Just 16 unbeatens remain among the 128 teams in FBS after five wild weeks of the college football season.

That number is sure to shrink by at least one this weekend when No. 9 Tennessee, fresh off dramatic wins against Florida and Georgia, travels to No. 7 Texas A&M. The Aggies, who have started 5-0 for the third consecutive season, will hope to avoid the start of a second-half swoon that has occurred the past two years.

Also in the SEC, No. 1 Alabama gets its second tough road test of the season when it visits No. 17 Arkansas. The first trip to Mississippi started off poorly before the Crimson Tide rebounded. No doubt Nick Saban doesn't want to spot the Razorbacks a 21-point lead in Fayetteville.

The last matchup of ranked opponents will be the annual showdown between Miami (Fla.) and Florida State. The Hurricanes haven't lost in four games under new coach Mark Richt. The Seminoles will be trying to reverse their fortunes after dropping two of their last three games.
