1. Oklahoma State Cowboys (8-0 ATS, 8-1 SU) (LW: 1)

It’s a real sin that the Cowboys probably won’t be able to sneak into the BCS because they’re in the ridiculously difficult Big 12, but sports bettors won’t be bothered if they keep beating the spread. They crushed Iowa State 59-17 last week but will get a much more difficult test next week in Lubbock.

Next Up: Away @ Texas Tech (-4)

2. Penn State Nittany Lions (6-1-1 ATS, 9-0 SU) (LW: 3)

The No. 3 team in the land is licking its chops over the prospects of a Big Ten title and a spot in the BCS championship with just three more wins. Iowa has been a bugaboo to the Nittany Lions though, as it is 6-2 SU and ATS in its L/8 against PSU.

Next Up: Away @ Iowa (-7)

3. Ball State Cardinals (6-1 ATS, 8-0 SU) (LW: 5)

Ball State suddenly has a legitimate chance to bust the BCS party themselves should it run the table, but there’s a lot of football left to be played. Their last home game against Eastern Michigan snapped a streak of three straight covers for the Cards, who have won six straight in Muncie.

Next Up: Home vs. Northern Illinois (-9.5)

4. Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns (7-1 ATS, 5-3 SU) (LW: 7)

The Ragin’ Cajuns won the battle of the two best ATS teams in the Sun Belt over the weekend in a big manner, as they beat the Golden Panthers 49-20 as 12-point favorites. It steps out of conference play this week against UTEP, a team ULL has never met.

Next Up: Home vs. UTEP (-9)

5. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (5-1-1 ATS, 7-2 SU) (LW: 9)

Nobody said that it would be easy for the Jackets, but HC Paul Johnson has gotten it done game after game in his first year at G-Tech. Thanks to a fumble right at the goal line by FSU, the Ramblin’ Wreck knocked off the Noles 31-28 and held on to a push for their bettors. The ACC Coastal crown will probably be on the line this week in Chapel Hill.

Next Up: Away @ North Carolina (+4)

6. Texas Longhorns (7-2 ATS, 8-1 SU) (LW: 2)

Texas found a way to come all the way back from down 19-0 to the Red Raiders in Lubbock, but in the end, it was guns up for T-Tech. WR Michael Crabtree’s 28-yard touchdown grab with 0:01 left gave the Red Raiders a 39-33 victory. The Longhorns have a “get better” game next week, as they haven’t lost to Baylor since 1997.

Next Up: Home vs. Baylor (-25.5)

7. Oklahoma Sooners (6-2 ATS, 8-1 SU) (LW: 10)

The Sooners seem to be the forgotten team in the Big 12 South disaster, but they continued to go about their business last week, crunching Nebraska 62-28. They’ve scored at least 35 points in every game this year and should keep that going next week at Texas A&M.

Next Up: Away @ Texas A&M (-25)

8. Texas Christian Horned Frog s (7-2 ATS, 9-1 SU) (LW: 12)

TCU kept its BCS hopes alive when it beat UNLV 44-14 on Saturday. It’s got a short week to prepare for the biggest game of the year against Utah, a match that will likely decide the winner of the Mountain West. The Horned Frogs are 7-2 ATS in their L/9 against MWC foes.

Next Up: Away @ Utah (-2)

9. Florida Gators (6-2 ATS, 8-1 SU) (LW: 14)

Here come the Gators again... Florida whooped up on its rivals from Georgia 49-10 and now appears to be in the driver’s seat for a march towards the national title. Vanderbilt will likely be just another speed bump on that path, but the ‘Dores are 8-5 ATS against UF since ’95.

Next Up: Away @ Vanderbilt (-24.5)

10. Minnesota Golden Gophers (6-2 ATS, 7-2 SU) (LW: 4)

The six-game cover streak for the Gophers ended with a thud at home against Northwestern last week. They’ll have a chance to capture the Little Brown Jug for just the second time since 1995 next week against the lowly Wolverines.

Next Up: Home vs. Michigan (-7.5)
