Doogitywoogity 23 Secretly the most fun team to watch this year? Only losses in close ones vs TTU and UH who both look solid? Maybe this squad can make some noise.

dukemetoo 23 This team has a G6 schedule, and has two losses, but I can't NOT rank them. They have an explosive offense that needs to be seen. They are my pick for G6 spot right now. They will need to win convincingly, because James Madison will likely be undefeated, and 2 losses is a lot to swallow.

nw____ 23 Two losses, but relatively close ones to two top-4 teams in the Big XII. I think the defense is *bad* bad, but that offense is kind of unbelievable. That said, this sort of feels too high at the moment. Washington State has looked awful most of the year and somehow hung 30 on Oregon State (again, very bad defense). It’s another ranking that I’m willing to let work itself out in the coming weeks.

Xy13 24 So fun facts. WR Jesse Legree is leading Jeremiah Smith in every WR stat and the leader for the Biletnikoff:
YDS 1,040 1st vs 984 2nd
TDs 14 1st vs 12 2nd
AVG 22.6 3rd vs 18.9 14th
Oh, and on only 46 receptions instead of 52.

So how is Jeremiah Leading the Heisman race (best player in college) when he isn't even the best at his own position?

inb4 look at the defense ORSU plays, I'll counter with look at the teammates on tOSU.

Justanother_0 25 Two quality performances against the class of the Big XII and sweeps of their PAC 12 slate so far. If OSU wins out they might be a sleeper pick for the playoffs with some help from JMU...

The next three G6 teams were UTSA, New Mexico, and NDSU.
Maladroit44 25 Oregon State, meanwhile, hasn't provided a single obvious cue to jump them into the top 25. But when a team wins five straight games by a combined margin of 255-94, while their two early-season losses both remain undefeated outside a game against each other, you can only ignore them for so long. The Beavers have looked *really* good in Pac-12 play, and it's looking more and more like that Nov. 14 trip to Boise State will be a critical showdown in the race for the G6's playoff bid. Is it wishful thinking to look at a Week 11 slate full of underwhelming matchups like Texas-LSU, UF-UK, and USC-Indiana, and hope it might somehow get GameDay, too?

ArlyntheAwesome 23 lone exception to my SMU statement, you actually may deserve to be ranked, if Houston beats Utah next week I feel it's undeniable.

Express_Dinner7918 24 Another conference game, another phenomenal performance offensively. Keep it up and your a playoff dark horse.
