Last time out, Wake showed a great deal of toughness by getting past Clemson, 12-7. As for Maryland, it has been idle since October 4th when it was crushed by Virginia, 31-0. That ugly setback halted a three-game win streak for the Terps, who are now 4-2 overall and 1-1 in league play. Maryland owns a commanding 40-15-1

lready knocked off a top-ranked opponent in the Florida Gators on September 27. Now it's on to Tuscaloosa to take on the second-ranked Crimson Tide. Alabama has had most of its success this season away from home with huge scores over Georgia and Clemson. On the other hand, Nick Saban's squad was sluggish at Bryant-Denny Stadium vs. both Tulane and Kentucky, and the Tide is now 0-6 ATS in its last six as a conference home favorite. Taking it a step further, Alabama has covered just two of its la

Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, Pittsburgh, Ball State and California round out the bottom five in the rankings. The Demon Deacons clipped Clemson to stay in their slot from last week, but the Commodores (5-1) suffered their first defeat of the season, a 17-14 heartbreaker to Mississippi State which plunged them all the way down from 13 to 22.

Clemson, SC (Sports Network) - The Clemson Tigers have not lived up to their No. 9 preseason ranking and will look to get a spark from red-shirt freshman Willy Korn, who head coach Tommy Bowden named as the starting quarterback for the October 18th battle with Georgia Tech. "We need to find a spark offensively," Bowden said on Friday. "With the injuries we have on that side of the ball, we need to reevaluate our plan. A more mobile quarterback gives us more options." Korn received a medical har

e is just 3-13 ATS in its last 16 games as a home underdog. History aside, the mentality of this football team is miles ahead of past Duke clubs. The Blue Devils, who won their first conference game (31-3 over Virginia last week) since upsetting Clemson in 2004, are 1-0 in league play for the first time since 1994. Coincidentally, that was the last time they went to a bowl game. New head coach David Cutcliffe has the Blue Devils believing in themselves, and no hole is too great to escape from.

Those two teams have played 65 games all-time, and the 41 points marked the most ever scored by the Tide against the 'Dawgs. Alabama crushed Clemson to open the season and rolled over Arkansas a couple of weeks ago, so it isn't as if the 5-0 record has been achieved against weak competition. The Crimson Tide owns a commanding 33-2-1 advantage in the all-time series with Kentucky, and the two
