In the spotlight Chris Perry Michigan
Senior leads nation in rushing (183 yards per game) and scoring (16 points per game). Is Heisman in his future?
Jamaal Brimmer UNLV
Strong safety gave Wisconsin fits in a dominant performance that included a fumble return for a TD, two interceptions, two sacks and 11 tackles.
Cedric Houston Tennessee
The SEC's leading rusher (160.5) needs to have a big game for the Vols to escape the Swamp with a victory.
Upset Special TEXAS TECH 28, N.C. STATE 24
N.C. State is favored by a touchdown at home, but the Wolfpack can't afford to have a hangover after last week's triple-overtime loss at Ohio State. Both teams rank in the top five nationally in passing. If the weather is bad, it might come down to turnovers.
BY THE NUMBERS 9
Pittsburgh's ranking, the school's highest since Oct. 23, 1989, when it was No. 7.
22
Quarters that Southern Cal has gone without giving up a rushing touchdown. USC's opponents are averaging 50.7 yards per game and 1.9 yards per rush.
38
Michigan's margin of victory against Notre Dame last week. It was Notre Dame's most lopsided defeat since losing to Miami 58-7 in 1985 -- Gerry Faust's last game as Irish coach.
95.6
Colorado's rushing average this season.
241.2
Colorado's rushing average last season.
291

OVERHEARD "There are two hurricanes coming. The football team is the one that concerns me." -- Boston College Coach Tom O'Brien said of potential weather problems this weekend.
