NCAA Football - Week 7 Predictions

Ringer's Record
Last Week ATS: 10-10
Last Week SU: 17-3

Season ATS: 58-64 (48%)
Season SU: 105-17 (86%)

I couldn't muster up another winning record last week, but I didn't lose any ground. A 10-10 record ATS has me sitting 6 games under .500 still. This could be a good week to make up ground though. There are 4 games that pair up ranked teams. In the marquee matchup of the week, South Carolina heads to the Bayou in search of back to back signature wins. Notre Dame welcomes Stanford to South Bend to prove they are a legitimate Top 5 team. The Red River Rivalry is renewed in Dallas with Oklahoma and Texas squaring off. And Louisiana Tech and Texas A&M battle to prove they belong in the rankings. The initial BCS rankings come out this weekend, so teams will want to showcase themselves more than ever. Here is how I expect Week 6 of the college football season to play out. (Rankings based on the Ringer Poll)
