NO. 12 SOUTH CAROLINA AT NO. 2 LSU
Spurrier tries to work magic
Steve Spurrier has his team believing but LSU's defense is as good as it gets in college football.
Game: 2:30 p.m., Ch. 4
NO. 22 GEORGIA AT NO. 16 ALABAMA
The Tide's a rolling
Can you imagine the hysteria amongst Tide faithful if Nick Saban starts 4-0?
Game: 6:45 p.m., ESPN
Big Ten game of the week
NO. 10 PENN STATE AT MICHIGAN
Game: 2:30 p.m, Ch. 5
The last time Penn State visited Ann Arbor, the Wolverines scored a last-second touchdown to ruin the Nittany Lions' bid for a perfect season. The circumstances are different this time. Penn State looks like it can compete for the Big ten title, while Michigan is trying to regain some of its swagger. The Wolverines gained some momentum by smashing Notre Dame last week, but this will be a much tougher test.
Upset special
GEORGIA 28, ALABAMA 27
The Tide is riding a huge wave of momentum after last week's last-second victory over Arkansas. The bubble could burst.
Heisman Hopeful
Tim Tebow, Florida
Quarterback is a legend in the making in Gator country. Throttling Tennessee only added to the admiration.

Mark Craig: The importance of kicker Ryan Longwell can't be overlooked - September 21, 2007
Mark Craig: The importance of kicker Ryan Longwell can't be overlooked - As long as the Vikings keep winning, we'll be dishing out praise to the Brad Childress regime. (Warning: This exercise could end extraordinarily abruptly with a first-round playoff exit). Childress and the organization have gotten well-deserved credit for the Jared Allen trade. Chasing and catching Brett Favre. Doing background work on Percy Harvin (so far, so good). But watching the Texans fall to 5-5 [Monday] night when kicker Kris Brown missed a last-second field goal for the second consecutive week made me think about one of Childress' first decisions as a Vikings coach: Ryan Longwell. Remember how bad the Vikings' kicking situation was under Mike Tice? Even Tice has admitted that kickers were his Achilles' heel. Well, Childress came in before the 2006 season and on Day 1 of free agency, one of the players he locked up was Longwell. Longwell has a career field goal percentage of 82.7, third-best in NFL history. He's 85.9 percent since he joined the Vikings. Longwell has made 15 of 16 field goal attempts this season. Just thought I'd throw that out there after watching Brown miss a 49-yarder that would have sent Monday night's game against Tennessee into overtime. It came a week after he missed a 42-yarder as time expired in a 20-17 loss to the Colts. More
I made this championship belt for the push to the '09 Division Title. Gladden offered to buy it; I wanted a trade for one of his rings. He declined.
