.458 -- Memphis' winning percentage under the direction of Tommy West at the time of his firing on Monday after nine seasons with the Tigers (49-58).
.488 -- Western Kentucky's winning percentage in the seven seasons David Elson has served as head coach before being fired on Sunday (39-41).
.593 -- Charlie Weis' winning percentage in his fifth season at the helm of Notre Dame (35-24).
2 -- Assists USC has given to Stanford. A week after both of the Trojans' losses this season, the Cardinal have brought the conquerors back down to Earth. Last weekend it was Oregon getting roughed up by Stanford, 51-42, in Palo Alto. On Sept. 26, Washington fell hard on The Farm, 34-14. On Saturday, the Trojans and Cardinal go head-to-head at the Coliseum, where Stanford did some big-time upsetting of its own in its last visit.
3 -- Missed extra points by Clemson in its 40-24 victory over Florida State.
4 -- Failed fourth-down conversions by Georgia Tech in four attempts against Wake Forest, before Yellow Jacket head coach Paul Johnson made the gutsy decision to go for it on fourth-and-one at the Demon Deacon five-yard line, trailing by three points in the first overtime period. Georgia Tech quarterback Josh Nesbitt picked up two yards for the first down and scored on the ensuing play to wrap up the 30-27 victory.
6 -- Spots in the USA Today Coaches' Poll that No. 16 Oregon trails No. 10 USC by. If you remember correctly -- and I guess some coaches don't -- the Ducks brutalized the Trojans by 27 points, just two weeks ago. Pete Carroll remembers. The BCS Standings and AP Top 25 also got those Pac-10 teams mixed up, but only by four and three spots, respectively (No. 9 USC, No. 13 Oregon; No. 11 USC, No. 14 Oregon).
7 -- First downs by Nebraska in its 10-3 victory over Oklahoma. If you told us before the season that a team could beat the Sooners while getting only seven first downs and going 1-for-14 on third down we'd have suggested that you reserve a room in the loony bin next to Lou Holtz.
8 -- Games involved in Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount's "season-long" suspension.
12 -- Weeks Oklahoma had been unranked in the AP Top 25 during this decade, prior to dropping out of the rankings this week. That entire previous unranked span occurred during the 2005 regular season. Before dropping to 5-4, following its loss at Nebraska last weekend, the Sooners had spent 59 consecutive weeks ranked in the AP poll.
13 -- Total points that Wake Forest has lost five of its six games by.
18 -- Consecutive non-conference victories by Kentucky, which beat Eastern Kentucky, 37-12, last Saturday. The win streak represents a new school record for the Wildcats, breaking the old mark of 17 established in 1960. It's also the second longest active FBS streak behind LSU's 22 straight non-league wins and just ahead of Texas' streak of 17, which the Longhorns extended last weekend with a 35-3 victory over UCF.
27 -- Years since Pittsburgh has been 8-1. Dan Marino was a Panther senior back then.
28 -- Victories by USC in the month of November during Pete Carroll era.
34 -- Length of Houston kicker Matt Hogan's longest career field goal before booting a 51-yarder last Saturday to lift the Cougars to a 46-45 victory as time expired.
41 -- Maryland's streak of games without scoring a defensive touchdown, which was snapped by Alex Wujciak's 70-yard interception return for a touchdown in last weekend's 38-31 loss at N.C. State. The Terrapins' defensive scoring drought had been the longest in the country.
42 -- Career victories by Texas quarterback Colt McCoy if the Longhorns beat Baylor on Saturday, which would tie the all-time record established by Georgia's David Greene in 2004.
68 -- Combined points scored by Illinois in its first six games against FBS foes this season. That's five points less than they've scored in their last two games . . . back-to-back victories over Michigan (38-13) and Minnesota (35-32).
73 -- Years since an unranked Navy team beat a ranked Notre Dame squad (1936). The Midshipmen's 23-21 victory also marked the first time since 1963 that they notched consecutive wins in South Bend. Navy beat Notre Dame, 46-44, in triple overtime in 2007, snapping a 43-game losing streak to the Fighting Irish.
74 -- Combined margin of defeat for Wyoming in its current three-game slide, which includes two shutout losses. All this came on the heels of a promising three-game winning streak.
137 -- Points scored by Middle Tennessee State in its current three-game winning streak, which has the Blue Raiders setup for the second bowl game in school history.
233 -- Rushing yards by Stanford running back Toby Gerhart in the Cardinal's 51-42 upset of Oregon last weekend. Gerhart's production, which included three touchdowns on the ground, wasn't necessarily surprising since he's an elite collegiate performer. What was surprising is the fact that Gerhart's rushing total established a new single-game school record.
273 -- Receiving yards by Texas wide receiver Jordan Shipley, who was at the other end of 11 of Colt McCoy's 33 completions against UCF. McCoy threw for 470 yards, establishing a new career-high and falling three yards shy of Major Applewhite's school record. Shipley's receiving yardage did establish a new Texas single-game record.
494 -- Yards of total offense gained by Purdue in its 38-36 victory at Michigan last Saturday. Shockingly it comes a week after the Boilermakers generated just 141 total yards in a 37-0 loss at Wisconsin.
1,081 -- Total passing yards by Houston quarterback Case Keenum in just his last two games. He leads the nation in total offense, averaging 434 yards per game. That's a whopping 109 yards per game better than Bowling Green quarterback Tyler Sheehan, who is in second-place.
2001 -- The last year Stanford was ranked in the AP Top 25, until the Cardinal showed up at No. 25 this week, following its impressive upset of Oregon. That was also the last year that Stanford participated in a bowl game.
8,056 -- Career passing yards by Oklahoma State quarterback Zac Robinson, which represents a new school record. The previous record holder was on hand to see his mark surpassed during the Cowboys' 34-8 victory at Iowa State last Saturday. The name of that 42-year-old man is Mike Gundy.
HOOK 'EM HORNS! Go Colt! Another record to smash and still not getting the Heisman respect he deserves.
