2013 NCAA FBS Rankings: Week 7

Another weekend gone by, and it's time to look ahead to the next weekend of college football. There was a little worry with some of the service academies being unable to play due to the government shutdown, but they allowed the athletes to play and we had our full slate of games this week.

So as we move forward into Week 7 of the 2013 season, we're down to 17 unbeaten teams left in the FBS. Odds are a few more will get knocked off, but depending on how many more fall this week I may or may not be able to start playoff seedings next week. I'm all for a little BCS chaos though.

Below, you will find updated rankings for non-conference scheduling. Obviously at this stage of the season, there's not much to report on, considering last week there wasn't a lot of movement, but there also weren't any games against lower level competition. We'll see if that same luxury holds this time around. For last week's games, you can see the rankings here.

1. Conference USA (0.00, 6.57; LW: 1). No change.
2. MAC (0.38, 6.15; LW: 3). Eastern Michigan visits Army and Bowling Green is off to face Mississippi State.
3. Sun Belt (0.13, 6.00; LW: 2). Arkansas State hosts Idaho.
4. Mountain West (0.00, 5.08; LW: 4). No change.
5. American Athletic (0.00, 4.90; LW: 5). No change.
6. Big Ten (0.00, 4.00; LW: 6). No change.
7. SEC (0.00, 3.50; LW: 7). Mississippi State hosts Bowling Green, but that's offset by Auburn getting its cupcake this week.
8. Pac-12 (0.00, 3.08; LW: 8). No change.
9. ACC (0.21, 3.00, LW: 9). Duke hosts Navy and Georgia Tech visits BYU.
10. Big 12 (0.00, 2.60; LW: 10). No change.

By my count, we're up to 93 of the FBS teams that have played down a level at least once. There are a few that came up this year that are still playing down, so I can see why the BCS isn't including them in postseason play. If only they showed that same disdain for it at upper levels. Alas. I'll have more coming up next week, plus tomorrow you can see NFL picks against the spread right here. Happy football season!
