College football continues to roll on as we head into week seven and plenty of great teams are heading on the road this week. The top 10 has suffered some changes in the pass weeks and it is going to happen again when South Carolina and LSU knock heads.
Speaking of LSU-SC, they are the first pick for this week!
LSU- 31 South Carolina- 20 - As much as I hated on LSU last week, they are a hard team to beat at home. Though Zach Mettenberger and the rest of the Tiger's offense has been weak, the defense makes up for it. They have allowed 12.8 points per game and have a great knack of pressuring the QB. The Gamecocks won't be an easy opponent. They too have a stellar defense and they have a pretty good offense. Last week's result for SC does make me think of this game a bit more, but they played an extremely overrated team.
Texas- 17 Oklahoma- 10 - This will be an old fashioned Red River Rivalry. Both teams have proved a lot this season. I like Texas because of David Ash. The kid takes care of the football and has a really good arm. It helps when you have a great rushing attack to help you out. Joe Bergeron and Malcom Brown are a nice dual threat and should keep the Sooner defense on their heels. The Sooners will need a great game from Landry Jones if they want to win. He has been decent this season, but when he struggled against K-State, Oklahoma suffered. I see the same thing happening in this game.
Texas A&M- 48 Louisiana Tech- 30 - No one expected Louisiana Tech to be in the Top 25, so when they fall this week it shouldn't be too much of a surprise. I praised LT at the beginning of the season, but this match-up will be too much for them. Surprisingly, TAMU is near the top of the nation in all team stats and their only loss is against Florida. Johnny Manziel has surprised me this season. He has done a great job as a freshman and has been very actuate. I think last week's win for the Aggies really showed the mental strength of this team. They will show a toughness again this week and see through the win.
Stanford- 10 Notre Dame- 19 - The Irish have really shown me up this year. I wasn't sure if they were back yet, but Manti Te'o and the rest of the defense have proven something to me. They will be the main reason that the Irish win. Everett Golson will be pivotal in this game. If he has a bad day, they Irish could be in trouble. I really don't trust Stanford after their huge loss to Washington and their near loss to Arizona. The rushing game will need to come to play if the Cardinal want a chance to win.

Tennessee- 14 Mississippi State- 20
Miami- 30 North Carolina- 29
Alabama- 50 Missouri- 10
West Virginia- 70 Texas Tech- 50
