1: Oklahoma State Cowboys (8-1 ATS, 8-2 SU) (LW: 1)
Oklahoma State was destroyed by Texas Tech last weekend, but it’s hard to find a reason to take them down from the top spot in the Power Poll. Its BCS prospects look grim, especially if they’re not careful against a Colorado team that spanked them 34-0 in its last meeting in 2005.
Next Up: Away @ Colorado (-17)
2: Ball State Cardinals (7-1 ATS, 9-0 SU) (LW: 3)
The Cardinals probably don’t have enough bulk left on their schedule to join the BCS party, but they still have a lot of work to do just to win the MAC. They made a big statement by obliterating Northern Illinois 45-14 last week, and but now have a short week to prepare for the Redhawks, who are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine MAC games.
Next Up: Away @ Miami (OH) (-16)
3: Oklahoma Sooners (7-2 ATS, 9-1 SU) (LW: 7)
Oklahoma kept its name in the hat for the National Championship when it spanked Texas A&M 66-28. The offense has rolled up 186 points and 1,689 yards in its three-game cover streak. Eight of the Sooners’ nine lined games this year has also gone ‘over’ the ‘total’.
Next Up: Bye
4: Florida Gators (7-2 ATS, 9-1 SU) (LW: 9)
Another week, another cover for the Gators, who have rolled off five straight covers by an average of 19.3 points per game. Last week, Vandy was on the short end of the scoreboard, falling 42-14. Florida is likely four steps from the National Championship game, and will look to take that first step against South Carolina next week in the Swamp.
Next Up: Home vs. South Carolina (-23)
5: Penn State Nittany Lions (6-2-1 ATS, 9-1 SU) (LW: 2)
Head Coach Joe Paterno’s quest for another National Championship was squashed in Iowa City when his Nittany Lions dropped to the Hawkeyes 24-23. It was the first time an opponent covered PSU since Sept. 27, but it should be a “get better” week for its football bettors. Indiana is only 1-8-1 ATS in its L/10 and 16-35-2 ATS in its L/53 road games.
Next Up: Home vs. Indiana (-34)
6: Florida International Golden Panthers (7-2 ATS, 4-5 SU) (LW: 13)
A trick play with just over 2:00 to go resulted in the game-winning touchdown, giving FIU a huge 22-21 victory over Arkansas State, and keeping its slim Sun Belt title hopes alive in the process. The Golden Panthers are off this week, but could notch the program’s first .500 season with wins in two of its final three games.
