Most of the top teams were off Saturday, but there are some huge games coming up this week. LSU and Alabama meet up in Tuscaloosa and that game will likely decide the top team in the country. The loser could be in good shape for a spot in the playoffs though. They would almost certainly miss out on the SEC championship game, but would be a one-loss team in a very good SEC. The Big Ten has a potentially big game too when undefeated Penn State heads to undefeated Minnesota. The Golden Gophers have played a shockingly easy schedule so far and this will clearly be their toughest test to date. Minnesota does not deserve much credit for their undefeated record at this point, but that will change if they can take down the Nittany Lions.
