College football's best unbeatens

As it stands, there are currently 10 teams undefeated after Week 7 in the college football landscape. Four of them (Missouri and Oklahoma, Auburn and LSU) are playing each other next week, so the number will shrink by at least two.

But as the first BCS rankings were released on Sunday, with Oklahoma (6-0) and Oregon (6-0) atop the polls, it became clear that those two are considered the cream of the crop of the cream of the crop. The best of the best. The top undefeated teams.

Boise State (6-0) checks in at No. 3 on the BCS polls, and with WAC foe Nevada dropping a game to Hawaii, the Broncos will have difficulty convincing the committee to leapfrog either Oklahoma or Oregon in the case that both teams finish undefeated.

With so many teams still undefeated, BCS computers actually list the top seven teams as combining for a 46-0 record. And besides Boise State, fellow mid-majors TCU (7-0) and Utah (6-0) would have a tough time jumping over Oklahoma or Oregon in the rankings, given their in-conference schedules.

TCU probably has the most legitimate argument if the Horned Frogs finish undefeated. Wins over Oregon State, Baylor, BYU, Air Force, San Diego State and Utah is a legitimate profile, especially for a team in the same conference as New Mexico and Wyoming.

The most under-the-radar undefeated teams? Michigan State (7-0), Missouri (6-0) and Oklahoma State (6-0), who are ranked No. 7, No. 11 and No. 14 in the BCS polls, respectively. They combine for two wins against top 25 teams, though, meaning their resumes aren't as strong as other unbeatens.
