Three Weekend Observations
By Ivan Maisel, ESPN.com

1. It is interesting that Alabama and Florida are the first two SEC teams to ever go 8-0 in regular-season league play. But it may be as much a reflection on the mediocrity of the rest of the league as it is on the Gators and the Crimson Tide. If Mississippi State beats Ole Miss and Arkansas beats LSU, none of the other 10 SEC teams will finish better than 4-4 in league play.

Dalton 2. The Davey O'Brien Award announces its finalists Monday, not soon enough for the 15 semifinalists. Since that announcement last month, Cincinnati's Tony Pike, Oklahoma State's Zac Robinson and Iowa's Ricky Stanzi got hurt. Matt Barkley of USC, Jacory Harris of Miami and Jake Locker of Washington cooled off. Meanwhile, top quarterbacks Jeremiah Masoli of Oregon, Andrew Luck of Stanford and Andy Dalton of TCU aren't on the list because of slow starts.

3. Before the Pac-10's best spewed points from all over the field Saturday night, the best offense yesterday may have been the North Carolina defense. The Tar Heels scored two defensive touchdowns for the second straight week and lead the ACC in turnovers gained with 28. That's the critical stat this week as Carolina prepares to play rival North Carolina State. Last year, the Heels committed six turnovers and forced none in a 41-10 loss to the Wolfpack.
