I can't believe it's already Week 10, and the season has been going this fast. The past weekend was just crazy, and not just for Ohio State. Unbeatens fell, Stanford barely edged USC, and conferences got all wacky with only 4 or 5 regular season weeks left to be played. We are nearing the end, but the puzzle has not been solved. Some hints as to who might be in the Championship game might be figured out this weekend with key match ups like LSU vs. Alabama, Kansas State vs. Oklahoma State, and South Carolina vs. Arkansas. Let's take a look at the rankings this week, and see who rose and fell in Week 9 games.
