College Football: Power Ranking All 120 FBS Teams Heading into Week 7

0 of 120

    Another week of college football has come and gone and the major contenders truly flexed their muscles as everyone who played in the top 10 won by double digits.

    Both LSU and Alabama dominated, Oklahoma roughed up Texas, Clemson and Stanford continued to roll and Boise State and Oklahoma State showed some major offensive firepower. 

    Now that we have completed six weeks of the season, we are approaching the release of the BCS rankings but before those come out, here is a look at how all 120 teams around the nation stack up. 

No. 120: New Mexico

1 of 120

    Record: 0-5

    Next Game: at Nevada

    Quick Note: After getting this past week off, the Lobos will head on the road and try to do something to turn things around. 

No. 119: UAB

2 of 120

    Record: 0-5

    Next Game: at Tulsa

    Quick Note: After holding a lead against Mississippi State, the Blazers could not hang on for long and finally lost. When they head on the road, they must get a better performance from their offense. 

No. 118: Florida Atlantic

3 of 120

    Record: 0-5

    Next Game: Western Kentucky

    Quick Note: The season continues to go poorly for the Owls as their defense has been unable to keep them in any of their games thus far. 

No. 117: Miami (Ohio)

4 of 120

    Record:1-4

    Next Game: at Kent State

    Quick Note: After four straight losses, the RedHawks finally earned a victory but head on the road to take on Kent State this week. 

No. 116: Western Kentucky

5 of 120

    Record: 1-4

    Next Game: at Florida Atlantic

    Quick Note: This past week the Hilltoppers earned their first win in style by beating Middle Tennessee in double overtime. If they can get more consistent play from their defense, they could turn things around. 

No. 115: Middle Tennessee

6 of 120

    Record: 1-4

    Next Game: at Florida Atlantic

    Quick Note: After a rough double overtime loss, Middle Tennessee gets this coming week off and will have more time to prepare for Florida Atlantic. 

No. 114: Idaho

7 of 120

    Record: 1-5

    Next Game: at New Mexico State

    Quick Note: Things continue to go poorly for the Vandals and have no appearance of getting better any time soon. 

No. 113: Akron

8 of 120

    Record: 1-5

    Next Game: Ohio

    Quick Note: After another tough loss this week, Akron gets a week off to prepare for Ohio and try and figure out a way to get their offense back on track. 

No. 112: Minnesota

9 of 120

    Record: 1-5

    Next Game: Nebraska

    Quick Note: In the past two weeks, the Gophers have been outscored 103-17 and appear to be in for a long season. 

No. 111: Indiana

10 of 120

    Record: 1-5

    Next Game: at Wisconsin

    Quick Note: After a loss to Illinois, Indiana gets to head on the road and play Wisconsin. Ouch. 

No. 110: Boston College

11 of 120

    Record: 1-5

    Next Game: at Virginia Tech

    Quick Note: The best news that Boston College could get is they have a bye week, although it is followed up by a trip to play the Hokies. 

No. 109: Arizona

12 of 120

    Record: 1-5

    Next Game: UCLA

    Quick Note: Things have hit rock bottom for Arizona after they lost to a winless Oregon State team. With a bye week upon them, change is in order. 

No. 108: Colorado

13 of 120

    Record: 1-5

    Next Game: at Washington

    Quick Note: Like most teams, Colorado got a rude awakening against Stanford and won't have time to recover as they go on the road to take on Washington. 

No. 107: Oregon State

14 of 120

    Record: 1-4

    Next Game: BYU

    Quick Note: After a miserable start to the season, the Beavers offense has finally arrived and helped them earn their first win of the year. 

No. 106: UNLV

15 of 120

    Record: 1-4

    Next Game: at Wyoming 

    Quick Note: After being shutout by Nevada, UNLV has to feel that it cannot go much worse when they head on the road to take on Wyoming. 

No. 105: Memphis

16 of 120

    Record: 1-5

    Next Game: East Carolina

    Quick Note: The challenges on offense continue to cost Memphis and it will not get easier as they face East Carolina this week. 

No. 104: UL Monroe

17 of 120

    Record: 1-4

    Next Game: at Troy

    Quick Note: After an early season win, UL Monroe has dropped three straight and cannot get things going on offense. 

No. 103: East Carolina

18 of 120

    Record: 1-4

    Next Game: at Memphis

    Quick Note: After a rough loss to Houston, East Carolina needs to put together a better game plan and take care of Memphis. 

No. 102: Kent State

19 of 120

    Record: 1-5

    Next Game: Miami of Ohio

    Quick Note: In their five losses, Kent State has only managed to score 39 points. If they hope to get things turned around, the offense needs to figure things out. 

No. 101: Louisiana Tech

20 of 120

    Record: 2-4

    Next Game: at Utah State

    Quick Note: After a huge win on the road, Louisiana Tech gets a week off and will look to put together back-to-back wins against Utah State.

No. 100: North Texas

21 of 120

    Record: 2-4

    Next Game: UL Lafayette

    Quick Note: North Texas has now earned their second victory in three games and if their defense continues to perform well, they will make it three out of four. 

No. 99: Buffalo

22 of 120

    Record: 2-4

    Next Game: at Temple

    Quick Note: This past week Buffalo earned a huge win over Ohio and will look to keep that momentum going this week at Temple. 

No. 98: Rice

23 of 120

    Record: 2-3

    Next Game: at Marshall

    Quick Note: Both the offense and defense looked good this past week against Memphis and will have a good chance of getting to .500 against Marshall. 

No. 97: Marshall

24 of 120

    Record: 2-4

    Next Game: Rice

    Quick Note: Marshall has not been able to get their offense on track this year and if they hope to win any more games, they will need to give their defense some help. 

No. 96: Army

25 of 120

    Record: 2-4

    Next Game: at Vanderbilt

    Quick Note: The key this year has been the Army defense. If the defense can show up against Vanderbilt, they will have a chance at earning a win. 

No. 95: Tulane

26 of 120

    Record: 2-4

    Next Game: UTEP

    Quick Note: The Green Wave are currently riding a three game losing streak in which their defense cannot make the stops when they need them most. 

No. 94: Connecticut

27 of 120

    Record: 2-4

    Next Game: South Florida

    Quick Note: The Big East schedule did not get off to a great start for the Huskies and a game against South Florida will not be much easier. 

No. 93: San Jose State

28 of 120

    Record: 2-4

    Next Game: Hawaii

    Quick Note: After winning two straight, a loss to BYU brought that to an end and a game against Hawaii will make things difficult to turn things around. 

No. 92: Central Michigan

29 of 120

    Record: 2-4

    Next Game: Eastern Michigan

    Quick Note: The Chips defense continues to struggle and so does the team. A game against rival Eastern Michigan should bring out the best in them. 

No. 91: Kentucky

30 of 120

    Record: 2-4

    Next Game: Jacksonville State

    Quick Note: So far things have not gone well in the SEC for Kentucky with them losing three straight. They will get a bye this week and then have Jacksonville State on the schedule. 

No. 90: New Mexico State

31 of 120

    Record: 2-3

    Next Game: Idaho

    Quick Note: New Mexico State got this past week off and now will have a chance to get back to the .500 mark when they take on Idaho. 

No. 89: Eastern Michigan

32 of 120

    Record: 3-3

    Next Game: at Central Michigan

    Quick Note: This past week, the Eagles got beat up by Toledo. Eastern Michigan must turn their attention now to in-state rival Central Michigan and hope to get back to winning. 

No. 88: Tulsa

33 of 120

    Record: 2-3

    Next Game: UAB

    Quick Note: Tulsa went into their bye week on a win and after getting extra time to prepare for UAB, they will look to take advantage of the Blazers. 

No. 87: Kansas

34 of 120

    Record: 2-3

    Next Game: Oklahoma

    Quick Note: As if giving up 70 to Oklahoma State wasn't bad enough, Kansas gets to take on Oklahoma this week. 

No. 86: Fresno State

35 of 120

    Record: 2-4

    Next Game: Utah State

    Quick Note: Pat Hill and Fresno State have not had the season they had hoped for and coming off a bad loss to Boise State, the Bulldogs will take on Utah State.

No. 85: UTEP

36 of 120

    Record: 2-3

    Next Game: at Tulane

    Quick Note: After getting over two weeks to prepare for this game, it may take UTEP too long to shake off the rust and give Tulane an opportunity to earn a win. 

No. 84: Troy

37 of 120

    Record: 2-3

    Next Game: UL Monroe

    Quick Note: Troy had a two game winning streak broken by UL Lafayette but hopes to get right back on the winning track against UL Monroe. 

No. 83: Northwestern

38 of 120

    Record: 2-3

    Next Game: at Iowa

    Quick Note: A 2-0 start has been erased by three straight losses and a road game at Iowa is one of the last things the Wildcats want at this point. 

No. 82: Ole Miss

39 of 120

    Record: 2-3

    Next Game: Alabama

    Quick Note: Following a win over Fresno State, Ole Miss had this past week off but that will likely not help them against the Crimson Tide. 

No. 81: Louisville

40 of 120

    Record: 2-3

    Next Game: at Cincinnati

    Quick Note: After a 2-1 start to the year, Louisville has dropped two straight and have to head on the road to Cincinnati to bring the slide to an end. 

No. 80: Northern Illinois

41 of 120

    Record: 3-3

    Next Game: Western Michigan

    Quick Note: The Huskies have climbed back up to the .500 mark and a home game against Western Michigan provides them with an opportunity to go to 4-3. 

No. 79: Utah State

42 of 120

    Record: 2-3

    Next Game: at Fresno State

    Quick Note: After winning big this past week, Utah State will be taking on a Fresno State team that just got hammered by Boise State. 

No. 78: Colorado State

43 of 120

    Record: 3-2

    Next Game: Boise State

    Quick Note: Coming off a loss to San Jose State, the Rams had a bye week to prepare for Boise State but with Kellen Moore it may not matter. 

No. 77: Bowling Green

44 of 120

    Record: 3-3

    Next Game: Toledo

    Quick Note: After a promising 3-1 start, Bowling Green has slipped to 3-3 and will need both sides of the ball to play better against Toledo. 

No. 76: NC State

45 of 120

    Record: 3-3

    Next Game: at Virginia

    Quick Note: The Wolf Pack head into their bye week with a win over Central Michigan and will have time to prepare for a road game against Virginia. 

No. 75: Mississippi State

46 of 120

    Record: 3-3

    Next Game: South Carolina

    Quick Note: While the Bulldogs won this past week, it wasn't pretty. The offense must get better if they hope to be a factor in the SEC. 

No. 74: Nevada

47 of 120

    Record: 2-3

    Next Game: New Mexico

    Quick Note: This past week the Wolf Pack had their best game on both sides of the ball and should have no issue repeating that effort against New Mexico. 

No. 73: Duke

48 of 120

    Record: 3-2

    Next Game: Florida State

    Quick Note: After getting a bye week to enjoy their three game win streak, Duke will take on a Florida State team that is struggling but still bring a lot of talent to the field. 

No. 72: Virginia

49 of 120

    Record: 3-2

    Next Game: Georgia Tech

    Quick Note: Virginia had a bye this past week and hopefully have used that time to prepare for a tough to stop Georgia Tech offense. 

No. 71: Utah

50 of 120

    Record: 2-3

    Next Game: at Pitt

    Quick Note: Conference play has not treated the Utes well. In the Pac-12, Utah is 0-3, so maybe it is a good thing they are playing Pitt this week. 

No. 70: Navy

51 of 120

    Record: 2-3 

    Next Game: at Rutgers

    Quick Note: Since a 2-0 start, things have gone wrong for the Midshipmen and they hope to get that turned around against Rutgers this week. 

No. 69: Miami

52 of 120

    Record: 2-3

    Next Game: at North Carolina

    Quick Note: The up and down season of the Hurricanes continues. After a tough loss against Virginia Tech, Miami must turn things around against North Carolina. 

No. 68: Ball State

53 of 120

    Record: 3-3

    Next Game: at Ohio

    Quick Note: In the past two weeks, Ball State has been outscored 104-6 and must figure something out before their game against Ohio.

No. 67: Maryland

54 of 120

    Record: 2-3

    Next Game: Clemson

    Quick Note: Maryland played well against Georgia Tech this past week but just could not get that score that would put them ahead. Things will get worse as the Terps take on Clemson this week. 

No. 66: Toledo

55 of 120

    Record: 3-3

    Next Game: at Bowling Green

    Quick Note: After some tough luck early in the year, Toledo is back to .500 and will head on the road to Bowling Green this week.  

No. 65: Purdue

56 of 120

    Record: 3-2

    Next Game: at Penn State

    Quick Note: Purdue is another team that has been up and down and a game at Happy Valley will not help the Boilermakers in their attempt to win back-to-back games. 

No. 64: UCLA

57 of 120

    Record: 3-3

    Next Game: at Arizona

    Quick Note: UCLA was able to bounce back after a loss to Stanford by beating Washington State. They will have a little bit more time to prepare for an Arizona team that looks lost and defeated. 

No. 63: Pittsburgh

58 of 120

    Record: 3-3

    Next Game: Utah

    Quick Note: After an outstanding win over South Florida, Pitt followed it up with a stinker against Rutgers and will face a tough Utah team this week.

No. 62: Hawaii

59 of 120

    Record: 3-2

    Next Game: at San Jose State 

    Quick Note: After two straight wins, the Warriors got this past week off and will resume play with a road game they should win against San Jose State.

No. 61: Missouri

60 of 120

    Record: 2-3

    Next Game: Iowa State

    Quick Note: Two straight losses have dropped the Tigers to 2-3. They must put that behind them and find their offense against Iowa State this week. 

No. 60: UCF

61 of 120

    Record: 3-2

    Next Game: at SMU

    Quick Note: Behind a solid defensive performance, UCF beat Marshall and will look to use the same blueprint against SMU. 

No. 59: Arkansas State

62 of 120

    Record: 4-2

    Next Game: FIU

    Quick Note: The Red Wolves continue to beat the teams that they should and on a long week, they will have some extra time to get ready for FIU.

No. 58: Western Michigan

63 of 120

    Record: 4-2

    Next Game: at Northern Illinois

    Quick Note: Western Michigan has done well so far this year and has won four out of their past five games and will head on the road to play the Huskies. 

No. 57: Ohio

64 of 120

    Record: 4-2

    Next Game: Ball State

    Quick Note: Ohio is coming off of a tough one-point road loss to Buffalo. They need to refocus and play up to their abilities against a Ball State team that is struggling as well. 

No. 56: Wyoming

65 of 120

    Record: 3-2

    Next Game: UNLV

    Quick Note: Since a 3-0 start, the Cowboys offense and defense have both struggled but should get back to what was working against UNLV. 

No. 55: Air Force

66 of 120

    Record: 3-2

    Next Game: San Diego State

    Quick Note: Air Force got roughed up this past week at Notre Dame and will go against another good offense at home. It will be interesting to see how the Falcons defense responds. 

No. 54: Vanderbilt

67 of 120

    Record: 3-2

    Next Game: Georgia

    Quick Note: While Vanderbilt got off to a quick start this year, two games against top talent have dropped them to 3-2 and it does not get easier as they take on Georgia next. 

No. 53: Washington State

68 of 120

    Record: 3-2

    Next Game: Stanford

    Quick Note: With a tough road loss behind them, Washington State returns home but they will be going up against Andrew Luck and Stanford. 

No. 52: FIU

69 of 120

    Record: 4-2

    Next Game: at Arkansas State

    Quick Note: FIU got themselves back on the winning track as they broke a two game losing streak by winning at Akron. They will need the same kind of performance as they play Arkansas State on the road. 

No. 51: UL Lafayette

70 of 120

    Record: 5-1

    Next Game: North Texas

    Quick Note: After a Week 1 loss to Oklahoma State, UL Lafayette has rattled off five straight wins and will look to make it six this week. 

No. 50: Ohio State

71 of 120

    Record: 3-3

    Next Game: at Illinois

    Quick Note: Now with back-to-back losses, including blowing a big lead against Nebraska, the Buckeyes stay on the road to face Illinois, a team that has the talent to push Ohio State's losing streak to three. 

No. 49: Iowa State

72 of 120

    Record: 3-2

    Next Game: at Missouri

    Quick Note: After a great start to the year, Iowa State has dropped two straight and are in danger of making it three when they head on the road to play Missouri. 

No. 48: Cal

73 of 120

    Record: 3-2

    Next Game: USC

    Quick Note: While Cal did keep things close against Oregon for a half, they could not keep up with them in the second half and they will face another high powered offense this week when USC comes to town. 

No. 47: Temple

74 of 120

    Record: 4-2

    Next Game: Buffalo

    Quick Note: After a disappointing loss to Toledo, Temple responded well by beating Ball State 42-0 and now have Buffalo in their sights. 

No. 46: San Diego State

75 of 120

    Record: 3-2

    Next Game: at Air Force

    Quick Note: In the two straight losses the Aztecs have had, their offense has failed to put up points consistently. They will need them this week as Air Force has had no issues scoring. 

No. 45: Tennessee

76 of 120

    Record: 3-2

    Next Game: LSU

    Quick Note: In a pivotal game against Georgia, the Vols came up short and now face games against LSU, Alabama and South Carolina.  

No. 44: Syracuse

77 of 120

    Record: 4-2

    Next Game: West Virginia

    Quick Note: While this season has gone well so far, the Orange have shown they are vulnerable on defense and will have their hands full against West Virginia. 

No. 43: Iowa

78 of 120

    Record: 3-2

    Next Game: Northwestern

    Quick Note: Both Iowa and Northwestern are coming off of disappointing losses and need this win to keep their seasons moving in the right direction. 

No. 42: Cincinnati

79 of 120

    Record: 4-1

    Next Game: Louisville

    Quick Note: Since their loss at Tennessee, the offense and defense have been clicking and the Bearcats are rolling into their game against the Cardinals. 

No. 41: Florida State

80 of 120

    Record: 2-3

    Next Game: at Duke

    Quick Note: Things continue to spiral out of control for the Seminoles as they have lost three straight games. This weeks game against Duke should bring that streak to an end. 

No. 40: BYU

81 of 120

    Record: 4-2

    Next Game: Oregon State

    Quick Note: After a bad loss to Utah, BYU has gone on to win three straight games, led by some solid defensive performances. A home date against the Beavers is a very winnable game. 

No. 39: Rutgers

82 of 120

    Record: 4-1

    Next Game: Navy

    Quick Note: Very quietly and surprisingly, the Scarlet Knights have gone 4-1 and have been extremely competitive. This week they will be challenged by the Navy rushing attack. 

No. 38: Wake Forest

83 of 120

    Record: 4-1

    Next Game: Virginia Tech

    Quick Note: Another surprising team is Wake Forest who has gone 4-1 and is fresh off a victory over the Seminoles. A win over the Hokies could really get some peoples attention. 

No. 37: TCU

84 of 120

    Record: 4-2

    Next Game: New Mexico

    Quick Note: After a stunning home loss to SMU, TCU rebounded nicely on both offense and defense against San Diego State. They should have no issues against New Mexico this week.

No. 36: Washington

85 of 120

    Record: 4-1

    Next Game: Colorado

    Quick Note: This past week the Huskies enjoyed a week off and get back into action against Colorado. This is a game they should win assuming they don't look past them and to Stanford. 

No. 35: SMU

86 of 120

    Record: 4-1

    Next Game: UCF

    Quick Note: With their bye week behind them, SMU must put their win against TCU behind them and make sure they put in that same effort against UCF. 

No. 34: Southern Miss

87 of 120

    Record: 5-1

    Next Game: SMU

    Quick Note: As long as this offense is clicking, Southern Miss will keep on rolling. They have this week off and will take time to prepare for SMU next week. 

No. 33: North Carolina

88 of 120

    Record: 5-1

    Next Game:  Miami

    Quick Note: The schedule will now start to pick up for North Carolina as they take on Miami, Clemson and Wake Forest. 

No. 32: Texas Tech

89 of 120

    Record: 4-1 

    Next Game: Kansas State

    Quick Note: After a 4-0 start to the year, the Red Raiders suffered their first loss against Texas A&M and will be going up against a surprisingly difficult Wildcat team. 

No. 31: Notre Dame

90 of 120

    Record: 4-2

    Next Game: USC

    Quick Note: Since putting their 0-2 start behind them, the Irish have won four straight and will have two weeks to get prepared for the Trojans. 

No. 30: Texas A&M

91 of 120

    Record: 3-2

    Next Game: Baylor

    Quick Note: It has been an up-and-down season for the Aggies as they got back on track with a win over Texas Tech this past week. Baylor comes to town this week and the Aggies defense will have their hands full with Robert Griffin. 

No. 29: Georgia

92 of 120

    Record: 4-2

    Next Game: at Vanderbilt

    Quick Note: After losing their first two games of the year, Georgia has rebounded with four straight wins and take to the road this week against Vanderbilt. 

No. 28: USC

93 of 120

    Record: 4-1

    Next Game: at Cal

    Quick Note: Before heading on the road to take on the Irish, USC has a game at Cal and should be able to get to 5-1 on their way to South Bend. 

No. 27: Penn State

94 of 120

    Record: 5-1

    Next Game: Purdue

    Quick Note: While the schedule has not been difficult, Penn State has taken care of business and have had a very impressive first half of the season. 

No. 26: South Florida

95 of 120

    Record: 4-1

    Next Game: at Connecticut

    Quick Note: After getting blasted a week ago, South Florida had this past weekend off and will hopefully not be rusty as they stay on the road and play the Huskies. 

No. 25: Auburn

96 of 120

    Record: 4-2

    Next Game: Florida

    Quick Note: After a loss to Arkansas, Auburn heads home to take on Florida. This game features both teams at 4-2 and will be a huge win either way it goes. 

No. 24: Michigan State

97 of 120

    Record: 4-1

    Next Game: Michigan

    Quick Note: With a week off to prepare, Michigan State takes on rival Michigan in a game that the Spartans have dominated as of late. It will be interesting to watch considering the Wolverines schedule to this point has been extremely light. 

No. 23: Houston

98 of 120

    Record: 6-0

    Next Game: Marshall

    Quick Note: With Case Keenum healthy and leading the offense, Houston has been hard to beat and have a week off here at the midway mark of the season.

No. 22: Baylor

99 of 120

    Record: 4-1

    Next Game: Texas A&M

    Quick Note: This will truly be a statement game for the Bears. After a tough loss to Kansas State, they rebounded with a win over Iowa State and have a huge opportunity to prove themselves this week. 

No. 21: Kansas State

100 of 120

    Record: 5-0

    Next Game: at Texas Tech

    Quick Note: The surprising roll that Kansas State has been on continues as they took down Missouri and will now head on the road to take on the Red Raiders.  

No. 20: Florida

101 of 120

    Record: 4-2

    Next Game: at Auburn

    Quick Note: After a great start to the year, the schedule has picked up in a hurry and Florida has suffered back-to-back losses to Alabama and Florida and get Auburn on the road this week. 

No. 19: Texas

102 of 120

    Record: 4-1

    Next Game: Oklahoma State

    Quick Note: Much like Florida, Texas started out great but back-to-back games will likely tell us more about this team. This past week they were blown out by Oklahoma and now face Oklahoma State.

No. 18: Illinois

103 of 120

    Record: 6-0

    Next Game: Ohio State

    Quick Note: Before the season started, not many would have guessed that Illinois would be 6-0 but they have surprised many and have a great shot at beating an Ohio State team that is struggling big time. 

No. 17: Arizona State

104 of 120

    Record: 5-1

    Next Game: at Oregon

    Quick Note: After another conference win, they Sun Devils will face their biggest test of the year as they head on the road to take on the Ducks. 

No. 16: Virginia Tech

105 of 120

    Record: 5-1

    Next Game: at Wake Forest

    Quick Note: After surviving a close game against Miami, Virginia Tech remains in the hunt in the ACC but will be facing a Wake Forest team that just beat Florida State. 

No. 15: Michigan

106 of 120

    Record: 6-0

    Next Game: at Michigan State

    Quick Note: Michigan finally gets an opportunity this week to prove they belong. While they have taken care of business against teams they should beat, Michigan State will challenge them and show us how good the Wolverines are. 

No. 14: South Carolina

107 of 120

    Record: 5-1

    Next Game: at Mississippi State

    Quick Note: After a change at quarterback, South Carolina came out and dominated Kentucky this past week. They will look for more of the same this week against the Bulldogs. 

No. 13: Nebraska

108 of 120

    Record: 5-1

    Next Game: at Minnesota

    Quick Note: After one half against Ohio State, it was looking like the Huskers wanted to find a way out of the Big 10 but a big comeback should give them confidence, especially against a team like Minnesota. 

No. 12: Georgia Tech

109 of 120

    Record: 6-0

    Next Game: at Virginia

    Quick Note: Against Maryland this past week, Georgia Tech struggled on offense but pulled out a win. This coming week the Yellow Jackets head on the road and should go to 7-0 after playing Virginia. 

No. 11: West Virginia

110 of 120

    Record: 5-1

    Next Game: at Syracuse

    Quick Note: After dropping a game to LSU, West Virginia has responded with two straight wins and get a bye this week before heading to Syracuse for a conference road game. 

No. 10: Arkansas

111 of 120

    Record: 5-1

    Next Game: at Ole Miss

    Quick Note: While they may not be on the same level as LSU or Alabama, Arkansas is playing extremely well and will get a shot at LSU at the end of the year. 

No. 9: Oregon

112 of 120

    Record: 4-1

    Next Game: Arizona State

    Quick Note: While Oregon won big over Cal, they did lose LaMichael James to a dislocated elbow. The question now is how long?

    Despite the loss, ASU and College Gameday come to town for a huge conference game this week. 

No. 8: Boise State

113 of 120

    Record: 5-0

    Next Game: at Colorado State

    Quick Note: While the Broncos keep on winning, the teams they are playing are not quality teams which will once again be the sticking point with Boise State. All they can hope is Georgia keeps on winning. 

No. 7: Wisconsin

114 of 120

    Record: 5-0

    Next Game: Indiana

    Quick Note: Wisconsin got this past week off and heads back to the field against Indiana. The Badgers need to remain focused on this game as they have the Spartans in East Lansing next week. 

No. 6: Clemson

115 of 120

    Record: 6-0

    Next Game: at Maryland

    Quick Note: Clemson keeps on winning and it appears that they will be 8-0 going into the game at Georgia Tech. Right now, Clemson has the best resume outside of LSU.

No. 5: Oklahoma State

116 of 120

    Record: 5-0

    Next Game: at Texas

    Quick Note: Based on the way that Oklahoma State played this past week, there is no reason this team should not be undefeated when they play the Sooners.

No. 4: Stanford

117 of 120

    Record: 5-0

    Next Game: at Washington State

    Quick Note: As expected, Andrew Luck continues to navigate the Cardinal through the easy part of their schedule, which continues this week against the Cougars. 

No. 3: Oklahoma

118 of 120

    Record: 5-0

    Next Game: at Kansas

    Quick Note: Based on what the Sooners did to Texas and what Oklahoma State did to Kansas, this game could get ugly.

No. 2: Alabama

119 of 120

    Record: 6-0

    Next Game: at Ole Miss

    Quick Note: The Crimson Tide keep rolling along and the defense is scary. So far this season, Alabama has only given up 42 total points. 

No. 1: LSU

120 of 120

    Record: 6-0

    Next Game: at Tennessee

    Quick Note: With the Gators in town, LSU put together another outstanding performance and all signs point to an amazing matchup between the Tigers and Tide at the start of November.
