cidsports: Week 6: We have a change at the Top of the Polls: Alabama Falls, after loss @ SC in SEC

Week 6 had some interesting scores and outcomes. There is a major shake up in the Top 25, with former #1 Alabama Crimson Tide falling @ former #16 South Carolina, 21-35. Others were knocked off as well. Now, there are more questions, than answers as we closed out Week 6 of the 2010 season.

Is Ohio State ready to run with it the rest of the 2010 College Football season?

Is there really a clear cut #1? We had one briefly with Alabama, but now?

Who win in the SEC West? Can South Carolina win first SEC East division title ever?

Will teams continue to beat up on one another in various BCS conferences?

Will a non-BCS team emerge in the BCS title game for the first time this season?

Six teams are now bowl eligible heading into Week 7

The first BCS poll will come out next week. Here's a look at the first Harris Poll of the 2010 season, which is a part of the BCS Ratings. It is time to shake up the Top 25, after last year's defending BCS title holder goes down in the SEC ...

CIDSports Week Top 25 Poll

Ohio State (6-0, 2-0 Big Ten) 2 - The toast of the Big Ten Conference moves up to #1, as the Buckeyes win 38-10 vs. Indiana (3-2, 0-2 Big Ten). Next: @ #17 Wisconsin (5-1, 1-1 Big Ten) against the program that owns three wins over the Buckeyes in the past decade.

Boise State (5-0, 1-0 WAC) 3 - Will Boise stay in this spot? Time will tell, but if various BCS conference teams go undefeated for the season, it will likely be hard to keep out.

Next: @ San Jose State (1-5, 0-1 WAC) back in WAC play in Week 7.

TCU (6-0, 2-0 MWC) 4 - The Horned Frogs are not that far off Boise State. In back to back bowl games, the two programs have split. Maybe, we can see them head to head again at the end of this season to settle things? The Horned Frogs roll in Week 6 with a 45-0 home win over Wyoming (2-4, 0-2 MWC). Next: vs. BYU (2-4, 1-1 MWC)), who pulled off an important MWC home win over San Diego State (3-2, 0-1 MWC) to end a four game losing streak for the Cougars.

Oregon (6-0, 3-0 Pac 10) 5 - The Ducks roll to a 43-23 victory @ Washington State (1-5, 0-3 Pac 10), but QB Darron Thomas leaves due to injury. Senior QB Nic Costa leads offense to victory in Pac 10 play. Next: vs. UCLA (3-3, 1-2 Pac 10), who fell 7-35 @ California (3-2, 1-1 Pac 10).

Nebraska (5-0, 1-0 Big 12 North) 10 - The Cornhuskers rolled in Week 6 in prime time on Thursday night with a 48-13 win @ Kansas State (4-1, 1-1 North) to open their final season of Big 12 play.

Auburn (6-0, 3-0 SEC West) 9 - The Tigers likely deserve to be higher, but they still must play through Arkansas, @ Alabama and LSU in SEC West play. Auburn won a 37-34 road win on a last second FG @ Kentucky (3-3, 0-3 SEC East). Next: vs. #12 Arkansas (4-1, 1-1 SEC West), in a huge SEC West showdown, where there have been four straight upsets per Phil Steele.

Michigan State (6-0, 2-0 Big Ten) 17 - This program may have the best track to a BCS bowl, since they don't play Ohio State in Big Ten play in 2010.
