The Week

Two independents remained unbeaten, Florida State stopping Mississippi State 17-6 and Navy downing William & Mary 24-7. Two touchdowns late in the first half helped the Seminoles to a 17-0 lead, but after being held to 50 yards in the first two periods, Mississippi got its wishbone working and led in total offense, 302 yards to 245. Still, the Bulldogs could cash in for no more than a pair of field goals. Navy's Mike Sherlock broke loose for a 59-yard scoring jaunt and 150 yards overall as the Middies triumphed.

1. ALABAMA (5-0)
2. FLORIDA STATE (6-0)
3. TENNESSEE (4-1)
