The Penn State/Michigan game was absolutely amazing. Glad Penn State won.
That was an awesome game (yes, I watched a U of M game). Michigan literally had a "long shot" at winning it in regulation (52 yd. field goal attempt) .... missed. The overtimes were a joke, marred with missed field goals, fumble. It was as if either team was really wanting to win.
Maybe the biggest game this upcoming weekend is Florida State at Clemson.
True dat John. 👍
That's gonna be a huge ACC game.
Something interesting that I've heard some people talking about.
Who really deserves the #1 spot in College Football ... Alabama or Oregon ? Has Oregon done enough to make a statement, enough to take over that #1 ranking ? Or is 'Bama the well deserving one here ?
Lets take a peeksie at something.
'Bama is sitting at 6-0. But have they solidified it to this point ? They are putting up a pretty decent amounts of offensive points (219), and the defense is holding pretty tight (66 points allowed). They have played some cupcake and formidable opponents.
31-10 over Virginia Tech
49-42 over Texas A&M
31-6 over Colorado State
25-0 over Ole Miss
45-3 over Georgia State
48-7 over Kentucky
Lets look at the 6-0 Ducks up to this point. They've racked up 341 offensive points and have gave up 83 points . They too have played some formidable and cupcake opponents.
66-3 over Nicholls State
59-10 over Virginia
59-14 over Tennessee
55-16 over California
57-16 over Colorado
45-24 over Washington
Who has / is making a better statement ? Strength of schedule (up to this point) is fairly equal. Perhaps the 'Bama win over A&M is the deciding factor ? Gonna be something to see what happens in the rankings with these teams as the year progresses on.
The Ducks remaining schedule :
Washington State
UCLA
Stanford
Utah
Arizona
Oregon State
The Tides remaining schedule :
Arkansas
Tennessee
LSU
Mississippi State
Chattanooga
Auburn
Me personally (just my opinion), I feel that the Ducks should be sitting in the #1 spot with 'Bama at a close second. Should these teams both finish up undefeated, I think you have to eventually / somewhere down the line give the nod to Oregon. I think the remaining schedule sums it all up, the Ducks have a tougher road to haul.
Sorry nielsanman2, just expressing thoughts, don't take it personal.
