| Tide NG Cody may miss at least 2 games (AP) |
| Opposing offenses won't have to scale Mount Cody to get through the middle of No. 2 Alabama's defensive line for a while. Now, they get "The Incredible Hulk" instead.

| No. 7 Cowboys fired up to face Texas (AP) |
| There's a different feeling in the air around Oklahoma State these days. Quarterback Zac Robinson noticed it when he ran into star receiver Dez Bryant before weightlifting Monday morning.

| Tebow tabs McCoy as Heisman front-runner (AP) |
| Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has picked a front-runner for the Heisman Trophy, and it's not last year's winner. Tebow, who could become the first player since Ohio State's Archie Griffin in 1975 to win consecutive Heismans, said Monday that Texas quarterback Colt McCoy is his top choice right now. "Being smart and just looking at guys who are having a good year, he obviously is someone to look at... -- read full article |

| Lions, Buckeyes to battle for 1st place (AP) |
| Having proven for at least one game that they're better than they've seemed, the No. 10 Ohio State Buckeyes now have to impress No. 3 Penn State. "The mindset was, 'Let's show how good we are.' I think we did," offensive guard Jim Cordle said after Saturday's 45-7 rout of No. 20 Michigan State, undoubtedly the Buckeyes' most impressive game of the season. -- read full article |

| Buckeyes host Penn St. in Big Ten battle (AP) |
| The Big Ten lacks a championship game. The Penn State-Ohio State game, however, probably will end up deciding who wins the title. "It's either ours or Penn State's world and we'll find out next week," Buckeyes guard Jim Cordle said. "We like our chances with the momentum we've got going into it." Ohio State dismantled Michigan State on the road Saturday, starting with four unanswered touchdowns and... -- read full article |

| Texas is next challenge for Cowboys 'D' (AP) |
| One solid defensive performance could be considered an aberration. Two in a row constitutes a trend that Oklahoma State desperately wants to continue. A week after slowing down Missouri's high-octane offense in a 28-23 win, Oklahoma State held Baylor to a season-low 204 yards during a never-in-doubt 34-6 win. -- read full article |

| Georgia DT Wood suspended 1 game for DUI (AP) |
| Georgia defensive tackle Brandon Wood has been suspended for at least one game after being charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.

| No. 6 USC not worried about BCS (AP) |
| Pete Carroll has no use for BCS standings in October, no matter where Southern California is in them. "I couldn't care less," USC's coach said after his Trojans (5-1, 3-1 Pac-10) destroyed woeful Washington State 69-0 on Saturday for their biggest shutout victory since 1931. "It doesn't matter," he said before Sunday's BCS rankings had his team fifth. -- read full article |

| No. 4 Sooners' new-look defense succeeds (AP) |
| Oklahoma's Nic Harris had been told before that he looked like a middle linebacker. After getting his first chance to actually be one, the feeling wasn't so great.

| Texas' McCoy clear Heisman front runner (AP) |
| Texas coach Mack Brown likes to talk about Colt McCoy's 81 percent completion rate, noting that it would be hard to do against air, let alone a college defense. McCoy might have had a tougher time against air than he did against Missouri. "Phenomenal," Brown said after McCoy's latest brilliance in a 56-31 rout of No. -- read full article |

| Tide try to correct second-half letdowns (AP) |
| It's not the worst problem for a team to have, but No. 2 Alabama is going from world beater to survival mode after halftime. The result is close, nerve-racking wins like Saturday's 24-20 victory over Mississippi that was 24-3 by halftime before mistakes started kicking in. So far it has been enough to frustrate coach Nick Saban but not cost the Crimson Tide (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) its... -- read full article |
