3 Teams Clinch Division Crowns

The Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the LSU Tigers 35-28 last week, giving the Tide their fourth SEC West title in 5 seasons of RUTS3.

The game was a close battle, with the Tide scoring the game winning TD with 16 seconds left. Alabama remained at #5 in the BCS polls this week, and despite its 2 early-season losses, has a great chance of ending up in the BCS National Title Game should they be able to win out and defeat the SEC East Champ in the SEC title game.


The SEC East Champion is #6 North Carolina. The Tarheels are one of the hottest teams in RUTS, reeling off 7 straight victories after losing in Week 2 to Oklahoma. Coach ChrisHicks21's team might have enough momentum to give Alabama a run for their money in the SEC title game this year. It will be the 4th time in 5 seasons that the Heels and the Tide have locked horns in Atlanta with the SEC championship on the line.


#7 Ohio State has clinched the Big 12 North title and awaits the winner of this week's Miami/Oklahoma game to see who it will face in Dallas.The #2 Sooners are a 6 point favorite over #8 Miami, but you can't rule out the Canes. Miami has defeated Alabama and Florida this season, and Coach stinvol has knocked off Coach utvol27 before (in season 1). This one could be interesting.



Oklahoma faces #1 USC in week 13, and Florida battles #4 Georgia Tech. #3 Cincinnati lost this week to South Florida. 



Once again this season, we predict that the SEC Champion and the Big 12 Champion will be matched up in the BCS National Title Game. Making for a 5th consecutive user vs. user game for all the marbles!
