Doomsday clock struck for Top Ten Teams............

For Fans residing in towns like Boulder, Tampa Bay, Atlanta, Champaign, Berkeley, College Park and Manhattan well you probably still have a bit of a hang over from the late night celebrations that took place this past Saturday. On the other hand, it was a day to forgot for those team on the losing end of the scoreboard as dreams of playing in the BCS Championship game took a serious backseat to those in the ranks of the still unbeaten. It is going to be difficult for both LSU, who is now working through the meaty part of their SEC schedule, and the Trojans who still have games @ CAL, Notre Dame and ending the season home vs. UCLA, to end the season undefeated so there is still a chance. Below are some interesting factoids from the great action experienced this past Saturday. Enjoy..........

The Illini delivered the biggest win of Ron Zook's era as they beat a ranked opponent for the first time since 2001 (the season of their last bowl appearance) and have their first 2-0 record in the Big Ten in 16 years.
