No. 1 Oregon tries to avoid Bama-like upset
No. 1 team in the nation, playing at home against a ranked divisional rival with two losses on its record and an elusive redshirt freshman quarterback directing its offense. Sounds familiar. Last week it was top-ranked Alabama losing to No. 15 Texas A&M to shake up the national championship race. This week, new No. 1 Oregon hosts No. 14 Stanford, looking to avoid a repeat. The Tide’s loss has left the Ducks, second in the BCS, and No. 2 Kansas State, first in the BCS, on course to play for the national championship. The Wildcats have what looks like an easier task this week – a game at Baylor (4-5). No. 3 Notre Dame plays Wake Forest (5-5) on Saturday, hoping to stay unbeaten and take one of those spots if the Cardinal or Bears can pull an upset. No. 4 Alabama needs two upsets to get back into the front row…
Alabama, Florida State post huge shutouts
Without Tyler Wilson , Arkansas never had a chance against Alabama. Florida State dispatched Wake Forest just as easily. The top-ranked Crimson Tide demolished the beleaguered Razorbacks 52-0 on Saturday in Fayetteville, Ark., and the No. 5 Seminoles won by the same lopsided score. Arkansas’ much-anticipated season has crumbled three weeks into the season. The Razorbacks lost 34-31 in overtime last week to Louisiana-Monroe, and Wilson suffered a head injury in that game. Wilson was in uniform, but did not play against the Tide and his backups, Brandon Allen and Brandon Mitchell, were tormented by the Alabama defense. Arkansas managed only 137 yards. Florida State’s Chris Thompson had more than that on nine carries against Wake Forest. The speedy running back broke touchdown runs of 74 and 80 yards in the first half. The Seminoles looked ready to go for their Atlantic Coast Conference showdown at home against Clemson next week. — No. 1 ALABAMA 52, ARKANSAS 0 FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP)…
