CFTop10 Week 7 Top Ten Teams

Week 7 Top Ten Teams

1. Oklahoma
Why: Still playing the strongest ball of any team on a consistent basis.
Why Not: Still haven't played a team with any kind of defense, most without any real offense either. They won't face a top defense all year until a bowl game. Maybe.

2. Alabama
Why: Beat top teams on the road.
Why Not: Struggled with a sub-par Kentucky team. The teams they've beaten haven't proved their really good.

3. Missouri
Why: Massive offense, very productive and showing some balance.
Why Not: As with Oklahoma, they haven't played anyone with any sort of defense.

4. USC
Why: The destruction of Oregon (without Rey Rey) shows they truly are a championship caliber team. The Oregon State game was an aberration.
Why Not: Oregon State. They still overlook opponents.

5. Penn State
Why: Great balance. Play with fire.
Why Not: They show some weakness against physical opponents. They might struggle against some Big10 defenses.

6. Texas
Why: They've rolled up some nice numbers. Colt McCoy is making plays under duress. Good news for Texas.
Why Not: Like the other Big12 teams though they haven't played against a defense.

7. LSU
Why: Unbeaten so far. Done a very nice job picking up wins.
Why Not: No quality opponents so far. Auburn has proven they aren't a good team this year.

8. Ohio State
Why: They are getting better as the season goes on. Wells and Pryor are going to make a showing of it in the Big10.
Why Not: They have not been steady or explosive. Defense isn't as good as advertised.

9. BYU
Why: High powered offense with remarkable balance considering their style.
Why Not: Don't know about their defense and they have no quality opponents.

10. Texas Tech
Why: Shear numbers. They are putting up some astounding yards on offense. They keep teams on their heels with their offense. Harrell is the real deal in a gimmick offense. He would thrive anywhere.
Why Not: They've played no one. They've played no strong defense.
