Upset Week in College Football

I am a huge college football fan.  Going into week 6, the schedule for most teams started to get a little tougher.  The top ten teams in the nation were Florida State, Oregon, Alabama, Oklahoma, Auburn, Texas A&M, Baylor, UCLA, Notre Dame, and Michigan State.  People thought that this would be the way it would be by the end of the season but they were totally wrong.  11 teams out of the top 25 lost during week 6 and 5 of the top ten teams went down.  By far, this was totally the biggest upset week in college football history.  

The state of Mississippi had two teams that were playing good this season but had two huge games in week 6.  Mississippi State vs Texas A&M and Ole Miss vs Alabama.  What made these games so important is that the two Mississippi teams have not been very successful over the years and both teams have never been in the top ten in rankings, ever!  Going into the games on Saturday, obviously Texas A&M were the favorites to win and Alabama were the favorites.  Mississippi State crushed Texas A&M first.  But when the Ole Miss vs Alabama game started, things didn't look so good for Ole Miss going into halftime losing 14-3.  But in the 4th quarter, Ole Miss found life and scored 3 touchdowns to beat Alabama.  I was so excited and happy for Ole Miss because I always want Alabama to lose no matter who they are playing.

I am a huge Auburn Tigers fan.  After watching Alabama lose, it was time for Auburn to play.  Everyone probably expected LSU to upset Auburn like TCU did Oklahoma, Utah did UCLA, and Arizona did Oregon, but Auburn played very well and crushed LSU 41-7.  My favorite player Nick Marshall played like a heisman candidate and Auburn's defense was great!  Going into week 7, the top ten teams look totally different in the AP poll.  Now it's Florida State, Auburn, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Baylor, Notre Dame, Alabama, Michigan State, TCU, and Arizona.  I think Auburn will be number 1 after week 7 is over.  War Eagle!!
