a nice break from the action in Week 12, not sure what to make of Ohio St losing, I knew they didn't look good all season but it seems as though the locker room has some issues as well with EE and CJ, they are the ones making it known but is Urban losing control there? something is off, just think the pressure of defending champ and passionate fan base is too much for some kids to overcome, if they beat Michigan then they are still alive with those Big10 voices being on the committee, don't count them out just yet, that committee loves some Buckeye
was pleasantly suprised in Baylor showing some heart and basically dominating with Bama like run defense, Billings was awesome and it is almost completely healthy, Stidham is really hurting but our 3rd string almost gives me that Ohio St kind of feel from last year with his ability to create with this feet, he has the best WR group in the country, just has to get the ball to them, thought both lines of scrimmage were dominated by Baylor and to win despite having 3 turnovers is awesome, reallly proud of the Bears
Bama did what they needed to do, when you play teams like that you have to own them and they did, being a Baylor fan I know what it's like to play the cupcakes of the world, will Auburn give them a scare for a quarter or so? probably so, but that's about it, Bama wins with ease
not sure how anyone could think Florida is a top10 team, they have a nice defense but it literally takes them 15 quarters to score 40 points, that offense has no business in any sort of hunt for any sort of title, if Cook is healthy this week then fsu should muster up enough offense against one of the best defenses in the country and pull out a win, don't see how you could expect anything but a low scoring grinding type of battle in that one since FSU hasn't score at all away from Tally, game could be 10-6 with either winning, will be ugly football to watch unless you enjoy punting and awesome defense, I don't
Notre Dame is banged up and not deep enough to be a top4 team, OU, Bama, Baylor etc would easily beat that team in my opinion, that's just me, I do like them but not enough to give them a playoff spot unless they win at Stanford and lots of others fall in the next two weeks
Iowa just keeps on winning and while I don't think they are playoff material either, if they keep winning and win the Big10 title then you have to put them in the playoff, undefeated and winning a major conference has to be in, even if they will be a sacrificial lamb in the end, zero chance of that team winning a national championship but a good story for their fanbase, I know some Iowa fans, great people
Houston is banged up and came down to earth by losing at Uconn, Memphis has completely died and wishes they could play Ole Miss every week because these AAC teams are tough on them
, Herman & Fuentes both need wins if they want the big jobs that will be open at the end of the year like a Georgia, LSU, SCaro, etc
speaking of LSU, I like this job, think that is a gold mine for the right coach, if they got an offensive mind there to go with their defensive talent every year then we could be talking title town again, if they had any brains at all in Baton Rouge then they would get Briles at about 7 mill a year and start wiping the floor with teams like Ole Miss & Arkansas, Patterson would also be a great fit there with his new coordinators, what a great job LSU is, they need to hire someone that can get the fans fired up again, LES is a great guy but his teams can't beat Bama anymore and if you lose to Bama every year then you better beat the rest of your schedule, I'm not sure I could fire him but I think they will, I really do
Georgia could also be a great job with the right hire, lots of talent around that place and Athens is awesome for a college town, they need to move on as well and get new blood in there, UGA should win the east every single year
I don't think SCaro is on the same level with those two as far as jobs go, I'd rank them 1. LSU 2. UGA 3. Scar, just my opinion
it's a great time of year to watch college, so many of the good teams have crucial injuries to key players making it much more of a strange year
it would seem that Bama is the healthiest of the big dogs and they have a layup into the playoff having to play Auburn and Florida, as the weeks go by they are looking better for a title chance, health is the key and they have it right now, they also have a great defensive line
my current rankings:
1. Clemson
2. Alabama
3. Mich St.
4. Oklahoma
5. Iowa, 6. Baylor, 7. Notre Dame
this week has some interesting opening lines and I have hit several
