Minus a 93-yard kickoff return by Spiller to start the second half, Alabama held the potent backfield to a combined 15 yards rushing in their victory. Look out SEC, the Tide might be back a year earlier than you think.
Coach (tie): Skip Holtz and Rick Neuheisel
One coach began the process of restoring the glory days of his alma mater, while the other began his quest to become a BCS-buster.
You can't deny East Carolina is one of the favorites in Conference USA, but their win over No. 17 Virginia Tech and a shot at No. 5 West Virginia this week has some people in Greenville think more than just C-USA Title.
As for UCLA, give QB Kevin Craft a ton of credit for maintaining his poise after being picked off four times in the first half against No. 18 Tennessee (the final one returned for a TD) and leading the Bruins to a 27-24 victory.
Team: Arkansas State
You just don't walk into Kyle Field, the home of the 12th Man, and expect to get a victory. Apparently you do if you're Arkansas State.
Playing their first game with their new nickname, the Red Wolves marched into College Station and ruined Mike Sherman's Aggie debut, 18-14. This marks the second straight season a Sun Belt team went on the road to beat a BCS (remember Nick Saban's Pearl Harbor comparison when his Tide lost ON HOMECOMING to Louisiana-Monroe last year)
Stay tuned each Monday for the All-Anderson team...
