The teams mentioned above have potential and find ways to win games and that is all that really matters.

It may not have looked easy as Oklahoma did struggle at home against Tulane and West Virginia and every game against an FBS opponent has resulted in only single-digit victories but they are 6-0. Michigan, after beating their first three opponents by 21 points or more, only beat Rutgers at home by seven and defeated Nebraska on the road by only three points.

Oklahoma State had many difficulties in their first three games with only a single-digit victory at home against Missouri State and then only beat Tulsa at home by five and defeated Boise State on the road by only one point. However, the Cowboys have won their last two games by double digits, the Wolverines have won their last two Big Ten road games, and the Sooners came from behind and defeated Texas.

All three teams have potential and control their own destiny.
