NCAA Top 25 Week 4

Upset of the Week:  While Coach Bowden made his loss the most emotional of the week, it wasn't even an upset for me - I picked Virginia Tech!  No, the biggest upset occurred in Eugene, where the Ducks are bouncing back nicely from their opening embarrassment by bouncing Cal from the Top 25 with an utter dominating performance.  Cal was never in this game, and the score is more reflective of a FBS v FCS matchup than a battle of two Pac-10 rivals.
