If you thought that Oregon St. beating USC was going to be the only upset this weekend, you were mistaken. Ole Miss knocked off #4 Florida today in the Swamp, where the Gators had won 21 of there last 22. Ole Miss quarterback Jevan Sneed tossed two touchdowns and ran for another, but the play of the game was on special teams. After Ole Miss took a late lead, but Flordia's Percy Harvin scored on a 15 yard rush, leaving the Gators just the extra point shy of a tie. But as the PAT went up, Rebles special teamer Kentrell Lockett charged over the Flordia line and blocked the game-tying kick.
Tim Tebow went 24/38 for 319 yards and a touchdown in the loss.

Worst To First: Rays Clinch AL East Title
66-96. This was the record of the last place Tampa Bay Rays in 2007, the laughing stock of the AL.
No one is laughing now.
Though the Rays dropped their game last night to the Tigers, the Red Sox loss to the Yankees clinched Tampa's first AL East championship. "You can't believe it. You have to kind of wait and sit back. It just feels fantastic right now, wonderful" said should-be manager of the year Joe Maddon. It's the first time since 1997 that Boston or New York has not won the division. Tampa had never won more then 70 games in a season, but have accumulated 96 victories thus far. "Unbelievable, it just feels unbelievable" said Rays 1B Carlos Pena.
Unbelievable is definatly the word for the Tampa Bay Rays this season.
