We had a glorious start to our long football weekend here in the state of Washington. The University of Washington Huskies did a number on previously-ranked #17 University of Southern California Trojans, beating them 17-12. Then the Washington State Cougars came through with a resounding upset of previously-(un)-ranked #27 University of Oregon Ducks 45-38 (Oregon was not ranked in the Top 25, but would have ranked #27 had it been a Top 30). Both USC and Oregon have dropped out of the Top-25.
The weekend came to a very sad ending with the NFL Seattle Seahawks blowing a 17 point lead to the Cincinnati Bengals in O/T 24-27.
