While the AP Poll continues to unanimously place the Ohio State Buckeyes at the top of the list, the Coaches' Poll remains one vote from unanimously crowning tOSU as the best in the land. Behind them, the Alabama Crimson Tide leap to No. 2 after defeating the Wisconsin Badgers pushing the TCU Horned Frogs down to No. 3. It would appear that TCU and Baylor are once again on a collision course to decide the Big 12 and potential take a spot in the college playoff system.

On another note, the Oklahoma Sooners continue to hold down the No. 19 spot in the AP Poll and move up to No. 17 in the Coaches' Poll after a convincing win over the Akron Zips. Now, the Tennessee Volunteers await Bob Stoops and Co. in Knoxville. They'll look to avenge a 34-10 loss in Norman a year ago with second year head coach, Butch Jones calling the shots.
