Lucky 13 week 6

1. Oklahoma - looked dominate as ever...if they go 11-0 in the regular season could we argue this being one of the best teams EVER?
2. Missouri - That win in Lincoln was incredible. They absolutely killed a decent UN team on the road...one of the biggest statement games of the year.
3. Texas - Dominated a decent Colorado team on the road before the biggest game of the year for them...something the "almighty" Trojans couldn't do, and they were #1.
4. 'Bama - Right now they are the best team in the SEC, although they're "let up" after the biggest win of the season so far was a little to big for me to keep them top 2.
5. TTU - Followed suit in the Big-12 in that they creamed a potential "trap-game" opponent. They do give up a team's average in pts allowed, will that haunt them later?
6. LSU - I drop them mostly because the Big-12 was so awesome on Saturday. The Tigers are definitely good, but their win against Auburn is going to look worse and worse so I feel that this game against UF is a must win for them to stay in the upper echelon of teams.
7. BYU - After jumping ahead 24-0 after the first quarter, the Cougars hit the "off" switch and it was still enough to win by 20 on the road. They need to improve their road play if they want to make a BCS game though...they have to play AT TCU, UT and AF still!
8. Penn St. - Beating Purdue on the road was nice...although it did make them look human after absolutely killing everyone.
9. Utah - Continue to beat good teams, who happen to upset ranked opponents which is great for their SOS. Showed toughness in their comeback (something USC couldn't do) but also showed some flaws...which team will prevail?
10. Vanderbilt - Great win for the program. Auburn is SOOOO overrated it's sick, but these kind of wins will create confidence and the belief in their players. They won't win the SEC but they'll surely cause havoc! (and deserve some credit for what they've done so far)
11. OSU - Beating a conference rival on the road is always a huge plus (even if they are horribly overrated), especially when you consider Pryor's psyche and confidence.
12. USC - They looked like their dominate selves again against Oregon...but why does it take poor performance to motivate them? Would they win in a rematch with OSU right now with Wells back and Pryor gaining confidence each week? I doubt it!
13. OkSt. - I don't think Mizzou thought this game next week would be so hard. I think the first to 60 wins! This should be a fun game to watch, I think Missouri wins, but OkSt is demolishing everything in their path right now and confident that while they probably won't win the Big 12 they'll probably have a big say in who does.
