1 | Mississippi State | 7-0 | W: Kentucky 45-31 | 1 | |
This game was closer then the score would indicate. | |||||
2 | Florida State | 7-0 | Idle | 2 | |
Looks like they are on pace to take the ACC and have a birth in the playoff. | |||||
3 | Oregon | 7-1 | W: Cal 59-41 | 3 | |
Five more touchdown passes for Marcus Mariota and Royce Freeman brings balance to the offense. | |||||
4 | Notre Dame | 6-1 | Idle | 5 | |
Nobody thought the game with Arizona State in November was going to have these types of ramnifications. | |||||
5 | Michigan State | 7-1 | W: Michigan 35-11 | 6 | |
A week off to prep for Ohio State in what could be the Big 10 Game of the Year. | |||||
6 | Ole Miss | 7-1 | L: #22 LSU 7-10 | 3 | |
Perhaps some game mismanagement at the end of the game for Ole Miss, the loss doesn't knock them out of playoff contention yet. | |||||
7 | Alabama | 7-1 | W: Tennessee 34-20 | 8 | |
11-15 on 3rd down conversions, that is about as good as you can ask. | |||||

Auburn looks shaky right now and the defense needs to stabilize coming down the stretch. | |||||
9 | TCU | 6-1 | W: Texas Tech 82-27 | 10 | |
The football team may outscore the basketball squad at this pace. | |||||
10 | Georgia | 6-1 | Idle | 9 | |
The Todd Gurley eligibility issue looms large this week for the Bulldogs. | |||||
11 | Kansas State | 6-1 | W: Texas 23-0 | 11 | |
We know Texas is not the same powerhouse as we are accustomed to seeing but still, a shutout over the Longhorns will turn some heads. | |||||
12 | Ohio State | 6-1 | W: Penn State 31-24 2OT | 12 | |
Still not sure how that first Ohio State interception was not overturned. | |||||
13 | Baylor | 6-1 | Idle | 13 | |
Could be on a December collisiion course with Kansas State. | |||||
14 | Nebraska | 7-1 | W: Rutgers 42-24 | 14 | |
Is there any team in America with wide receivers that block as well as the Cornhuskers. | |||||
15 | Arizona | 6-1 | W: Washington State 59-37 | 15 | |
Five more touchdowns for Anu Solomon and to 5 different receivers. The Wildcats have plenty of weapons on offense. | |||||
16 | Arizona State | 6-1 | W: #30 Washington 24-10 | 17 | |
Can't be guitly of looking ahead to Notre Dame in two weeks as Utah looms and they are very dangerous. | |||||
17 | LSU | 7-2 | W: #3 Ole Miss 10-7 | 22 | |
They play Alabama in two weeks, and this game may be the best rivalry at the NCAA level over the last five years. | |||||
18 | Oklahoma | 5-2 | Idle | 16 | |
Others in the conference are stepping up their play, the Sooners need to do so or they will sink quickly. | |||||
19 | East Carolina | 6-1 | W: UConn 31-21 | 18 | |
Near disaster for East Carolina as Connecticut controlled line play much of the night and was dictating the flow of that game. | |||||
20 | Clemson | 6-2 | W: Syracuse 16-6 | 19 | |
The defense is ranked #5 in the nation and they get quarterback pressure with ease. |
