What was billed as the biggest weekend of the college football season didn't disappoint.

Some streaks continued while others ended, Byron Leftwich had one of the best halves ever for a quarterback, and we saw more overtime heroics and one of the wackiest finishes ever.

It was hard to pick the best moments and games from an outstanding weekend of action, but here's what I came up with.

Games of the Day

	Ken Dorsey is now 32-1 as a starter at Miami, including 28 straight wins.

Miami over Florida State, 28-27: The Hurricanes staged a big rally and escaped after "wide right" was replaced by "wide left". Bobby Bowden continued his string of hard-luck losses against Miami, falling to 0-10 against the 'Canes in games decided by eight points or less.

Michigan over Penn State, 27-24 in OT: After a slow start, the Nittany Lions and Wolverines played one of the best games the Big Ten has seen in a while. The teams were tied 7-7 after 42 minutes but combined for 28 points and three lead changes from that point on, capped by Chris Perry's game-winning touchdown run in the first overtime.

Oklahoma over Texas, 35-24: The Longhorns took a 17-11 lead in the third quarter by converting three Nate Hybl interceptions into scores, but the Sooners came back with the next 24 points to put Texas away.

Coaches of the Day
Mike Kelly, Dayton: With the Flyers' 52-3 win over Pioneer Conference foe Valparaiso, Kelly got his 200th career win in just his 242nd career game. That is the second-fastest run to 200 in history, trailing only Florida A&M's Jake Gaither, who needed just 240 games.

Larry Coker, Miami: This game marked the first time in his brief career that Coker's team trailed at halftime, but 14 fourth-quarter points saved the day and gave him his 18th win in as many games with the 'Canes.

Bob Stoops, Oklahoma: Stoops also brought his team back from a halftime deficit against a bitter rival (the first time the Sooners trailed at the half since the 1999 Independence Bowl), and he and his staff came up with a game plan that shredded the Texas defense for 266 yards rushing.

Upset Specials
Temple over Syracuse, 17-16: The Owls won their first game against a Division I opponent this year by scoring 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter.

Indiana over Wisconsin, 32-29: Gibran Hamdan threw three touchdown passes in the final 16 minutes as the Hoosiers beat the Badgers in Bloomington for the first time since 1992.

Arkansas over Auburn, 38-21: Houston Nutt's team bounced back from a six-overtime loss to Tennessee with 426 yards rushing against the team many picked to win the SEC West. Fred Talley had 241 yards by himself, the most ever allowed to a single back by Auburn.

Illinois over Purdue: 38-31 in OT: The Illini blew a 24-0 lead and sent the game to overtime with a touchdown run with seven seconds left in regulation, getting their second win of the season and snapping a three-game losing streak thanks to a Dustin Ward-to-Greg Lewis TD pass.

Woodshed games
Marshall over Buffalo, 66-21: Byron Leftwich threw for 447 yards and four TDs in the first half as the Herd rolled up 733 yards of total offense and took a 59-0 lead late into the third quarter.

Ohio State over San Jose State, 50-7: Maurice Clarett ran for three touchdowns and Craig Krenzel threw for three more, thanks in no small part to four fumbles by the Spartans.

Boise State over Tulsa, 52-24: BSU got 208 rushing yards from Brock Forsey and sent the Golden Hurricane to its 16th straight loss.

Ripley's Believe it or Not finish: Appalachian State over Furman, 16-15
Appalachian led 14-9 before Furman drove 73 yards in 10 plays to take a 15-14 lead with seven seconds remaining. The Paladins went for two, realizing that ASU could only tie the score with a last-second field goal if the conversion was successful. Instead, Josh Jeffries intercepted the pass and ran 20 yards with it before pitching the ball back to Derrick Black, who then went 76 yards for the game-winning safety.

Horseshoe game (close but no cigar)
Miami over Florida State, 28-27: The 'Noles rushed for 296 yards and the 'Canes were penalized 14 times for 109 yards, but Xavier Beitia's 43-yard attempt went wide as time expired.

Special teams alerts: Penn State and UCLA
Robbie Gould missed both a field goal and PAT in regulation, either of which might have provided the Nittany Lions with the winning margin in regulation, and was bailed out by a Michigan penalty on a missed kick in overtime. Bruins kicker Chris Griffith missed a potential game-winning field goal that led to a one-point Oregon win for the second straight year.

Teams on the rise: NC State, Washington State, Oklahoma, LSU

Teams on the decline: Wisconsin, Purdue, Auburn, Florida

Turnaround of the week: Ohio University
The Bobcats got a 55-27 win over Eastern Michigan just a week after Bowling Green hung 72 points on them.

Team that got off the snide: Louisiana-Monroe
The Indians got their first win of the season with a 34-14 victory over Idaho.

Games I can't wait to see next week
Iowa State at Oklahoma: The biggest test of the year for the Cyclones, who will be hoping the Sooners have a letdown after the big win against Texas.

Texas at Kansas State: Can the the Longhorns bounce back in a tough road game after the big loss to OU?

Notre Dame at Air Force: The Irish will hope their luck doesn't run out against the Falcons, who are looking to blow up the BCS.

Washington at USC: The loser will be on the outside of the Pac-10 race looking in.

Auburn at Florida: A loss will all but eliminate either team from contention in the SEC.
