AFTER THOUGHTS Stanford Tigers?: This is how great Tiger Woods is: Woods sits on the sidelines and cheers for Stanford and the Cardinal -- although we hear Nike is negotiating the rights to change the name of Woods' alma mater -- bounce back from a loss to San Jose State to beat No. 7 Texas. With a backup quarterback. On a last minute drive. Over a team that waxed them 69-17 last season. Everything Tiger touches wins. Gators bite Vols -- again:Consider it just another stick of TNT in an already explosive rivalry. Jabar Gaffney's catch/no-catch in the front of the endzone gave No. 4 Florida a 27-23 win over No. 9 Tennessee despite the fact the Vols dominated the game. "No question, God was smiling on us because the other team outplayed us. And somehow we got more points," said Florida coach Steve Spurrier. While Gaffney was positive he had the ball long enough for the score -- and the referee obviously agreed -- replays showed the ball popped out early and it appeared that Gaffney never had complete control. Vol cornerback Willie Miles was certain line judge Al Matthews would rethink his decision. "I saw the ball fall," he said. "I'm not a ref. What I think doesn't matter. The Gators won but the world knows about the last play. I thought they were going to overrule. I don't think they were sure." One thing that is for sure -- the Gators continue their mastery over the Vols, winning seven of the last eight games. Pac-10 Power: It's official -- the Pac-10 is back. After UCLA knocked off its second No. 3 team with its win over Michigan Saturday coupled with Washington's and USC's fast start, this year's Rose Bowl might actually be a game. "I think we proved we were the No. 1 team in the nation. I don't know who else we can beat, or what else we can do, " said UCLA QB Ryan McCann after No. 17 UCLA beat No. 3 Michigan 23-20, marking the second time in three games that the Bruins have defeated the No. 3 team in the nation. Whoa, slow down there, Sparky. But the Bruins certainly will leap into the top-10, possibly the top-five with their showing. And this also makes for a fun Pac-10 schedule as UCLA plays both Washington and USC later in the year.

Notre Dame's Godsey, a converted tight end, makes his first start at quarterback for arguably the most famous college football team in the country against No. 12 Purdue on national television and not only does he guide the Irish to a much needed victory, he does it in Joe Montana style. Godsey took Notre Dame down the field on a last minute drive that set up the game winning field goal. And it wasn't just a hand the ball off, no pressure drive. It was Godsey completing passes to keep the chains moving. "I don't think he was rattled in that situation," said Irish coach Bob Davie. No kidding. And, get this, he completed more passes (14) than Purdue Heisman Trophy favorite Drew Brees (13) and even one more than starter Arnaz Battle completed in his first two games before breaking his wrist against Nebraska last week. "I did? Wow. Sweet," Godsey said. From the start to the final quote, guys like Godsey are what make college football great. Getting his kicks How good is Cal punter Nick Harris? The Bears featured his picture on the cover of their schedules and now Illinois fans know why. Harris had the good people of Champaign in awe with a brilliant display of punting Saturday. Harris dropped five punts inside the Illinois 10 and five more inside the 20. The crowd buzzed every time he stepped on the field. If this were baseball, Harris would have been Mark McGwire in a home run derby. If it were basketball, he'd be Michael Jordan in a dunk contest. He was that good. "I kept thinking this guy's got to be kidding me," said Illinois QB Kurt Kittner. "He kicks one to the 2-yard line and it bounces -- to the 1." While the NCAA doesn't keep stats on punters, it was without a doubt one of the best displays of toe meeting leather. "Nick probably had the best game I've ever seen a punter have," said Cal coach Tom Holmoe said. "With Nick, we can punt the ball from anywhere on the field." Sticking the landing In true Olympic spirit, Virginia Tech's Michael Vick did a little tumbling in the Hokies' win over Rutgers. Vick ran around the right end and dove from right inside the five yard line and did a perfect flip as he scored the touchdown. Of course, the coaches weren't exactly giving Vick a standing O. "I got it when I went to the sidelines," Vick said of a tongue-lashing from assistant head coach Billy Hite, "but I knew I was going to get a perfect landing. I knew how I wanted to land. I just rolled into it." NUMBERS GAME Cos DeMatteo's six touchdown performance broke an NCAA Division I-AA record held by five players, including Jerry Rice. Rice, who now owns most every receiving record in the NFL, did this twice at Mississippi Valley State. Georgia Southern's Adrian Peterson, who rushed for 145 yards and two touchdowns in Georgia Southern's 24-17 win over Wofford, topped the 100-yard rushing mark for the 33rd consecutive game. No. 7 Kansas State scored 11 touchdowns on its way to breaking a 90-year-old record with a 76-0 victory over Ball State. The Wildcats' previous record was set in 1910 in a 75-0 victory over Drury. With N.C. State's 41-0 victory over Southern Methodist, Wolfpack coach Chuck Amato became the first N.C. State coach to win his first three games since Harry Hartsell in 1917. Ole Miss' Deuce McAllister rushed for 143 yards on 17 carries and set a school record with his 11th career 100-yard rushing game as Mississippi beat Vanderbilt 12-7. McAllister broke the career 100-yard mark held by Dou Innocent.
