The honor is decided by the 16-member panel that votes in the organization's Grantland Rice Super 16 Poll, which has also debuted this season.

Rex Grossman threw two of this three touchdown passes in a 24-point second quarter as the Gators stunned the 108,722 faithful at Neyland Stadium. On the afternoon, Grossman completed 20 of 34 passes for 324 yards.

Other teams drawing consideration this week included San Jose State, which shocked Illinois, 38-35, in Champaign; Notre Dame with its dramatic 21-17 win at Michigan State that moved the Irish to 4-0 for the first time in nine years; and 3-0 Air Force, which upset previously unbeaten Cal, 23-21, in Berkeley.

The FWAA "Team of the Week" will be announced each Monday throughout the season. The Grantland Rice Super 16 Poll, released in the preseason, will resume next Monday, Sept. 30.

The FWAA, in conjunction with the Charlotte Touchdown Club, also awards a Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week award each week.
