Again, not much to report. Home upsets of Louisville (by Drexel) and Tennessee (by Oakland) were unexpectedly entertaining, but had little effect on the Wildcats' prospects (other than removing a challenger for No. 6 next week).
The only game involving our opponents was North Florida at Texas, through which the Longhorns cruised with a somewhat languid effort en route to a 22-point victory. Can't really take anything away from that other than that Texas is pretty good at home and North Florida is no Oakland.
