It seems the top three teams are on a higher level than the rest of the crowd, but there is quite a bit of pigskin tossing left to witness, so hold tight.....Clemson is winning the games they usually stumble on, but tough to be considered for the National Title when you give up 45 to Maryland....OU seems sleepy against KU, but you cannot get up for everyone....South Carolina is sloppy, but got a necessary win at Miss. State, but lost All America tailback Marcus Lattimore for the season with a knee injury....Washington is playing well and may yet be heard from in the PAC 12....The wheels have fallen off in Boulder, and Colorado is looking like a starting from scratch project for a team contending for national titles just 20 years ago....Boise State is spanking folks, but will remain on the outside looking in....GT is another team that cannot seem to handle the pressure of being highly ranked....and you can add Illinois to that.....Florida is woeful on offense, but they can stop the run and that gives them a punchers chance in any game....Could the Pony Express be about to enter the Top 25???....Obviously, Bill Snyder can coach, as he has K-State undefeated and sniffing around the top 10.

Florida State got a critical win at Duke, who believe me, is well coached. However, even in dominating Duke, the Seminoles still have much work to do. Not helping the situation is the loss of another defensive starter, Jacobbi McDaniel, for the year with a broken ankle. Maryland, fresh of putting 45 on Clemson in a losing effort, comes to town Saturday.
