The Florida State Seminoles may have won the battle against Notre Dame on Sunday night, however it looks like the SEC won the war this week in the most recent top 25 poll.

Four of the first five teams in the poll are from the best conference in the country. Florida State remains second overall and lost some momentum with the votes, even though Mississippi State had the week off and the team beat the fifth team in the country.

According to ESPN.com, the four teams in the top five spots is a milestone of sorts and shows how dominant the SEC, especially the SEC West, has been this season.

Mississippi State stayed No. 1 after a weekend off. The Atlantic Coast Conference's Florida State held its ground at No. 2 after beating then-No. 5 Notre Dame 31-27.

Ole Miss remains No. 3. Alabama jumped three spots to No. 4 after a 59-0 victory against Texas A&M. Auburn moved up a spot to No. 5 during a bye week, taking advantage of losses by previously unbeaten Notre Dame and Baylor.

The Irish dropped two spots to seventh. Baylor fell to No. 12 after losing 41-27 at West Virginia.

Thirty times since 2001 a conference has placed three teams in the top five of the AP Top 25. The SEC had done it 16 times since 2009.

The Seminoles (7-0, 4-0 ACC) control their own destiny, however, as no currently ranked teams remain on the schedule.

The Seminoles won their 23rd straight game in a row. Florida State is now only one of three undefeated teams in the country, along with Mississippi State and Mississippi.

No. 1 Mississippi State and No. 3 Ole Miss have at least two more games against ranked teams. The Bulldogs and Rebels face each other in the regular-season finale in the Egg Bowl, so one is guaranteed to end the season with a loss.

Florida State was on the outside looking in last season before Ohio State lost last season to Michigan State in the regular season, opening the door for the Seminoles. Auburn also jumped into the picture last season for the national title game when the Tigers beat Alabama in the final regular season game for both schools.

"You can say whatever you want: This team is dominant,'' FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said after beating Notre Dame." This team understands how to win. ... This team has tremendous what I call 'adversity tolerance.' It doesn't flinch. It can deal with anything.''

So by now you've filled all of your other spots and you're down to the FLEX spot.  If you've got any amount around or over $5000 you've got plenty of options, so let's make it a little more difficult and assume you only have $3,000, which is the minimum amount for any position player.  If you are in this situation you should have some very solid guys at the other positions.  There are quite a few options so I'm going to hit on each of them quickly.  All of these guys are $3,000.

Khiry Robinson  

Robinson has had some great games and just hasn't found the end zone.  This might be the last game before Mark Ingram comes back which could be more motivation for Robinson to do well.

Lorenzo Taliaferro

Who knows what's going on with the Ravens running back situation.  But Taliaferro is a part of it and he looks to be the most athletic of the bunch.  If Bernard Pierce is out, Taliaferro will get some good opportunities.

Jeremy Hill

Hill will take a back seat to Gio Bernard unless Bernard gets hurt, but that doesn't mean Hill can't be valuable for you.  The Bengals will likely try and do what the Chiefs just did to the Patriots and that means more opportunity for Hill.

Darrin Reaves

This is strictly a pick based on the volume that this player will get.  He's going to start in the Panthers backfield and will get his touches.  This should be a high scoring game and somebody has to run the ball for the Panthers.

Allen Robinson

Jacksonville will be playing catch up all day and somebody will have to catch the ball.  Bortles doesn't look bad and the Jags should be able to score some points against the Steelers.

Odell Beckham Jr.

Make sure he's active and if he is he might do something for you.  The Giants have figured out some things lately and the weak Atlanta defense will do whatever they can (which won't be much) to stop Victor Cruz and Rueben Randle which should leave Beckham with some chances.

Andre Williams

Atlanta is terrible against the run and although Williams doesn't get as many chances as Rashad Jennings he should get some and could break off a few good runs.

Alfred Blue

If Arian Foster is out, Blue is a RB2, at worst, for $3000.

Luke Wilson

Wilson moves into the lineup with the injury to Zach Miller.  Russell Wilson will find him if he needs him.  Could score.

Legarratte Blount

Won't get the bulk of the carries, but could do well with the carries he does get against the terrible run defense of Jacksonville.

Travis Kelce

Don't know if you want to fill your FLEX spot with a tight end, but the price on this guy is ridiculous.  He's easily a TE1 for the rest of the year.  The Chiefs have to get him the ball to have a chance to win. 

Clay Harbor

Another TE, Harbor caught all eight passes thrown to him last week and Jacksonville will be playing catch up all day.

Miles Austin

Has caught a touchdown each of the last two weeks.

If you've waited to pick your defense last, you might have to do some searching and have a little luck.  Let's look at a worst case scenario and assume you have less than $2500 left to spend on your defense.

Kansas City Chiefs  $2300

One advantage you'll have by picking the Chiefs is that not many people are going to have them in their lineup. Although San Francisco hasn't been the San Fran of old, their name and recent success over the past few years will keep most people away from the Chiefs defense.  But it's not all bad news for the Chiefs.  So far the Chiefs have held every quarterback they've faced to less than 270 yards.  And while they've faced some less than stellar talent at QB, they have faced Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.  Manning threw three touchdowns on them, but Colin Kaepernick is no Peyton Manning.  They've also been decent against wide receivers, allowing only one touchdown a game to opposing WR's.  They've only had two WR's to go for more than 100 yards against them (Emmanuel Sanders and Brandon LaFell).  They've been even better against running backs, not allowing any RB touchdowns whether receiving or running.  Lamar Miller is the only RB to go over 100 yards against them.  While they have allowed four tight end touchdowns, they keep their yardage low.  Through four games the Chiefs have allowed 26 points versus the Titans (fluke game), 24 versus Denver, 15 versus Miami, and 14 versus the Patriots. Kaepernick has also been sacked 10 times and have thrown the ball to the other team four times.  The Chiefs are heading in the right direction and you could do worse.

And that's it!  There is absolutely no one else I would want at less then $2500.  The Jets may be worth a look, as Rex Ryan has had moderate success in defending Philip Rivers and the Jets run defense is legit.  But I don't want to go against Rivers as hot as he is right now.  Baltimore might be an option, but not against Andrew Luck.  So if you have to go with someone who is this cheap, the Chiefs are your best bet.

Once you get down to your last roster spot you feel like if you can make this last pick a good one that you've got a head up on the competition.  When it comes to wide receivers, there are more options at this position than any other.  While you won't be able to pick up the top tier WR's with less than $6,000, you can still pick a very solid fantasy producer with your last pick.

Vincent Jackson  $5900

At just under $6000 Jackson could make for an under-owned, sleeper pick.  There will definitely be people who pass on him, due to his lack of production so far on the season.  His week was saved last Sunday with the game winning touchdown.  But don't discount the possibilities with Jackson in your lineup.  He has been targeted at least seven times in every game this season with a game high 10 targets from new starting quarteback Mike Glennon, who he has a great history and rapport with.  Also remember that Mike Evans is nursing an injury and could miss this game, leaving Jackson with more responsibility and opportunity.  For New Orleans part they haven't done much to stop opposing number one wide outs.  They are 28th against opposing wide receivers and have given up big numbers to players like Julio Jones (7/166), Roddy White (5/72/1), and Terrence Williams (6/77/2).

Brian Quick  $5900

Also at $5900 is the Rams number one receiver, Quick.  Quick will be facing the Philadelphia Eagles who are even worse than the Saints at containg opposing WR's.  This should be a high scoring game and if St. Louis is going to stay in it someone is going to have to score some points and Quick will have to be a part of the action. Quick had nine targets in Weeks 1 and 2 for 99 and 74 yards respectively, but only four targets in Week 3 for 62 yards and a touchdown.  The Rams are coming off their bye week which should allow Quick to be well rested for this game.  The Eagles have had three opposing receivers to go over 100 yards in a game and each of those players scored at least one touchdown.

Marques Colston  $5400

At $500 less than the previous two players, Colston could have a big day.  Playing against the worst team against opposing wide outs, Colston will look to find yards and the end zone.  Colston's productivity has fluctuated from week to week, but he will get targets and he has scored once already.  The Bucs have given up two 100+ yard games to opposing WR's and each of them scored twice.  Other receivers that they have played have racked up nice yardage.  The key here is to find the Saints receiver who will be the number one receiver for Drew Brees on Sunday which is easier said than done.

All three of these players are usable, but I would go with Jackson.  His upside is increased with Glennon under center and if Evans is out he will have to step his game up even more.  He is getting the targets and is a big target himself.  What's even better is that this game will likely be a shootout.  Expect Jackson to have his biggest game of the season.

Once you get down to your last roster spot you feel like if you can make this last pick a good one that you've got a head up on the competition.  When it comes to running backs, it helps if you can really nail both spots with solid players.  While you won't be able to pick up the top tier RB's with less than $7,000, you can still pick a very solid fantasy producer with your last pick.

Giovanni Bernard  $6700

Bernard is the first running back on the board for under $7,000 and he's got a lot going in his favor. The Bengals are coming off their bye week well rested.  Their matchup is a game versus the Patriots in New England which would have scared most of us away a few years ago.  But Jamaal Charles and company put those fears to rest last night.  New England gave up over 200 all purpose yards and three touchdowns to Charles and Knile Davis and nearly did the same thing in Week 1 against Lamar Miller and Knowshon Moreno.  While Bernard isn't Jamaal Charles, he is better than any of the other running backs (besides Charles) that the Patriots have faced.  Aside from that, the Patriots will have to worry about the other offensive threats that the Bengals bring which could open some things up for Bernard.  There is a small concern that Jeremy Hill will take some production away from Bernard, but again it's very minimal.  Bernard is the lead back and will have a good day.

Andre Ellington  $5600

At $1100 less, Ellington makes for a nice choice with your last spot and might allow you to go back and upgrade at another spot.  Ellington and the Cardinals are also coming off their bye week and face a Denver Broncos team that is coming off of their bye.  Like the Bengals, the Cardinals are looking to keep their undefeated season alive.  The Broncos have given up 100+ yards each week to opposing running backs and three running back touchdowns on the season.  Unlike Bernard, Ellington is THE guy for the Cardinals.  He's not going to be sharing the load with anybody.  While he doesn't have a touchdown yet, he does have some nice yardage totals and I wouldn't be surprised to see him reach the end zone this Sunday.

After comparing these two players I think I would go with Bernard even though he is the more expensive option.  The Bengals are a running team.  They're going to run even if they're behind and their certainly going to run if they are ahead.  The Cardinals on the other hand like to see how far and how many times Carson Palmer can fling it.  Ellington should be fine, but it's much more likely that the Bengals will run the ball more than the Cardinals will.  You can't go wrong with either guy, but I would go with Bernard.

Your roster is almost set, you feel like you have a solid team that can make some noise. If only you could decide on that final spot...

One single player can make or break your fantasy week. Did you choose Antonio Gates at $4,400 for 6 points last week? Or did you save a little salary and roll with Travis Kelce for $3,700 and 23.3? Did you think it was a good idea not to draft Steve Smith Sr. at $5,600 for 35.9? Perhaps you thought you were making the right move by taking James Jones for $5,100 and 14.3? Each week, seemingly simple decisions can have a huge impact on your ability to take down a big score.

This week, a shot at ONE MILLION DOLLARS -   www.FFChamps.com/million - is on the table. How can you cut through all the noise and make the choices to help you take it down? Follow these simple steps, save some time, and get your roster where you want it to be:

• Opposing Matchup. How well or poorly does the opponent defend that particular position? Do they allow a bunch of points to that position or are they pretty stingy? Have they been playing well or preparing for the draft?

• Player Performance. How well has he been been playing? This year? Last 3 Games? Is he poised for a breakout or a non-factor in the offense?

• Targets and Touches. How big a part of the offense is he? Can I expect him to see the same workload? More or less?

• Injuries. Any injury concerns for either player? Any teammates out or coming back that could impact their playing time?

• Over/under. Does either game project to be high-scoring? If yes on one - will Player A be a big part of that? Or will he not see much action later in the game? If yes on Player A and Player B - who receives the bigger workload - i.e. targets and touches?

• Game line. Will this be a close game? Is Player A's team in risk of being blown out? Could Player B spend a lot of time grinding clock if they're up big?

• Salary. For the price I'm paying, who offers more potential? Can Player A really be worth $500 more than Player B? If I go with the lower-priced player, can I improve my roster elsewhere? If equal in price - who should have the bigger workload this week?

• Weather. Any implications I should be worried about? Is Player A playing in a dome? Will Player B suffer from the elements with projected winds of 25 mph?

• Gut. When you can answer all of the above questions and you're still torn, go with your gut. Could be right, could be wrong but you will feel a lot better at the end of the day when the player your gut told you to take busts out for two TDs and he's on your roster.

This game can be as hard or as simple as we make it. Trust your instincts, seek out the sources and information you trust while filtering out the noise, and put together the best possible team at or under the $50,000 Salary Cap. This week, someone is taking home ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

Once you get down to your last roster spot you feel like if you can make this last pick a good one that you've got a head up on the competition.  When it comes to running backs, it helps if you can really nail both spots with solid players.  While you won't be able to pick up the top tier RB's with less than $7,000, you can still pick a very solid fantasy producer with your last pick.

Giovanni Bernard  $6700

Bernard is the first running back on the board for under $7,000 and he's got a lot going in his favor. The Bengals are coming off their bye week well rested.  Their matchup is a game versus the Patriots in New England which would have scared most of us away a few years ago.  But Jamaal Charles and company put those fears to rest last night.  New England gave up over 200 all purpose yards and three touchdowns to Charles and Knile Davis and nearly did the same thing in Week 1 against Lamar Miller and Knowshon Moreno.  While Bernard isn't Jamaal Charles, he is better than any of the other running backs (besides Charles) that the Patriots have faced.  Aside from that, the Patriots will have to worry about the other offensive threats that the Bengals bring which could open some things up for Bernard.  There is a small concern that Jeremy Hill will take some production away from Bernard, but again it's very minimal.  Bernard is the lead back and will have a good day.
