Evaluating the Unbeatens

6 teams are still perfect heading into week 10. We take a look to see who has an easy road, or who might face a setback and suffer their first loss of the season.
(Capital= home team)
LSU
alabama, WESTERN KENTUCKY, ole miss, ARKANSAS
Obviously, the big game this weekend will decide which SEC team will probably end up in the title game. The intriguing game to me is Arkansas at home. If LSU loses to Bama, and Arkansas keeps winning, both teams will have only lost to the Crimson Tide and set up a play in game for Sugar Bowl.
Bama
LSU, mississippi state, GEORGIA SOUTHERN, auburn
Well once again the game of the college football season is Saturday and title hopes lie in Tuscaloosa. If Bama wins, it still has a somewhat challenging schedule, starting with a road game against Mississippi St, which Saban and the Tide can't take lightly. And there's always the Iron bowl to end the season vs Auburn, and you can bet last years defending champs will be sending the house to try and upset the Tide.
Oklahoma St
KSU, texas tech, iowa st, OKLAHOMA
Most of the nation can't wait for the December 3 showdown between the Cowboys and the Sooners. But OSU can't overlook all three of its opponents beforehand. Sure, their offense can run and gun with anyone in the country, but if Weeden and Blackmon are off, can the D make a stop during the crucial stretch in the season? We'll find out.
Stanford
oregon st, OREGON, CAL, ND
The big thing for the Cardinals is the three home games to close out the season, which will be huge if they fall into one of the final 2 BCS spots. The Ducks is the premier game, as the PAC 12 championship is also on the line. Cal and the Irish will be upset minded, but Luck and his vast amount of TE's and RB Taylor will start to wear down those teams.
Boise St
unlv, TCU, sdsu, Wyoming, NM
The Broncos need some blue magic, as at least 3 teams have to lose plus they need some generous help from the BCS computers. Their final "challenging" game left is against TCU, but the Horned Frogs haven't been anywhere near as good as they have the past 2 years, so an easy win for the Broncos is likely.
Houston
aub, tulane, SMU, tulsa
The Cougars still have an outside shot for a Fiesta Bowl Bid. Casey Keenum is a worthy Heisman Candidate, but a weak conference and schedule doesn't help his case or his team's for a BCS bid
