It was the most exciting week of the year so far, as six Top 25 teams, including two in the Top Five, went down to defeats. Oklahoma and Wisconsin saw their national title hopes take a big hit, while LSU and Alabama continue on a collision course for a huge showdown in two weeks. Here are all the highlights from this week in the Top 25.

This was a big week for football fans, with a lot of important action on the field. Once again, several teams made their case for why they should be #1, as LSU and Oklahoma won big over ranked opponents and Alabama pitched another shutout. Here are all the highlights from around the Top 25.
Week six is here in the college football season, and we’ve got another slate of great games this week, highlighted by the Red River Rivalry in Dallas, a pair of ranked-team matchups in the SEC and some very important conference games. Here are the highlights for this week’s top 25 teams.

September 14, 2011 I'm really looking forward to the Cajuns' home opener this weekend against Nicholls State. Weather should be great, the Cajuns are coming off a solid win, an in-state opponent is coming to town which will help the crowd somewhat and people are excited about what Coach Mark Hudspeth is bringing to the table.
While many of this weekend’s games were just tune-ups for showdowns to come, there were several great battles to keep things exciting, including Michigan’s last-second win over Notre Dame, South Carolina’s shootout victory over Georgia and Auburn stuffing Mississippi State at the goal line to win their 17th straight game.
With that, here are the highlights from the top 25 and other games of interest this week:
September 10, 2011 The #2 ranked LSU Tigers whipped the Northwestern St. Demons in their home opener at Tiger Stadium Saturday night by the score of 49-3. Tiger quarterback Jarrett Lee finished 9-10 for 133 yards and a touchdown. LSU running backs Michael Ford, Spencer Ware, and Alfred Blue combined for 5 TD runs. The LSU defense allowed only 95 yards to the Demons, as Northwestern St. finished with -4 yards on the ground.
