Valenth's Thoughts from Week 3...
Posted: Sun Sep 19, 2021 11:47 am
Well that week was quite interesting... Heres my Thoughts...
#1. AFTER THIS WEEK.... There might not be a TRUE FRONTRUNNER... There was a LOT of Unlikely close calls this week. Alabama is still the best team until they lose IMO.
#2. I Have to change my thoughts on Ohio State... I don't see them winning the East... unless they REALLY get their act together.
Ohio State looked AWFUL against a very basic Tulsa squad.. they pulled away in the 2nd half... but I think the Buckeyes will lose a couple more games if they don't fix their issues.
#3. Did Florida Expose Alabama in yesterday's Game?
Yesterday's game was quite entertaining... and Alabama for once didn't look like the all powerful team we all thought they looked like.
#4. The ACC just keeps falling in my opinion.
There is ABSOLUTELY NO TEAM in the ACC that looks like a playoff contender. PERIOD. Clemson Escaped Georgia Tech, Notre Dame got By Purdue.. Virginia Tech got Served up to WVU and Pitt fell to MAC entity Western Michigan. The ACC as a whole looks quite bad.
#5. THE BIG XII also not looking all that powerful. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State eeking by their opponents.. Bedlam might determine the Champion of the Conference... we shall see...
#6. The B1G West is ALL IOWA..... the B1G East looks like .... Penn State?
Penn state got a HUGE win against Auburn.. and with Ohio State looking quite dismal... I gotta put Penn State as the B1G East frontrunner now. But flying under the radar possibly is Sparty... BUT.. im not sold on any Michigan School just yet.
#7. COULD THIS BE THE YEAR FOR A GROUP OF 5 TEAM TO MAKE THE PLAYOFF? I THINK SO!
With the ACC and PAC12 looking AWFUL right now... the Group of 5 Playoff Candidate looks to be... you guessed it! Cincinnati!
Cincinnati knocked off Indiana... And coming up they face Notre Dame...IF The Bearcats can knock the Irish off and Run the Table... they have the Resume that could very well catapult the Bearcats into the Playoffs! (And if the Irish win the ACC and the Bearcats win.... HUGE STATEMENT AND BOOSTER FOR THE BEARCATS) Most Group of 5 schools that was highly ranked never got the chance due to a weak Strength of Schedule.. But the Bearcats Wisely Packed their Non conference Schedule with really good Teams! The Bearcats playoff life depends on their match against the Irish.
#8. The PAC12 ... Oregon vs who in the Championship game?
The PAC12 South is a Mess... USC fell to Stanford and UCLA fell to Fresno State... Arizona fell to North Arizona and Arizona State fell to BYU... right now Oregon is the PAC12s only Playoff Shot.
Thoughts?
