Can Any Team in College Football Run the Table? Texas Sits First in Top 25

I still think they are the best of the one-loss teams and probably the best team in the country, but they were exposed some against Texas. I know they were banged up on defense, but the Sooners have looked suspect against good passing attacks this year. In a conference with so many potent passing offenses, that could be a cause for concern.

The other area where Oklahoma has struggled this season is kickoff coverage. This loomed large yesterday as Texas really started to change the game with a kickoff return for a touchdown. The loss to Texas pretty much takes their destiny out of their hands.

5. USC

The Trojan defense has been a force since the Oregon State loss. They put on a clinic yesterday. In a very down Pac-10 conference, the Trojans are in prime position to run the table. They could be playing for a national title before it is all said and done.

6. Florida

Perhaps the most impressive team yesterday was the Florida Gators. Their offense made a very good LSU defense look stupid. I think Florida’s offense separates them from the rest of the SEC. If Florida plays like they did yesterday, they are going to be tough to beat.

7. Georgia

The Bulldogs were not very impressive against Tennessee yesterday. They will need to play better the rest of the way if they are going to win the SEC East.

8. Oklahoma State

Probably the biggest jumpers seeing as I had not ranked them in any polls I have done this season. Oklahoma State is unbeaten, and that road win against Missouri is about as good a win as a team can get.

The most impressive thing about that game was the way their defense forced the brilliant Tiger offense into so many bad plays (and held Missouri to their first three and out of the season). They are going to have to do more to stay up here, but at 6-0 with a win on the road against Missouri, they have earned a top 10 spot.

9. Texas Tech

Here is where I am starting to have some trouble grouping teams. Texas Tech was not that impressive against Nebraska yesterday, but for the most part I like this Red Raider team. They play better defense than they have in the past (not saying too much), and that offense is going to light people up week after week.

They play Texas A&M before getting games against Kansas and Texas. After that three-game stretch we will know much more.

10. Ohio State
