2011's Perfection: And Then There Were 6

There are now just six unbeaten teams after nine weeks of college football:

1. LSU
2. Alabama
3. Boise State
4. Oklahoma State
5. Stanford
6. Houston

Kansas State and Clemson lost for the first time this week. That brings us down to six.

Next week, we'll have no more than five, since LSU and Alabama face each other. Boise State, Houston and Stanford all go on the road, but against weak opponents. Oklahoma State is home against Kansas State. My best guess: everyone wins except the loser of the LSU/Alabama game. After that, it is entirely possible that the remaining five perfect teams will be undefeated going into their bowl games, further proving the mythical nature of college football's "championship" game.
