A look ahead to week 10

Week 10 is dominated by Alabama at LSU. Not much need to be said about this game. So far Alabama has looked impressive while LSU has almost stumbled through the season. Despite this it will almost certainly decide the SEC West division. Personally I hope the game isn't as one-sided as last seasons national championship game, and features a few touchdowns unlike their regular season encounter last year. However, I'll settle for a game as tense and as enthralling as that regular season game.

Some other games I'll be keeping an eye on:

• Ole Miss at Georgia and Missouri at Florida - although last weeks cocktail party probably decided the SEC East, it isn't over yet. If Florida win the rest of their games they will either end up winning the division if Georgia slip up, or in a BCS bowl game if they don't. So this is an important week for both teams.
• Oregon at USC - by far the biggest test Oregon will have faced so far this season and the start of their tough end of season run of games. We'll find out if they are as good as they have looked very soon.
• Oklahoma State at Kansas State - this time last year Oklahoma State were on course for an unbeaten season and making the national championship game. Then they unexpectedly lost at Iowa State. Kansas State are on course for an unbeaten season, can they avoid the unexpected loss?
