Week 7 Preview

Notes on the upcoming games this weekend:

* Missouri at Oklahoma -- Game of the Week. Oklahoma would be favored here regardless, but it doesn't help Missouri will be without their starting running back.

* LSU at Kentucky -- This is one of LSU's toughest road games this season. Which is why everyone is picking them to go undefeated.

* Illinois at Iowa -- Illinois can move to 4-0 in conference play with a good road win here.

* Texas A&M at Texas Tech -- The winner has a good chance at finishing second in the South, especially with Texas' struggles.

* Indiana at Michigan St -- I'm not sold on this Indiana team, but a solid road win against Michigan St would help their cause.

* Wisconsin at Penn St -- The Badgers need a good road win this week to get back in the good graces with the voters.

* Auburn at Arkansas -- I just can't see Arkansas falling to 0-3 in conference.

* Purdue at Michigan -- I'm not convinced that the Michigan D can withstand the aerial attack by Purdue, even in the Big House.

* TCU at Stanford -- One of the more disappointing teams plays one of the more surprising teams.

* Connecticut at Virginia -- Connecticut will become bowl-eligible with a win here. I don't think they will do it, which will kill their chances of getting into the AP or USA Today Top 25.

* Arizona at USC -- I'm guessing USC will bounce back after a bad home loss to Stanford.

* Texas at Iowa St -- Both of these teams are looking for their first Big 12 victory.

* Toledo at Buffalo -- Buffalo has a great chance to win consecutive games for the first time since 2001.
