National Top 11

article by Thomas Francis Danielson, senior blogger, secfootballpodcast.com

This has to be the best weekend of college football for the SEC. Had Ole Miss beaten SC in week 4 we would be watching two top 5 match-ups from the SEC this weekend. The Gators and the Longhorns rest easy as the top 2 in college football. Alabama crushed UK in a road game, but now travel to Ole Miss this weekend for a heated battle. LSU continues to baffle and make critics scratch their heads, and prepare for a visit from the #1 Gators. Cincy stays at No. 5 with another offensive showcase. Iowa barely hangs in again with a mediocre win against a mediocre team. V-Tech wins on the road against Duke, albeit ugly. Miami turns out 3-1 after 4 games in a row against ranked opponents, this last one defending their turf against #6 OU and kicking them out of our top 11 for second time. Auburn quietly creeps up the ladder with a big win at Tenn, props to Wes Byrum and his 4 feild goals. USC rejoins us with a shalacking of Cal at Cal. South Florida has a nice road win and upset FSU the previous week. USF and Cincy have byes this weekend and face each other undefeated Oct. 17th!
