People used to say that the road to the national championship goes through Florida. This year, the road to the title goes through Mississippi. The Bulldogs and Rebels remain at the top of our poll. Because of the Egg Bowl, only three teams can be undefeated at the end of the season.
As the end of October nears, the goal is to not suffer a second defeat. Teams from the Big-12, Big Ten and Pac-12 are all trying to keep a team alive.
