This past weekend was Alabama’s bye weekend, however during the break many things changed due to all of the upsets, blowouts and nail-biters.
Below is the Top 10 from both the AP Poll and USA Today Poll from week 6.
1. The turn this weekend began in Gainesville where the Florida Gators faced longtime SEC rival LSU. Overall it was a pretty slow moving game, with the only points scored in the first half from two field goals by LSU kicker Drew Alleman.
In the second half, the Gators came out chomping—scoring two 12-yard runs from senior running back Mike Gillislee and holding LSU scoreless.
Final: FLORIDA 14 LSU 6
2. Florida State, most likely, has lost all hope in going to the National Championship based on their performance this weekend against ACC rival North Carolina State University.
The game came down to the final seconds with a 2-yard touchdown pass on fourth down from NC State quarterback Mike Glennon to beat the #3 Florida State Seminoles. It was the upset of the week.
Final: NC STATE 17 FSU 16
3. The shutout – College GameDay joined hundreds of thousands of fans in Columbia, SC Saturday for the battle between the #5 South Carolina Gamecocks and the #6 Georgia Bulldawgs. The Gamecocks dominated from start to finish, beating on the Dawgs in both offense and defense.
