Wow... what a shake up in college football. It is always the weeks where you wake up and say "this will be a boring day of football" that the craziness happens and the upsets ensue. Obviously the headlining loss featured Alabama, who had their secondary FINALLY exposed by South Carolina. All the credit in the world goes to the Gamecocks who refused to let their lead slip even though there were plenty of opportunities for Bama to strike back. Arizona, who had struggled the past few weeks to win games, lost to a scrappy Oregon State team to fall out of the top ten and ultimately my top 15. Which teams helped their cause the most? For starters LSU certainly did by beating Florida in the Swamp (how many lives does Les Miles have??) and seizing control of the SEC West -- but wait! Auburn also benefits by the Alabama loss, meaning that Auburn and LSU are tops in the division, with Alabama and Arkansas keeping chase. The East is a mess at this point with South Carolina the top team at this point. Oregon benefits along with the undefeated Big 12 teams in Oklahoma and Nebraska. Boise and TCU believe just a little bit more that they can somehow sneak their way into the championship game. Last, but not least, the Ohio State Buckeyes are now the #1 team in college football.

Half of the season is over, so most of this means absolutely nothing. Stay tuned for the rest of the season to see where things are heading going into the bowl season.
