2013 College Football Season – Week 11 BCS Standings
As expected, the top 25 of the BCS standings took a big hit and shake, as Florida State took a big step towards being in the national championship game with Alabama, distancing themselves at number 2 from the rest of the chasing pack, as things are quite close between Ohio State, Stanford and Baylor battling for third.

Panthers vs 49ers – How to Win Ugly
The Carolina Panthers needed a big win to show they’re for real this year; genuine contenders in the NFC. Picking up their fifth in a row, over the San Francisco 49ers, in Candlestick Park, it’s hard to argue about their credentials anymore after the 10-9 victory.

Oklahoma vs Baylor – Bryce Petty Isn’t Alone in Perfection
The Big 12 is a new conference. Oklahoma are one of the old powers, and right now, not good enough to stop the winds of change, crushed by Baylor who remain the conference’s only undefeated team through a 41-12 win over the Sooners, thanks to an accurate performance from Bryce Petty and a defense that is probably a lot better than usually given credit for.
