Non-BCS Tracker, Week 4

Moral Victories:
Nevada within 10 this time against Missouri.
Fresno State holding Cincinnati (or any I-A school) to less than 30 points. They played tougher at Cincy than Oregon State did last week at home against Cincy.
Southern Miss taking Kansas to the wire, before dropping a good game 35-28.
UTEP scoring on Texas.
Ohio playing Tennessee pretty close for most of the game before dropping it 34-23.
Ball State dropping 30 on an SEC defense.
Tulane, San Jose State, and Utah State getting their first wins of the season, at the expense of 3 I-AA teams, but you have to take your wins where you can get them.

Actual Victories:
TCU outshining Clemson in ACC country. This included stopping Clemson on two drives in the final 3 minutes, including a stop in the red zone.
Utah making Louisville pay for their mistakes and taking the game by 16, 30-14.
Houston taking advantage of Texas Tech's horrid defense to pull out another Big 12 victory, 29-28.

You Can't Do Thats:
UTEP giving up 47 points in the first half to Texas.
Tulane gave up 32 points to a I-AA team.
Ball State giving up 54 to an SEC offense.
Utah State giving up 34 to SUU. Alright enough of the teams that made it in You Can't Do Thats and Moral Victories...
Army lost by 3 TDs against Iowa State.
UAB losing by 37 to A&M. Not that A&M is bad or UAB is good (in any way), but that's A&M's biggest victory in 4 years...
Rice starting the season 0-4, when they were expected to compete with Houston in C-USA. This time a 19-point loss to Vanderbilt, at home, was the culprit. At least it was tied at half time.
