We are hitting the midpoint of the season, and we've already seen some surprises. Oklahoma's stunning loss to Iowa State last Saturday (along with TCU's win over West Virginia) has put the Big 12 title back up for grabs.
This week could see more of the same. There are no games involving two ranked teams going head-to-head, but you know a few of them will get upset. Dangerous games include Auburn at LSU, TCU at Kansas State, Texas Tech at West Virginia, Michigan at Indiana, N.C. State at Pittsburgh, Utah at USC and Michigan State at Minnesota. We also get the Red River Shootout with an angry Oklahoma taking on an improving Texas team.
So with a bevy of unranked teams looking to make their marks, there are many players who need to come up big to either avoid the upset or to be the next Iowa State and shock the college football world. Let's look at the players who should be keys to Week 7.
