Drama in the top 5! SEC double header murkies the waters even more! Oregon rolls, still looks #1. Texas closes the gap on OSU. Indiana wins a close one against a still really tough Michigan team, they just flat out look better than PSU right now. Penn St, TN, and Notre Dame all hold serve. Miami finally takes a loss, an offensive no show on Saturday, they justtttt have an edge over Ole Miss. Speaking off, another SEC cluster. Ole Miss takes 9 due to them looking more complete than Bama and UGA, Bama takes 9 because they are just playing better than UGA right now, that month long stretch is hurting Bama right now in moving above Miami or Ole Miss. Boise St runs all over a tough Nevada team, I think they have hit their ceiling unless chaos in front of them happens. Colorado is the best team in the Big 12, they are ranked as such. I had hope for BYU, I gave them a chance to impress in the top 12 and they squandered it, extreme fraud alert for BYU right now. Wouldn’t be shocked with them finishing 10-2. TAMU and SMU on a bye, Clemson slips below SMU, just looking back on it SMU is slightly better to me as it stands. Army trails for the first time all year (3-0)… absolutely shuts down a potent North Texas offense. South Carolina, no one wants to play them the rest of the year; are they this years 2023 Arizona team??? They have a good chance at it. LSU gets smoked at home… at night. Still a solid team, extremely small chance of SEC Championship Game and playoffs. Arizona St continues to look good, and this time does it without Skattebo. Louisville is solid team, looking and playing better than Iowa St at this point. Tulane rolling, 2 crucial games for them coming up vs Navy and Memphis. Welcome for the first time ever to the NMP, ULL. Wooldridge has looked really good this year, only loss to Tulane by 8, could they fight for a playoff spot??
Heisman Race:
Travis Hunter, Colorado
Ashton Jeanty, Boise St
Cam Ward, Miami
Travis puts up another impressive performance at WR and CB, Jeanty just off pace of breaking Barry’s records, Ward takes a loss. Its getting close to a 2 horse race in my eyes.
