It's Nov. 20, and we're exactly one month away from the first bowl game of the year.

Bama remains perfect and retains their #1 ranking for another week. They can't lose this weekend as they are TM off but they could, however, drop a spot in the rankings. It will interesting to see if Texas Tech jumps the Tide with a victory at Oklahoma, giving them two wins over two teams currently in the Top 5. More ... Auburn will have one last chance to become bowl-eligible in two weeks. The bad news is ® they must beat undefeated and #1 ranked Alabama. The good news is the Tigers have a week off to possibly get some of their key players healthy. More ... The Gators are the most complete team in the country right now, and I'm ® prepared to punch them a ticket to Miami and the BCS National Title Game.

The Noles are all but out of ACC title contention, unless they defeat Maryland and Wake Forest ® loses.

The Bulls have now lost three straight and their lone Big East win was against a dismal Syracuse. The latest meltdown was a 49-16 blowout loss to Rutgers.

Luckily for USF, it has already won six games and should be able to secure a bowl bid. More ... After losing five straight, the Eagles are now on a threegame winning streak and could earn bowl eligibility with a win at SMU in the season finale.
