- ESPN.com's Chris Low ranks the SEC's best running backs. Auburn had two in the top-5.
- 3. Ben Tate, Auburn: Gus Malzahn’s offense has given new life to Tate, who’s been the best downhill, power runner in the league this season. Even though he’s sharing time with freshman Onterio McCalebb, Tate has rushed for 540 yards and is averaging 5.6 yards per carry.
- 5. Onterio McCalebb, Auburn: He’s been Mr. Versatility for the Tigers and is third in the league in all-purpose yards. The 165-pound freshman is an explosive breakaway threat and gives Auburn a lot of speed on the perimeter. He’s averaging 6.2 yards per carry and ha also been a weapon in the return game.
- Auburn makes its first appearance on ESPN's power rankings, coming in at No. 15.

- Oops. The SEC admitted the official was wrong to flag Georgia's A.J. Green for excessive celebration after scoring a go-ahead touchdown against LSU, writes David Hale of the Macon Telegraph. That probably doesn't do much for Bulldogs fans right now. This probably doesn't help either: the officials have no intention of changing the rule.
- Tony Barnhart of the Atlanta Journal Constitution called the penalty the "single worst officiating mistake I have seen in my three decades of covering the sport."
- The NCAA's got to step in and change the rule, writes Kirk Bohls of the Austin American Statesman.

- A Florida State trustee wants 79-year-old Bobby Bowden to step down as the Seminoles' head coach, writes Steve Ellis of the Tallahassee Democrat. Bowden didn't want to talk about it Even Bowden's wife weighed in on the issue, writes Andrew Carter.
- Ellis takes a look at what's ahead for Bowden and FSU. Corey Clark asks is there any way this will end well? At least former FSU star cornerback Deion Sanders has his back.
- Tim Tebow is symptom-free but has not been cleared to play against No. 4 LSU this week, writes Jeremy Fowler of the Orlando Sentinel. The Gators have a contingency plan if Tebow can't go.
- LSU fans have a knack for getting opponents' cell phone numbers and bombarding them with text messages.
- Charlie Weis wonders why his Notre Dame Fighting Irish aren't ranked after beating up on the bottom half of the Big Ten and squeaking by at home against a team that went 0-12 last year. Let's go through the schedule, shall we? The Irish beat Nevada (1-3) and lost to Michigan (vastly overrated) before beating Michigan State (2-3), Purdue (1-4) and Washington (2-3). Yup, I'd have them unranked too I think.
