Duke continued their hot streak with a 28-17 win at Virginia. Miami scored a late touchdown to pull out 28-27 victory at Wake Forest. And BC beat Central Michigan 31-10 at home. Georgia Tech went on the road to Nashville and smoked Vanderbilt 56-31. And Thursday night, North Carolina knocked off Virginia Tech 20-17 in Blacksburg.
Florida showed why they are the top ranked team with a 41-17 thumping of Georgia, whom happened to be decked out with black helmets and pants. Auburn pulled a small shocker with a 33-20 home win over Ole Miss. Mississippi State pulled a 31-24 upset over Kentucky in Lexington. Arkansas romped over eastern Michigan 63-27.

Decked out in black jerseys, Tennessee took three South Carolina fumbles and turned them into touchdowns as the Volunteers beat the Gamecocks 31-13 Saturday night.
Jonathan Crompton threw two touchdowns, Montario Hardesty ran for two more and Rico McCoy forced two fumbles as coach Lane Kiffin grabbed his first win over a ranked opponent.
After warming up in their traditional orange home jerseys, the Vols took the field in Halloween-inspired uniforms.
South Carolina (6-3, 3-3) fumbled on its first two drives on a rainy night, having entered the game with only five for the season.
