Week 7 preview

Now that we're down to only a quarter of the teams with any hope at all of playing for a national title it's highly unlikely that any week will have better than a 50% share of games that make a difference.

By the way I say any hope at all because many of the teams I have listed still don't really have a chance. These are the teams that can in actuality consider themselves national title contenders:
Florida
Alabama
LSU
South Carolina
Auburn
Texas
Oklahoma St
Kansas
Virginia Tech
Miami
Iowa
Cincinnati
USC
Maaaaayyyybeees:
Nebraska
Ohio St
South Florida
Oregon
Auburn is currently unranked, but if they end up running the table they will close with a win against possibly undefeated Alabama in the Iron Bowl, and possibly undefeated Florida in the SEC championship, and would have a win vs LSU. Because we're being super strict with our eliminations though we'll include all 30 teams still loosely active.

Games that don't matter:
Arkansas St @ Louisiana Monroe
Louisville @ Connecticut
Northwestern @ Michigan St
Wake Forest @ Clemson
Bowling Green @ Ball St
Georgia @ Vanderbilt
Mississippi St @ Middle Tennessee St
Army @ Temple
UAB @ Mississippi
Miami OH @ Ohio
Wyoming @ Air Force
Nevada @ Utah St
California @ UCLA
North Carolina St @ Boston College
Rice @ East Carolina
Akron @ Buffalo
Houston @ Tulane
Central Michigan @ Western Michigan
Virginia @ Maryland
Kent St @ Eastern Michigan
Hawaii @ Idaho
Stanford @ Arizona
BYU @ San Diego St
New Mexico St @ Louisiana Tech
Baylor @ Iowa St
Illinois @ Indiana
Louisiana Lafayette @ Western Kentucky
Florida Atlantic @ North Texas
Troy @ Florida International
Texas A&M @ Kansas St
Memphis @ Southern Miss
Northern Illinois @ Toledo
Navy @ SMU
Washington @ Arizona St
San Jose St @ Fresno St
Utah @ UNLV

That's 36 out of 55. Yikes! A whopping 65%
YTD: 181 out of 427 (42%)
