Tennessee Tech 4-5 Quality wins: None Noteworthy Losses: Southeast Missouri State, Tennessee-Martin, Austin Peay, Murray State
Baylor 7-3 Quality wins: Kansas State 47-42, Texas 30-22 (I guess) Noteworthy Losses: No one terrible yet
Southern Methodist 5-5 Quality wins: None unless you want to count Washington state or Tulane Noteworthy Losses: Any decent team they've played
Colorado State 3-7 Quality wins: Idaho 36-34Noteworthy Losses: Miami(OH) 31-10, San Diego State 49-27
Wyoming 2-8 Quality wins: None Noteworthy Losses: Shorter to list who they've beat, Toledo and Southern Utah

[h1]Newton scandal shows game stays same[/h1]
By Dan Wetzel, Yahoo! Sports Nov 4, 8:41 pm EDT
So the best player on what may be the best team in college football was getting shopped around as a recruit last December for the low, low price of just $180,000.
At least, that was the deal presented to Mississippi State, according to an ESPN.com report Thursday. The Bulldogs were getting a discount for quarterback Cameron Newton because he supposedly liked their coach. The true rate, according to the website, was $200,000. It was set by a recruiting middleman named Kenny Rogers.
Mississippi State didn’t bite. Newton went to Auburn, has become the Heisman Trophy favorite and turned a reeling program into a potential BCS champion. Auburn isn’t commenting other than to assert Newton is still eligible to play. Newton’s family said they neither received any money nor authorized anyone to sell out their son. So who knows what’s true about a bombshell revelation that could change the complexion of the entire season.

Cameron Newton's recruitment has been under scrutiny for almost a year.

The real issue though is this: if Auburn did pay someone $200,000 for the signature of Cam Newton they got an absolute steal.
He’s worth millions and that’s before they’re done counting the receipts on all the No. 2 jerseys sold or add up the extra donations from old men who get loose with a checkbook when they see a young man such as Newton carry the ball.
This is the real business of college football and only the most naive inside the sport even pretend that it is not.
It’s happening nearly everywhere with nearly everyone because no amount of NCAA legislation can stop the wheels of capitalism. The market will determine the value of a product and 29 touchdowns, nine victories and zero losses is worth a great deal more than tuition, room and board. It’s been that way for nearly a century.

As recruiting stories go, this is exactly how coaches quietly say it works – except for the 10 percent discount for Mississippi State. That was probably just a ploy to up the bidding. If Auburn did pay, then they paid $175,000 and Mississippi State was just getting played.
Recruiting agents don’t do double-coupon day. Nor should they, because coaches, athletic directors and the rest don’t agree to 10 percent pay cuts either.
In the end this is the same old story. College football’s power brokers write a bunch of lip-service rules in an effort to maintain the sports’ “amateurism
