Texas will face off with the # 1 team in the land, Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday. This game is not only going to be the game of the Big 12, but also the game of week seven, and probably of the season in the NCAA. Quarterback Colt McCoy looks to have a big game, and improve upon his 1280 yards thrown through five games.

5.  Alabama Crimson Tide (6-0) – The Crimson Tide escaped on Saturday with a 17-14 win over Kentucky. With that win Alabama remains # 5 in the polls. The 6-0 Crimson Tide will get a week off, and allow head coach Nick Saban to clean up a lot of the mistakes that hampered the Alabama attack on Saturday.

7.  USC Trojans (3-1) –  Somehow you just know Pete Carroll has a little smirk on his face knowing where his USC Trojans stand. Sure, they are not where they would rather be, after the loss to Oregon State, but continuing to hang around may prove to be very beneficial for USC at the end of the season. On Saturday, after trailing 7-0 quickly, the Trojans outscored Oregon 44-3 en route to a 44-10 win. The Trojans have been solid defensively, allowing just 47 points in four games. Quarterback Mark Sanchez, nursing an injury may miss his next start. On Saturday, the Trojans will face Arizona State at home. The Trojans remain at # 7 for the second straight week. 

8.  Texas Tech Red Raiders (5-0) – Texas Tech slides up one position after an impressive 58-28 win on Saturday over Kansas State. The Red Raiders moved ahead of idle Georgia. The Red Raiders, 5-0 overall, are 1-0 in the Big 12, and have two straight games, in which they will be the favored, and look to be sitting pretty at 7-0 before a brutal stretch of games. During that span, Texas Tech will travel to Kansas and Oklahoma, and host Texas and Oklahoma. All four teams are currently ranked in the top 17 in the AP poll. Texas Tech has scored 241 points in five games.

10.  Florida Gators (4-1) – The Gators showed they were a little agitated on Saturday in blowing out Arkansas 38-7. The Gators feel they should be 5-0, but the 31-30 defeat at the hands of the Mississippi Rebels may cost them a title chance. Tim Tebow has completed 79 of 128 passes for 1025 yards, including 8 touchdowns, and 1 interception. The Gators have scored 180 points, and allowed 57. This week, the Gators have themselves a chance to move up the BCS ladder with a home game with the Tigers of LSU.

Outscoring opponents 206-58 in five games, the Cougars, since the 28-27 win in week two over Washington have not been tested. In the three games since that game, BYU has won 59-0, 44-0, and 34-14. The Cougars offense has scored 206 points led by quarterback Max Hall. Hall has completed 130 of 181 passes for 1587 yards and 17 touchdowns. BYU will host New Mexico on Saturday.
