What Makes a College FB Team a "Power Team"?

wouldn't you? This team has two very quality wins on their resume. They're undefeated.

Icon Sports Media4. Missouri

More controversy, but they haven't lost.

They went into Illinois and Oxford and won—convincingly in the latter case. And we all know Nebraska sucks and Bill Callahan is the Norv Turner of college football, but Mizzou's 41-6 win was a rout of epic proportions.

The Tigers look awesome, and I think they beat OU in Norman Saturday. If they do, they're a legit top-five team this season.

5. Oregon

They blitzkrieged Houston, Michigan, Fresno, and Stanford (who beat No. 1 USC), and should have defeated No. 2 Cal.

This is a powerful teama high-flying offense and a pretty good defense. The Ducks are the best one-loss team in the country. Their running attack is mighty, and Dennis Dixon is passing well.

In their victories, it's not close. They're destroying opponents.

Not even in the Top Five discussion...

Ohio State: Best quality win is Purdue...sad.

Boston College: Best win is Georgia Tech (unranked and overmatched team).

Oklahoma: Dominated cupcakes and lost to unranked Colorado

Florida: Two losses...all SEC teams play SEC teams...no excuses.

Close but no cigar...

South Carolina: The win over Georgia looks less impressive now, but they took down Kentucky. A win in Knoxville in two weeks will bump them up.

This is how I see it as of today. We're talking power on power.

Would Florida really lose to USF?

Who knows.

Could Missouri beat Ohio State or BC?

It would be a heck of a game.

In any event, results are all that matter at this point.
