Seven teams remain undefeated: Alabama, Oregon, Ohio State, Florida State, Baylor, Texas Tech and Missouri.
First BCS standings are released tonight. I imagine they will be, in order of rank, Alabama, Oregon, FSU, Ohio State in the top 4. Baylor should crack the top 10. Texas Tech and Missouri are both surprises.
Still half a season to go. Any of those seven gonna finish the season undefeated?? Maybe, but don't think it will be the ones most of you think it will be.
Alabama - gonna lose one. Still have to play LSU who is, undoubtedly, pissed off now after losing yesterday.
Oregon - has to still play Stanford. May or may not go undefeated.
Florida State - appears to be a powerhouse, especially the way they blew out Clemson. But was Clemson really that good? The Tigers did beat Georgia, but Georgia now appears to be only mediocre.
Ohio State - 19 in a row, but haven't looked very impressive. Will probably go undefeated, but will it be enough to make the BCS? Be hard to keep them out if they run the table - would be 25 in a row.
Baylor - would be nice, but...................
Texas Tech - no way.
Mizzou - no way.
Your thoughts?

Mizzou and Baylor!

How awesome is it that 2 of those teams are from Texas!?!

[CenTexDave]

Yeah, takes the normal positions UT and A&M used to occupy.:))

Roll Tide.
LSU won't beat Bama.

[CenTexDave]

Maybe. Maybe not.
If not, they still have to face Auburn. That'll be a butt kicker.

And my deepest apologies for fans of Northern Illinois University. They are still undefeated, and will probably finish the year that way.
They went undefeated last year also, became a BCS buster, and got blown out by Florida State in a BCS bowl. There's enough quality teams to find 8 good ones for the BCS Bowls - Rose, Fiesta, Sugar, Orange. Wish they'd add the Cotton Bowl to that list.

I counted ten undefeateds. Did I miss something?

Miami
Fresno State
Northern ILL

all remain unseated also.

[CenTexDave]

Right you are, Owl. Can I borrow your glasses next time? :)

10 undefeateds after 7 weeks of play, although some teams have only played 6 games.
That seems like an unusually high number for the end of October.
