Rankings: Week 7

Alrighty, halfway through the season, we're starting to see some of the same teams towards the top of my rankings as we do the polls. You've got your Penn States, Alabamas, Texases, Oklahoma States, etc. They've all had great seasons so far. But I hope one of the things my rankings can do is highlight the non-major teams that are also having great seasons, the ones that people don't automatically think of when they measure college football success. Sure there's the BYU's and Utah's, but Ball State, Tulsa, and Western Michigan are also having highly successful seasons, well above the average not just of non-BCS teams but of most BCS teams too. So kudos to them.

I'll have more of a breakdown of numbers at the halfway point on Tuesday.

And things are about as they should be in the conference race. The Big12 is solidly ahead, followed by the SEC and the Big10. The Pac10 is still towards the bottom, but just look at how tough their opponents have been. More on that later...
