national title aspirations to boot. That said, welcome to the world of every other major conference program that must deal with several heavyweights each and every year. No need to run to Congress for help after this one.

The Seminoles pulled the upset by taking it to the No. 7 Cougars in their home stadium early and often, surging to leads of 20-7 and 27-14 in the first half before blowing the doors off in the third quarter at one point reaching leads of 44-14 and 54-21 before closing out with the 54-28 victory. BYU is still very much in the BCS picture especially if they can claim the Mountain West crown over TCU and Utah, but their title shot's likely dashed.

The Florida State and Miami football rivalry is back if just for a thrilling Labor Day night after the Hurricanes rallied to a 38-34 victory that went down to the game's very last play. The Hurricanes stymied six Seminole tries from within the 10-yard line, punctuated by an incomplete pass as time expired, to secure victory.

It was simply the best game of a great, sometimes controversial opening weekend of college football. The fourth quarter was a see-saw of excitement, the teams trading leads right to the final minute. The Hurricanes rallied from 31-24 and 34-31 deficits before claiming the final margin thanks to a Graig Cooper touchdown run with just under two minutes left.

Just weeks after withdrawing his verbal commitment from Florida, Greg Reid announced that he will play for Florida State. Knife, meet Florida's back.

Reid made the announcement during a radio show Tuesday night on the eve of national signing day. ... "It felt like it was the right place for me," Reid said.

The highly-touted defensive back cited several reasons why Florida State won out over his other potential college choices -- schools like Alabama, Georgia and, of course, Florida:

Why put off till tomorrow what you can do today? The first major signing day announcement will take place about five hours before the clock turns even over to Feb. 4. Five-star cornerback Greg Reid out of Valdosta, Ga., a guy whose stock has soared in recent weeks, will pick his future school at around 7 PM ET.

Love him or hate him, Reid is nothing short of greatness on the football field. He is considered the rarest of prospects, someone who has the potential to improve a college team's football fortunes from the very moment he arrives on campus.
