Alabama trails Texas and leads all others across the board in the polls and computers. It's hard to deny that Bama has a solid resume thus far. Inconsistent play, however, could end up costing the Tide a shot at a national title. More ... Atlantic Division Div. Coastal Division Last week Florida State 26, N.C.

It's the third Saturday in October, and that means UT comes calling. As we've seen thus far TM this season, it isn't wise to sleep on any opponent in the SEC. Nick Saban, however, is one of the best at keeping his teams focused and intense. Tennessee will not need any help with motivation after the humiliating 41-17 blowout last season. More ... Prior to the start of the season, tonight's game vs. West Virginia looked to be a contest of conference-title and possibly national-title contenders. Now it merely seems like a mediocre Thursday night game between two unspectacular teams. More ... Florida fans are furious about their No. 10 ranking in the first ® BCS poll of the season.

After a 26-17 victory at N.C. State, FSU has cracked the Top 25 for the first time this season.

It will be interesting to see if the Hurricanes can keep their momentum against an equally inconsistent but also equally as capable Wake Forest team. Interceptions continue to be a major issue for the 'Canes offense. They survived Duke despite giving them three. More ... UCF has had two weeks to prepare for the high-powered scoring machine that is the Tulsa offense. I'm afraid that it will not be nearly enough. The Knights will need to score points (and a lot of them) to beat the Hurricane. UCF ranks 109th in scoring, 112th in passing yards and 120th in total yards.
