RUN FOR NUMBER ONE This past week turned out to be rather exciting in college football. The game with the strongest influ ence in the polls was the Nebraska vs. Colorado game. These two undefeated teams met in Nebraska to shoot out for a chance at the national championship. While Nebraska was favored going into the game, there was perceived to be a strong possibility for an upset. Nebraska's defense and potent offense were assembled, while Colorado's explosive running game, with their good passing attack acted as if they did not even need to show up. This game went down as just another victory for Nebraska. In the ACC game ofthe week, Duke had their hands full with a potent Bowden styled offense. Florida State handily beat the only undefeated team in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Florida State, hoping for another voting miracle in the polls, is attempting to prove that by beating obviously lesser teams by a large margin, they should be given the national champion ship over teams like Auburn (no bias at all). The Florida Gators slaughtered Georgia proving that the old rivalry is no more spectacular than watch ing the Dolphins play the Bucs. Steve Spurrier is hoping to avoid any more controversy until they destroy the Seminoles in Tallahassee, and his sched ule will allow that.
