.Joel Klatt.Lead College Regulation Football Analyst.When the college regulation football routines were produced and established for this season, Oct. 12 was among the dates all of us circled around. Our company anticipated that day for months, and it certainly delivered.There were actually awesome surfaces all weekend break. Penn Condition came back to gain and continue to be unbeaten observing its journey to USC. LSU took down Ole Miss in overtime. Tennessee additionally needed to have overtime to defeat Fla, which was actually a little bit of a shock. Of course, the significant one was actually Oregon's thrilling sway Ohio Condition. The Ducks played their best activity of the year in their greatest activity of the year. Well performed, Oregon. That was actually an enormous ambience, as well as Ohio State took a trip properly. The video game met the buzz as well as delivered similarly to the Georgia-Alabama activity only a number of weeks ago.It's tough to argue along with superconferences following games like that, isn't it? That stated, let's enter my leading 10. 1. Texas (Last week: 1) File: 6-0Week 7 end result: Defeated Oklahoma, 34-3I considered placing Oregon at No. 1, however the way Texas played Saturday was enough to keep the leading place. Texas' draw Oklahoma was actually just close throughout the very first area, when quarterback Quinn Ewers was actually knocking off some corrosion in his yield. Texas outgained Oklahoma by 170 backyards. Texas has both the No. 1 scoring outburst as well as defense in the country. The second might be a bit higher based upon the time of its game versus Oklahoma and also Michigan. Basically, the Longhorns appear like the most effective team in the country. Texas QB Quinn Ewers threw for 199 gardens and possessed pair of complete goals in his gain versus Oklahoma. 2. Oregon (Last week: 4) Report: 6-0Week 7 outcome: Defeated Ohio State, 33-32The Oregon team we viewed Sunday was actually the version our company anticipated to observe all time. Oregon left to a little a slow-moving begin, succeeding a set of games to open the year that were actually closer than they ought to possess been actually. Sunday was actually the kind of game that Oregon generated QB Dillon Gabriel for, as well as he delivered. Dan Lanning should be actually delighted. I have actually seen Gabriel for a long time, which was among the very best video games he is actually participated in. He was breathtaking. His downfield passing away and also potential to get away from on some of his runs were actually significant. What impressed me the absolute most approximately Gabriel's elite functionality-- 397 total backyards of offense as well as three total goals-- was actually that he participated in outside his durabilities. I have actually mentioned for a while that he's a memory card dealership or a point player. Ohio State's game plan was actually created to quit that. So, it was actually fabulous to see Gabriel launch the sphere down the area. Therefore, Gabriel additionally launched his Heisman campaign. That's exactly how really good he was.We additionally must provide credit rating to Oregon's objectionable product line. That system strained in the 1st married couple full weeks of the period. Gabriel was pushed on approximately 40% of his dropbacks, however he had not been fired. Gabriel as well as Oregon's outburst definitely lit up Ohio State's protection. Ohio State quit 7.5 yards every action in Saturday's activity, which is actually the best it quit in a game given that late in the 2022 time. Oregon pass receiver Evan Stewart actually battered Ohio Condition cornerback Denzel Burke in some of the much bigger individual matchups of that game. Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel tossed for 341 yards and racked up 3 overall goals versus Ohio State. 3. Ohio Condition (Recently: 2) Document: 5-1Week 7 result: Lost to Oregon, 33-32Ohio Condition merely fell a location in the ranks afterwards near battle, however one thing needs to have to transform with its own self defense. When you watch the film, it didn't think that Ohio Condition quit nearly 500 backyards of offense, 7.5 yards per play as well as 5 yards every bring. It felt like Ohio Condition participated in some fantastic protection before enabling a huge play on specific drives.Why were actually these huge actions occurring? There were a couple of issues with Ohio State's protection. It had not been a fantastic tackling night. Terrific defenses constantly deal with well. That is actually magnified when you're participating in guy coverage like Ohio State greatly performed on Sunday. It resembles tossing gasoline on a fire. One more thing I viewed on the film was Ohio State running area protection usually, which implies that the defensive lineman that's taken into consideration a three-technique was to the wide side of the industry, mainly. It failed to follow the tight side or even stamina of the outburst as long as it was phoned call to the broad edge of the field. That suggests the one-technique defensive electrician is aligned over the facility while there was actually a three-technique aligned over the takes on. There was actually an opening in the B-Gap and also Ohio Condition had not been standing up for that gap effectively. Oregon was injuring Ohio State on short-side operates and also the Buckeyes failed to readjust in time.Lastly, Ohio State didn't obtain enough stress on Gabriel. When you don't acquire enough stress on the quarterback, your protective backs are going to be defeated. There's not a protective back in the country that are going to have the ability to pay for so long as Oregon was offering Gabriel to toss. As for Will Howard, he played tremendously for most of the activity. In fact, Ohio Condition's outburst was much more effective throughout the game. But there were a number of moments where Howard failed to participate in effectively, as well as every person will definitely remember that. He had a gone down breeze on a piece of cake late in the third quarter, and he missed WR Jeremiah Smith at the sticks on a third-down throw on Ohio Condition's penultimate ride. Certainly, there was actually also the last play, where he didn't know the amount of opportunity was on the time clock to get down as well as set his team up for a basket. That was a phenomenal game, though. I can't stand by to find these interplay once more. But Ohio Condition might must manage the dining table in the normal time to come to the Big 10 label video game today. Ohio State QB Will Howard tossed for 326 lawns as well as racked up 3 complete goals in Sunday's loss to Oregon. 4. Georgia (Recently: 3) File: 5-1Week 7 result: Beat Mississippi State, 41-31I'm still using with Georgia, yet it's obtained some protuberances. Our experts may have to be actually a little worried concerning the Bulldogs, though. While QB Carson Stream tossed for over 400 yards on Sunday, Georgia hasn't been fantastic on the ground. It had an alright ground strike versus Mississippi Condition, but the Bulldogs are a one-win crew. Georgia has actually rushed for lower than 4 lawns per hold in half of its games thus far. We'll recognize whatever our company need to know about Georgia after Saturday's video game against Texas. I believe Kirby Smart are going to have the Dawgs ready for that one. Georgia QB Carson Stream tossed for over 300 lawns in the 1st one-half of its sway Mississippi State. 5. Penn State (Last week: 5) Document: 6-0Week 7 outcome: Defeated USC, 33-30 (OT) This believed that a massive, massive succeed for James Franklin. USC had not been rated entering this match, yet I believe it is actually far much better than its 3-3 document advises. We know that Penn Condition has actually lost in these form of seconds over the final few years. If Penn State lost that game, it will've obtained struck the "customary Penn State tag." PSU QB Drew Allar ought to obtain some credit scores for this win. He didn't play his finest video game, yet he was wonderful in significant instants. He possessed two huge fourth-down transformations and tossed for 391 yards, recovering from the three interceptions he threw to supply some subconscious minutes late because game. WR Julian Fleming as well as TE Tyler Warren stepped up in massive seconds, which I believe was actually the greatest aspect of that gain. If they come to be steady hazards, that will truly round out an actually well-rounded team. We understand PSU's operate game as well as protection are actually good, so that will be actually a major advancement for the Nittany Lions.Penn Condition goes back coming from a 14-point deficit to defeat USC in overtime 6. Clemson (Recently: 7) File: 5-1Week 7 result: Defeated Wake Forest, 49-14I've gotten on the Clemson train for at least a handful of weeks. Some folks may certainly not want to hear it after this crew was burnt out through Georgia in Week 1, but they have actually established offensively and are actually far better right now than what they were at the beginning of the year. The Tigers possessed an additional video game where they were close to scoring virtually fifty factors. With the method QB Cade Klubnik and also offensive planner Garrett Riley are actually rolling, I feel Clemson is actually heading to succeed the ACC. Cade Klubnik led Clemson to one more high-scoring win, throwing for three goals in its 49-14 triumph over Wake Woodland. 7. Alabama (Recently: 6) Record: 5-1Week 7 outcome: Defeated South Carolina, 27-25What was that activity on Sunday, Alabama? Are we panicking, Alabama enthusiasts? The self defense didn't play fantastic after it climbed 14-0 versus South Carolina. If this team plays a team that's any sort of excellent, they're heading to need to play perfectly on outburst and is going to likely require to win in a shootout. If they play a team that they should trump, they will likely win through a considerable frame, unless QB Jalen Milroe and also the offense do not participate in well. That's what happened on Saturday. Alabama's protection hasn't acquired any kind of much better during the course of this season. Our company'll envision if head train Kalen DeBoer may obtain Alabama secured on a week-to-week manner like Scar Saban provided for almost 20 years. Jalen Milroe was actually on the technique commonly in Alabama's win over South Carolina, hurrying for pair of goals. 8. LSU (Recently: Unranked) Report: 5-1Week 7 end result: Beat Ole Miss, 29-26 (OT) LSU remains in a wonderful placement moving forward after Sunday's succeed. I'm taking a look at LSU's video game versus Texas A&M on Oct. 26 as an activity that is actually seeming like it can find out one of the places in the SEC Championship Game. QB Garrett Nussmeier was actually excellent against Ole Miss. LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier completed fewer than 50% of his passes against Ole Miss, yet he possessed 337 passing lawns as well as 3 touchdowns in the succeed. 9. Iowa State (Recently: 10) File: 6-0Week 7 end result: Beat West Virginia, 28-16Is this an overrank? Perhaps. However I count on Matt Campbell's team. That's an actually audio regulation football staff. It plays high quality protection, as well as I believe its own offense is far better than individuals recognize. No. 11 Iowa Condition Cyclones vs. West Virginia Mountaineers Highlights 10. Miami (Fla.) (Recently: 8) Document: 6-0Week 7 outcome: IdleI only do not rely on the Hurricanes at this moment, at least certainly not along with just how the draw Virginia Technician and also Cal participated in out. Miami resides in my leading 10 because of QB Cam Ward, but simply No. 10. Joel Klatt is FOX Sports' top university football game analyst and also the host of the podcast "The Joel Klatt Show."
