Eliminations

Oregon St. found out it's not good enough to just rev it up once a year. A week after shocking No. 1 USC, the Beavers lost 31-28 to another unbeaten team, Utah. The Utes scored 11 points in the final few minutes to pull out the win and stay in the Alive and Kicking bracket.

Louisiana Tech lost to Boise St. on Wednesday night and dropped down to Dead and Buried, not they weren't anyway. Tech couldn't handle the blue turf, falling 38-3 to the undefeated Broncos.

South Florida dropped from Perfect Health to Alive and Kicking with a 26-21 loss to Pittsbugh on Thursday night. The banged up Bulls defense couldn't keep up with Shady McCoy, allowing the Stache to get one of his biggest wins at Pitt. The Panthers are also in Alive and Kicking with their only loss coming at home to Bowling Green. That will haunt Pitt if they are able to put together a run here, which is unlikely, yes, but not out of the question in the Big East.

BYU looks to stay in the second bracket Friday night vs. Utah St., while Cincinatti looks to do the same against Marshall.
