For most teams, we’ve reached the halfway point of the regular season and the conference title races are starting to take shape. Last week gave us exciting finishes and monster upsets, and we’ve got another good slate of games this week with three big games between ranked teams and 11 ranked teams playing on the road.
Here is what to watch for this week in college football:
The NCAA announced Monday that it would move its future championship events out of New Jersey after the state adopted new rules to allow gambling on sporting events.
The Southeastern Conference, winner of six straight national championships, took an early lead for a seventh, as the first BCS poll of the season gave the top two spots to Alabama and Florida.
This was another exciting week in college football, including monster upsets, big rivalry games, close finishes and even a little controversy that could play into the national title mix.
Here are all the highlights from this week in the Top 25.
While there aren't as many marquee games as last week, we have several intriguing matchups to look forward to this weekend. Saturday features four games between ranked opponents, including one top 10 game in the SEC. Additionally, 14 of the 22 ranked teams in action this weekend are playing road or neutral-site games. So this could be another weekend to be on upset alert.

Former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky will spend the rest of his life behind bars after being sentenced Tuesday to 30 to 60 years in prison for his role in the Penn State sex-abuse case.
The new rankings will look very different this week as three Top Five teams all went down to a defeat, part of a larger shakedown in college football that saw nine ranked teams all suffer losses.

While last week gave us a number of exciting games (West Virginia/Baylor shootout, Texas’ controversial last-minute touchdown to beat Oklahoma State, Nebraska’s comeback win over Wisconsin, etc.), it was lacking in marquee games between ranked teams or conference rivals. But this week will make up for it in a big way with five games between ranked teams, including not one but two Top Ten matchups in the SEC.

An Oklahoma City man was arrested this week after threatening a convenience store employee with a tree branch in an act of 'Botanical Brutality.' Ugh, sorry.
We've had our first round of big upsets, with Arkansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Wisconsin all falling out of the Top 25. And with some big games on tap next Saturday (Clemson vs. Florida State, Kansas State vs. Oklahoma, Michigan vs. Notre Dame), a bunch of big names better not get caught looking ahead this week.
