Looking ahead to Week 5 and this year's "Game of the Century" Part 1

LSU's 42-21 victory over previous #1 Oklahoma has set up an early-season showdown between #1 and #2 in Week 5.

LSU, who moved up to #2 in this week's poll, has a bye week in Week 4, and the new #1 team, Florida State, hosts the Ole Miss Rebels, seemingly an easy victory. This sets up this year's first "Game of the Century" in Baton Rouge in Week 5.

The Tigers and the Seminoles met twice in season 1, with Florida State winning each matchup. However, in their first meeting in season 1, in Baton Rouge as well, the Seminoles won only 14-9 and fought off a late LSU rally, recovering an onside kick with under a minute remaining in the game.


Both teams have shown this season that they can score in bunches on offense and hold teams on defense. Through 3 games, LSU has scored an NCAA high 219 points and given up 65 points, while Florida State has scored 191 points while giving up only 23.

It should be a great game in Baton Rouge.

Another huge SEC matchup takes place in Week 4, as the Coach zeejaydee's 5th ranked Alabama Crimson Tide hosts the 18th ranked Miami Hurricanes. The winner of this matchup takes a huge step in becoming a force in challenging Florida State and LSU in the SEC race. If Alabama can establish the run on offense, Miami will be in trouble. But, this matchup might come down to turnovers. It should also be a tight game down to the wire.
