College football races begin to take shape
This is the time of year where the college football world begins to fall into place. The ACC has three games -- Virginia Tech at Florida State, Virginia at Georgia Tech, Boston College at North Carolina -- that will all but eliminate the loser from the conference race. And all of them could easily go either way. The same is true in other conferences. The Big Ten battle between Penn State and Ohio State is seen as the conference title game. Texas-Oklahoma State and Kansas-Texas Tech has major implications on the Big 12 race. LSU needs to beat Georgia in the SEC to stay close to Alabama. In the Pac-10, USC is the clear favorite but Arizona could upset those plans. And the results of three games will begin to clear up the Big East, not that the Big East race matters in the national championship picture. The same can be said for the ACC. But to those who care, the games still mean a lot. -- Jeff Gilbert
