NMSU's bowl hopes are nearly dead, if they aren't already, at 3-5. But Tony Sanchez still believes the Aggies can rally.

A December trip to Detroit, Michigan, seems increasingly likely after the Iowa loss. They might have to get to 7-5 or 8-4 to get invited to the Rate Bowl or Pinstripe Bowl, like ESPN projects.
Duke's climactic first win at Clemson in 45 years featured four touchdown passes and 361 yards passing from Darian Mensah, who gave the Blue Devils the lead with a successful 2-point conversion with 40 seconds to play on a bootleg toss to Sahmir Hagans.
