College Football Update

What in the world happened last weekend!

Playoff Picture

If you are a fan of college football and upsets you were extremely excited about last weekend. 3 of the top 4 playoff teams lost in some close match ups but the scenarios for the college football playoff just got a lot more difficult for the committee. This is the time of the year teams love to hate, and hate to love. But hey! As college football fans this is what we live for. Oh and its always a good time when Michigan loses.

Here's the First round of rankings:

1. Alabama

2. Ohio State

3. Michigan

4. Clemson

5. Louisville

Let me stop right here. The fact that Louisville is 5 and Clemson is 4 bothers me. Simply because the only loss Louisville took came from Clemson. While Clemson is FRESH off of a loss to an unranked Pitt team. And it was a home loss. In my opinion Louisville is in the worst position. If they win out of the ACC they still won’t make the conference championship game if Clemson doesn’t drop another game since Clemson holds the tie breaker win.

6. Washington

7. Wisconsin

8. Penn State

9. Oklahoma

10. Colorado

11. Oklahoma State

12. Utah

13. USC

14. West Virginia

15. Auburn

16. LSU

17. Florida State

18. Nebraska

19. Tennessee

20. Boise State

21. Western Michigan

22. Washington State

23. Florida

24. Stanford

25. Texas A&M

Scenarios

So as it stands right now the Big 10 has potentially the best chance at getting 2 teams into the College football playoff. But here’s the thing; the big 10 has a conference championship; Wisconsin looks to be a sure thing for winning the BIG 10 west with their only losses coming from Ohio State and Michigan who are both in the Eastern side of things. As long as the win their last 2 games they are guaranteed a spot in the conference championship. As far as the east side of things go; that’s where things get a little more difficult. Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State are all tied for first in the east. Ohio State lost to Penn State who Lost to Michigan so if Michigan wins the rest of their games they will be outright in the East and play for the conference championship and likely have a bid to the CFP. Now If They lose a game they will be out of the conference championship picture and likely the playoff picture. Penn State if they win out they would have to rely on a Michigan loss to play for the conference title. Which is a possibility since Michigan Still has to travel to Ohio State putting them in a good spot for the playoff system even as a 2 loss team. Ohio State has the short end of the stick. If they win out and they need to rely on a Penn State loss to get into the Conference Championship. If Both Ohio State and Penn State win out Penn State holds the tie breaker and OSU is left out of the conference championship, but their strength of schedule will keep them in the playoff race. My Prediction – Ohio State & Penn State both win out. And the winner of the conference championship earns a spot to the college football playoff.

The ACC has a similar situation, if Clemson wins out they will make the conference championship game over Louisville, leaving Louisville out of the conference Championship and hoping for a playoff bid. Now the Michigan loss helped Louisville, and if they drop another game; Louisville is in better shape to sneak into the 4th spot, and it is possible that Clemson loses the conference title.

Washington is still in the race as long as they win out and win the Pac 12 Championship

The SEC is secure with Alabama at the top as long as nothing surprising happens, but the way they’ve been playing it doesn’t look to be so.

With so many possibilities it will be hard to miss a game in the next two weeks. Stay tuned for more upsets and possibilities.

College Football Update

Sorry for the hiatus my friends, but now is the best time to hit you all with a couple of updates now that we are a good way through the season.

Playoff Picture

Well what does this exactly mean, I’ll you. First of all, for the teams outside of the top 4 it means that they have some work to do, and need a little bit of luck to hopefully secure a spot in the top 10 by the end of the season. For the teams in the top 4 now it means that they need to keep working on getting better and realize that they can’t afford to drop off one bit. The teams on the outside will be hunting for a spot and there are a couple of teams currently in the Top who I can potentially see falling out.

Here's the First round of rankings:

1. Alabama

2. Clemson

3. Michigan

4. Texas A&M

5. Washington

6. Ohio State

7. Louisville

8. Wisconsin

9. Auburn

10. Nebraska

11. Florida

12. Penn State

13. LSU

14. Oklahoma

15. Colorado

16. Utah

17. Baylor

18. Oklahoma State

19. Virginia Tech

20. West Virginia

21. North Carolina

22. Florida State

23. Western Michigan

24. Boise State

25. Washington State

Notice that A&M (7-1) is 4th above Washington (8-0) this is because the power of schedule played with A&M’s only loss coming from number 1 Alabama. Now teams who are in trouble of falling out of playoff contention come the end of the season.

Ohio State: facing struggles as of lately, the buckeyes face a tough back half of the schedule. With Nebraska (9) at home, Maryland and Michigan State on the road, closing out with Michigan (2) at home; the buckeyes will need to win the rest of their games plus the BIG 10 championship to secure a spot.

Michigan: while they have been dominating all season, the wolverines still have to travel to Columbus. A loss to the Buckeyes could ruin their chances at a playoff run. I imagine that the winner of the Michigan Ohio State game goes on to the Playoffs as long as Ohio State doesn’t drop a game between now and then.

Washington: I don’t see them losing a game this season, but their situation is pretty crappy. The PAC 12 is absolutely terrible this year which can affect them when it comes down to strength of schedule. That is why they are currently ranked behind 5 behind A&M their only hope in my opinion is to remain undefeated and hope the voters see that playing in a championship game weighs more than A&M not playing.

Texas A&M: at 7-1 the Aggies have been playing out of their mind this season with their only loss this season coming to Bama you could say if the Aggies finish 11-1 their season is beyond successful. The only issue is they won’t play in the SEC championship game which could hurt them against a team who does play a championship game. If Washington remains undefeated, and wins the PAC-12 outright and the championship game they could catch the short end of the stick and fall out of the picture. Let’s see if they can evade any late season turmoil that they have suffered in the past.

Wisconsin: I mention them because they are in a pretty good situation. With 2 losses coming from Ohio State and Michigan their resume looks good. If they win the BIG 10 west and go on to win the Conference championship they could be looking at a shot of getting into the playoff picture. Regardless the championship game will be a rematch between either Ohio State or Michigan. But a lot of help would be needed, but it isn’t impossible.

There’s plenty of football left in the season and plenty of scenarios could play out. That’s why I love college football never know what is going to happen at the end of the day.

College Football Weekly

It is now week 6 in college football play and this season so far has been more than exciting. We have so far seen plenty of upsets, exciting down to the wire games, last second Hail Mary’s, and much much more.

Recap

So I didn’t post last week due to a Thursday game here at Texas Tech so we have some catching up to do. Going back to week 4; not much exciting happened in my opinion besides Wisconsin absolutely embarrassing Michigan State on their home turf, and Ole Miss being able to beat Georgia in Convincing fashion. Fast forward to week 5 and now we are in business. Who would have thought Washington was THIS good; I mean I knew they were a tough team but I didn’t see them being Stanford by 38 points. In fact, I don’t think anyone saw that coming. Ohio State continues its dominance with a young team. This makes you think are they the real deal, or have they yet to find someone who is able to push them to the absolute limit. I was rooting for Wisconsin to beat Michigan but with an amazing last second interception. Michigan was able to hang on by the hair on the back of their neck. Miracles still exist as Tennessee wins off a Hail Mary as time expires to beat Georgia, mind you this happened after Georgia had just thrown a hail mary of their own which seemed to be the game winner. North Carolina upsets Florida State in Tallahassee which they haven’t done; ever. Indiana takes Michigan State the distance and holds off with a 3-point win in overtime. In what was possibly the matchup of the year, Clemson was able to fend off a powerful Louisville offense to bring home the win. Now this game had tons of implications, yet Louisville isn’t out of the playoff picture quite yet. There is a possibility that we could see both Clemson and Louisville playing in the college football playoff this season, now tell me that won’t be exciting. 2 non SEC teams in the playoff would be great.

News

As we all may know by now LSU decided to part ways with long time coach Les Miles. While the tigers have been struggling as of late this decision to some may not be a shocker. The tigers have been struggling offensively for some time now, and can’t seem to have consistent play at the quarterback position. They also seem to lose leads late in the game. It won’t be long before Les finds himself at the helms of another program, and you can nothing but respect the way he still supports the tigers and whishes the team the best during the rest of the season.

News coming from the BIG XII; Texas head coach Charlie Strong will be taking over the defensive responsibilities for the Longhorns. While former defensive coordinator Vance Bedford has been demoted to the defensive backs coach. This is a smart move by the longhorns who have been struggling to hang on to game to close out for a win. With Strong calling the defensive shots you can expect to see a better scheme and players fit for the Charlie strong vision. On the other hand, if Charlie doesn’t see success even after taking over as the DC; could we possibly see the longhorns pursue Les Miles? I suppose only time will tell.

Weekend Outlook

Currently the top 10 teams look like this: Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, Michigan, Washington, Houston, Louisville, Texas A&M, Tennessee and Miami.

OU and Texas face off in the Annual red river shootout. This game means a great deal to both programs. OU is looking to find an answer to the slump they’ve been in. Texas looks to knock OU off for a second consecutive year. Both programs are 2-2 and out of the playoff picture. But with how shaky the conference the winner of this game may be able to sneak into the top of the conference.

College Game day is in College Station this weekend as Tennessee and A&M face off in a top 10 matchup. It seems as if the Aggies have some consistency at the QB position this year, and from what it looks like Tennessee’s leading rusher may be sidelined with an injury.

Florida State is looking to bounce back and end Miami’s undefeated season.

Games to Watch

Alabama (1) VS Arkansas (16)

Florida State (23) VS Miami (10)

Virginia Tech (25) VS North Carolina (17)

Indiana VS Ohio State (2)

Texas VS Oklahoma (20)

Tennessee (9) VS Texas A&M (8)

Boy oh boy do I love me some college football. Last weekend was full of trick plays, games that went down to the wire, an FCS team who beat a ranked FBS team, and so much more.

Recap

Let me hit you all with a short little recap from last weekend and this past Thursday night game. Let me get this out of my system now and say that OU’s backup QB should have kept his mouth shut because those Buckeyes walked into Norman with a purpose and walked out with a convincing victory silencing all of the critics who said they are too young of a team to beat OU on the road.  Moving right along North Dakota State needs to go ahead and join the FBS. They knocked off a 13^th ranked Iowa Hawkeye team who in fact have been good over the past couple of seasons. But the Bison are a special FCS team; not only do they dominate in the FCS playoffs this is their 6^th consecutive win against a FBS opponent, if that’s not impressive I don’t know what is. Everyone in the nation knows Louisville and their QB Lamar Jackson was the truth and would be a tough team to beat, but the way the beat the 2^nd ranked team in the nation by a 43-point margin is absolutely absurd.

Remember when I released my top 5 receivers in the NCAA and I had Jonathan Giles of Texas Tech as one of the players to look out for; well check this out against Louisiana Tech the true sophomore had 6 receptions for 186 yards and 3td’s and on the season so far through 3 games he has tallied 19 receptions for 346 yards and 5td’s. Currently ranked 11^th in the nation for total receiving yards and tied for 1^st in total receiving td’s while there is plenty of time left in the season you all definitely need to keep your eyes out on him.

News

What happened to handing the ball to the ref’s when scoring a touchdown. Is that not a thing anymore? There have been 3 incidents where players have let go of the ball before they even break the plane, some of the calls go unnoticed like Joe Mixon’s return for a touchdown that he fumbled before he broke the plane. Others get blown by the ref saying the ball wasn’t recovered immediately like the call that was made in the Texas v. Cal game. Whatever the case may be players shouldn’t put their team in that situation or subject themselves to whatever potential outcome that could happen because they got a little too excited and opted to celebrate before they even score. I’m curious as to if this will be a reoccurring issue throughout the season, or will coaches implement touchdown rules like Urban Meyer did at Ohio State. I guess only time will tell. Let me know what you guys think down in the comments.

Weekend Outlook

We resume action this weekend with a lot of teams opening up in conference play. Currently the top 10 teams look like this: Alabama, Ohio State, Louisville, Michigan, Clemson, Houston, Stanford, Michigan State, Washington (probably the biggest surprise no one talks about but trust me they are good), and Texas A&M.

While I don’t think Clemson will win the ACC this year if Louisville can keep up this level of play, they seemed to have gotten things together offensively Thursday night against Georgia Tech outgaining them 442yds – 124yds which is pretty impressive. But after such a sluggish start I wonder what they seem to be missing.

Look for USC to put up a fight against Utah tonight as they search for their identity that they have yet to find.

Georgia and Ole Miss square off which should be an interesting game. Can Ole Miss’s defense stop Nick Chubb, and on the other side can Georgia stop the ferocious Ole Miss offense led by Chad Kelley.

Michigan State and Wisconsin meet up in their Big 10 opener which will probably be a low scoring slug fest. MSU coming off a huge win against Notre Dame looks to carry all of the momentum over to this weekend’s match up.

Games to Watch

Georgia (12) @ Ole Miss (23)

Wisconsin (11) @ Michigan State (8)

Penn State @ Michigan (4) – potential upset

Florida (19) @ Tennessee (14)

Oklahoma State @ Baylor (16) – while OSU is unranked due to some unfortunate blown call by an official, they usually match up well against Baylor no matter where they play.

Arkansas (17) @ Texas A&M (10) – Being played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

First off let me start this blog off by apologizing... I know it’s going into the third week of CFB but understand I am a college student and have so much on my plate right now, while that is no excuse for my lack of content updates I hope anyone who reads this blog on a consistent basis understands what I am going through and supports me no matter what. With that being said let’s start off where we left off last season and keep the train rolling!

I’ll start with the first week of ball, Houston went off on Oklahoma with a small margin win, Greg Ward III is the truth at the QB position and has proven to all fans that he can perform under the lights; while a highly anticipated OU team lost. Deshaun Watson and his Clemson tigers are off to a pretty slow start as well as the Ohio State Buckeyes. While both teams are 2-0 at this point we can note both of the offenses have seen some struggles in the first half. Secondly I have seen a University of Texas team succeed under the pressure that it has needed for years to come. I think that Texas is one of those teams that no one can sleep on this year as the Big XII is wide open for who could be the outright champ.

The SEC has proven that it isn’t the top conference in the nation but still retains the top teams in CFB. With that being said there are teams in the ACC that can give the SEC a run for their money let alone top teams in the other power 5 conferences.

Greg Ward III has stepped on the scene early as a Heisman candidate with his amazing stats down at the University of Houston. While the school is still in the American Conference; Houston has made a statement of why they should be in the Big XII; The conference is currently wide open with the youngest team being the only undefeated.

Now let’s talk some business... Oklahoma lost to Houston Week one, Notre Dame Lost to Texas in an Overtime thriller, Alabama dominated USC with a smooth statement from Lane Kiffin to the Athletic Coordinator. Arizona States RB tied a NCAA record with 8td’s against Texas Tech in week 2 at home with a poor defensive effort from Tech. Florida state came back at half time to beat a talented Ole Miss team week 1. There’s still a ton of great football to be played including this weekend. Let’s not mention that Oklahoma State lost to Central Michigan because the referees made a GIANT mistake, but this wouldn’t be the first time the refs did that to Oklahoma State. There are a lot of FCS teams who should have come out with victories against FBS teams as well, so it makes you think if the NCAA is as tough as possible... Texas and Wisconsin also both jumped into the top 15 after defeating ranked opponents who were in the top 10, so it makes you wonder what the ranking system is like this year? 

This weekend Oklahoma plays Ohio State and OU’s backup QB is the one talking trash (what a game that will be). Texas Tech looks to redeem themselves from an embarrassing defensive performance against a no name running back at Arizona State who in fact only scored 9 career TD’s prior to the game last Saturday…

Major games this weekend.

Ohio State (3) Vs Oklahoma (14)

Michigan State (12) Vs Notre Dame (18)

Texas A&M (17) Vs Auburn; simply because I don’t feel like A&M has found themselves yet and are susceptible to an early loss this year

Texas (11) Vs Cal; Texas lost to Cal last year on a special teams play, it will be interesting to see how they bounce back with a young team and ride the momentum off of the Notre Dame victory.

Aside from Alabama, there are some solid games within the top 25 this week, while it may be too early to predict the Heisman; I expect all contenders to preform above and beyond this weekend before most conferences reach inner conference play
