Notes:

• USC, Virginia Tech and Texas all look a step above everyone.
• Georgia's season hinges on the severity of Shockley's injury.
• Alabama is just treading water, will lose one to LSU or Auburn.
• UCLA finally stepped up their game, next week's game at surprise Stanford will be tough.
• Oregon's chance at a 10-1 season and BCS bowl took a big hit with the injury to Kellen Clemons.
• Next weeks Northwestern-Michigan game will go a long way in determining the Big Ten title.
• Fresno State continues to dominate with its defense and special teams.
• Florida can make a jump back into the SEC East race with a win over Georgia.
• Texas Tech is a joke? They need to win out to even be considered a top 15 team.
• Texas Christian will be haunted by the loss to SMU all year.
