Voters do not look too kindly
to 17 point defeats, but when they come at home,
you can expect a precipitous fall. That is exactly
what happened.
Auburn’s loss turned
out to be Florida’s gain. Florida moved
from 5th all the way up to second, after an impressive
23-10 win over a very good LSU team. As we have
it, these two teams meet this week at Auburn in
what is shaping up as the early game of the week.
The spread for this contest is currently Auburn
-1.5.
The Gators are right behind
top ranked Ohio State, who has remained at the
top of the polls the entire season so far. The
Buckeyes are on the road this week against a Michigan
State team that is in free-fall mode. Ohio State
is 14.5 point favorites.
Number three ranked, USC
fell behind the Gators after two lackluster performances
in a row. Two weeks ago, they survived at Washington
State, 28-22. This past Saturday, they only beat
Washington by six points at home, 26-20. The Trojans
get Arizona State at home this week, and are favored
by 19 points with receiver Dwayne Jarrett likely
in the line-up.
Rounding out the top five
are two undefeated teams, Michigan (6-0) and West
Virginia (5-0). Michigan is playing as good as
any team in the country. They are at Penn State
this week and are 6.5 point favorites.
West Virginia got their running
game going last week in a 42-14 win at Mississippi
State. Running back, Steve Slaton had 185 yards
on the ground. They play Syracuse at home this
week and are 25.5 point favorites.
The rest of the top 10 teams
are Texas, Louisville, Tennessee, Notre Dame and
California.
Watch out for Texas, as they
are likely to go undefeated the rest of the way.
They are hoping that enough teams in front of
them lose a game so they can squeak into the national
championship game. It would be interesting to
see the Longhorns play Ohio State given how the
Buckeyes handled them so easily in Austin back
in Week Two.
