Alabama has been No. 1 for several weeks now, but it took a 36-0 rout of Auburn to reclaim the top spot in TM the state.

Florida extended its winning streak ® over FSU to five years, and in very convincing fashion. Many said the rain would slow the Gators down, and they were right.

Finishing the season on a three-game winning streak was just a little too much to ask of this Knights team. The offense reverted back to its horrible ways by getting shut out by UAB.

After a weekend off, the Bulls prepare to face West Virginia this Saturday. Both teams are eliminated from Big East title contention, which is surprising as they were the two favorites to win it. This game was supposed to be a showdown for the crown, but instead it is merely a battle to reach eight wins. More ... USM is the comeback story of the season.
