Overall, everything has set up nicely for the big match ups that were highlighted in the preseason – Ohio St v. Michigan and WVU v. Louisville. Certainly the top two spots are therefore, up for grabs the next few weekends. After that it looks like a clusterfluff of one-loss teams. Unfortunately, I expect to see more and more coaches lobbying for positions (see Tommy Tubberville and Charlie Weis) as the season progresses.
