Things I'm looking forward to in week 8

• South Carolina at Florida is the big one this week. This should decide the SEC East (although Georgia aren't out of it yet)
• Kansas State at West Virginia - A week ago this looked a much bigger game, but then West Virginia's offence had an off day. Will they recover? A Kansas State win may mean the end
• Oregon at Arizona State - Oregon have cruised through the first half of the season, but have yet to be really tested (a fact reflected in the BCS rankings). Although bigger ones lie ahead, this is their first real test. It's time we started finding out how good Oregon really are this year.
• BYU at Notre Dame - a potential banana skin for Notre Dame. They should have enough to win but BYU are also capable of an upset if Notre Dame are not at their best.

The teams are starting to separate out and hopefully the influence of the early guesswork will start to fade in the rankings. Several other games such as LSU at Texas A&M, Michigan State at Michigan and Florida state at Miami will help this.
