#1 Bama vs. #2 UNC to Sqaure Off in Week 9

Week 9 presents us with another huge head-to-head RUTS match-up, as the #2 North Carolina Tarheels travel west to Tuscaloosa to face off against the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide. Not only is this one a battle between two SEC foes, and a rematch from last season's conference title game, the winner will be the clear-cut winner of the "Best Team with the Weirdest Mascot" award. Crimson Tide vs. Tarheels! Buckle your chinstraps!

The first BCS Standings of season 2 were released this week, and to no one's surprise, RUTS teams are prominently ranked. Entering this week,  Alabama, North Carolina, Oklahoma, LSU, Ohio State, and even Oregon and Miami all have legitimate shots to make it to the BCS title game at season's end. The rankings are located on the right side of the blog.

Here are some photo highlights from Week 8:

Tennessee's RB Poole runs wild on Bama's Defense (230 rushing yards), but Julio and Company still manage to poop on the Vols' hopes of an upset.


Sooners scamper over Notre Dame, and Calhoun collects some serious cash! Was it from Coach utvol27?


LSU shuts down Auburn, and finds a new "Slash" in its already potent offense!


Cane U Dig It? Miami Pounds Texas, Moves to 5-2 on the season


Don't look now, but the #6 Buckeyes are climbing back up in the polls. Can 2-loss OSu run the table and make it to the 'Big Show'?


The #2 Tarheels have run roughshot over the competition this season. They'll get their shot at national respect this week as the face off against #1 Alabama


A last second FG lifts Oregon over Big 12 rival Florida State. They battle Notre Dame this week before heading to Columbus to tangle with with Buckeyes in Week 10 for Big 12 North supremacy.
