2010 WASEAN Team Ratings – Week 7

Week 7 separated some of the wheat from the chaff. Seven teams that are still in the top 25 lost. The previous #9 team (Cal) lost 48-14.

The big story looks like Missouri. The other Tigers, unbeaten LSU struggled before eventually beating McNeese State 32-10. Earlier this year, Missouri beat McNeese 50-6. In week 5, unbeaten Oklahoma State fell behind early at home before beating Texas A&M 38-35. Yesterday Missouri never broke a sweat in going on the road and hammering the Aggies 30-9. We’ll find out more this week as #5 Missouri hosts #15 Oklahoma.

Nebraska had to be the most disappointing team of the day, as they were thoroughly dominated, at home by a Texas team that had shown no signs of life this season.

Boise State has nudged past idle Oregon for the #1 spot, but for all intents and purposes they are tied, separated by only .0007. That is literally 2 points – if Boise wins 46-0 instead of 48-0 yesterday, Oregon would be ahead.

TCU sits comfortably in third. Here’s how WASEAN sees the final 10 unbeatens:

2010 WASEAN Conference Ratings – Week 7

The Pac-10 is still #1, but they are coming back to the pack slightly. The ACC is clearly the worst BCS conference top to bottom, although the Big East takes all the heat, since they don’t have a team in the top 25.

The Big Ten and Big XII are jockeying for 3rd and 4th. The Colonial, an FCS conference is still better than Conference USA and the MAC. Six FCS conference are better than the Sun Belt, whose average team (.398) isn’t much better than an average FCS team (.384).
