WEEK 5 HEADLINES

SI Headline: Blanked!: Miami’s defense baffles rival Boston College on their way to a 41-0 win.

The LSU Tigers find themselves in a good position this week, being ranked 10th after beating undefeated SEC opponent Georgia. Death Valley was as loud as it ever was, and a late interception allowed the Tigers to hold off a Georgia 4th-quarter comeback. The Tigers set their eyes on an SEC championship, being far from the clear favorites, as they share the division with Auburn and Arkansas, both of whom are ranked and undefeated. Halfback Joseph Addai commented on this, expressing that they need to establish themselves offensively, and get in a rhythm early so that they don’t need to rely on the defense as much. “Those guys are great, don’t get me wrong” says Addai. “But offensively we’re going to be needing to put up 30, 40, 50 points a game against some of these stronger teams, because mistakes on our part will make it that much harder on the defense to stop the likes of Carnell Williams, Ingle Martin, Brodie Croyle, and all those other players we play on a yearly basis.

Michigan has fallen again, being limited to 6 points in the first 3 quarters before scoring a pair of touchdowns late in the 4th to make a 27-20 loss seem closer than it actually was. The program, which has not won a national title in decades despite plenty of top-tier talents who have spent their time there, will have to find a direction before the end of the season if they want to become serious B1G contenders in the future.

The top of the polls saw no movement, and the established powers look to have some serious clashes later on in the season. The Red River Rivalry will pit #1 vs #3 barring a massive upset, and the week before that Texas will take on Kansas State in another top-5 battle. Miami will have to play Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech down the line, and LSU/Auburn will have to face Alabama, Arkansas, Ole Miss and Florida. Expect the following weeks to whittle down the long list of contenders for the Natty this year.
