HOSTED BY: ERIK KUSELIAS

What a weekend of Football, contenders are starting to rise above the rest, I'm Erik Kuselias and this is College Football Live. Three top 10 teams fell on a wild weekend, Lets get to the headlines.

WHEN IT COUNTS:

• TCU stays perfect with a huge road win over Rutgers 42-24
• In a wild game, Iowa nearly comes back down three scores in the fourth quarter but falls short to Michigan earning their first loss of the year
• OU wins a hard fought game against A&M winning 17-10
• Duke bounces back with huge 38-31 win over Canes
• #1 LSU bounces Tide out of Death Valley 34-24
• #2 Arkansas continues to surprise with 45-17 win over GameCocks.

Mark May's Thoughts!

The University of Alabama, whoa, wait a minute. I mean the University of Alabama at Birmingham is the hottest team in the country right now. Now some of you may say Mark what about #1 LSU or #2 Arkansas, hell even #6 Nevada looks to be hot right now but UAB is clicking on all cylinders.

(HEAD COACH TRAVIS RHATIGAN AND QUARTERBACK WAYNE SMITH)

They have the hottest coach in College Football right now in Travis Rhatigan, a young fiery coach who seems to get the most out of his players. They have a quarterback in Wayne Smith who is a good decision maker, and lets not forget the nations leader rushing in the back field, add a top 10 defense and you got a 10-0 team. You may wonder why they're ranked so high at #7, They went on the road and beat Auburn and Virginia Tech and UCF all top 25 teams. Keep an eye on the Blazers with more and more media attention the nation will get to see a very good athletic team as the Bowl races heat up.

Thanks Mark, yes UAB seems to be on a roll, one of the hottest non qualifers on the map right now. Here is this weeks, National Players of the week.
Freshmen receiver Matt Ford for UAB hauled in 235 yards and 3 touchdowns in a blowout win against Southern Miss. Maryland defensive end Mario Ridgeway recorded 10 tackles and three sacks in a loss to Virginia.

We had a shake up in the BCS and as the season nears the end the pretenders are coming out and dropping out. Iowa and South Carolina all dropped out the top 10. the top seven teams are all undefeated and Arkansas bunny hopped Oregon for #2. This years BCS controversy goes to the Fresno State Bulldogs who are 8-0 are ranked 16th in the poll. Here are this weeks BCS Standings.

1. LSU 10-0
2. ARKANSAS 9-0
3. OREGON 9-0
4. UTAH 9-0
5. TCU 9-0
6. NEVADA 9-0
7. UAB 10-0
8. WISCONSIN 8-1
9. VIRGINIA TECH 8-1
10. ALABAMA 7-2

Like I said definitely a wild weekend of football, lets see whats on tap for the upcoming weekend.

#17 Baylor (7-1) at #14 Oklahoma (7-2)
This one is basically for the Big 12 title, OU is 6-0 in the conference and Baylor is 4-1. Baylor is playing big time football right now, but will need to go into a tough environment.

#6 Nevada (9-0) at Michigan State (3-6)
Record wise Michigan State looks to not have a chance, but for Nevada this could be a tough game game late in the season on the road in cold weather environment. Nevada could prove a lot with a win.

#23 Georgia Tech (7-2) at #9 Virginia Tech (8-1)
The yellow jackets turned their season around with a huge win over Duke a few weeks ago, But since a home loss to UAB VTech has been lights out, college gameday with be here as well, should be a good one.

Thats it for this show, we'll see you next week
