The Miami Heat held a 22 point lead in the second quarter of last night’s home game against the Utah Jazz. They led by 19 points at halftime and seemingly had everything going in their favor. LeBron James recorded his first triple-double in a Miami uniform, Dwyane Wade dropped in a season high 39 points [...]
The tenth week ended the dreams of a repeat national title in Tuscaloosa, bolstered the hopes of the two remaining potential BCS Busters of getting more respect than they were afforded in 2009, and gave two big-time programs who have lasted in the shadow of conference foes for the better part of the past [...]

Week 9 yielded more upsets – several teams at the top put on dominant performances, but not every team could avoid a defeat.
