Ryan Williams from Alabama, what a phenomena he is. I just want to share that. The body concoctions he had to do to catch passes against Georgia. That 17 year old is going to be a star.


Look back: 


  1. Miami vs Virginia Tech- controversy surrounding the refs calls more than once including the final call that gave Miami the win- 38-34
  2. Minnesota vs Michigan- Michigan barely squeezes this win out- 27-24
  3. Kentucky vs Ole Miss- huge upset- Kentucky wins 20-17
  4. Georgia Vs Alabama, instant classic. Literally why we watch football. Alabama up 21 points in the first quarter. Georgia fights their way back. Takes the lead with a minute left. But Milrow connects for a TD pass and seals the win, 41-34. 
  5. Arizona takes out #10 Utah. Arizona got their first Big12 win in a 23-10 victory against Utah. Isaac Wilson threw 2 interceptions and was 20/40. Notre Dame exactly the best performance in his Devon start as Cam Rising recovers from injury 



Questions for the week:


  1. Will we get to watch Liberty play app state?
  2. BYU is winning the Big12 right now. Great QB play, if they stay healthy, looking at there schedule they may be undefeated. If they lose the Big 12 championship but only have that lose, are they still in the playoff?
  3. Big12- BYU, Colorado, Texas Tech, Iowa State, Kansas State and Utah all look like contenders to win. What if Colorado beats Kansas State on the 12th? They then play Texas Tech, Utah and Oklahoma State in November. Do they fall apart from here? 
  4. James Madison scored 176 points in 4 games. They are on fire it seems and put up 70 points against UNC. They can easily go undefeated with a very light schedule left. Would they take the place of an undefeated liberty as the group of 5 playoff spot just because they beat UNC?
  5. Heisman race: Jaylen Milroe, Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, Ashton Jeanty- Boise State 



Games of the week:

  1. Michigan State at #6 Oregon- Experts are predicting a challenging game for Michigan State as they face #6 Oregon. Here are some key points. Oregon’s Strengths: Oregon is expected to leverage their home advantage at Autzen Stadium. Despite only covering the spread once in four games this season, they are seen as strong contenders Michigan State’s Defense: Michigan State’s defense has been highlighted for its ability to get to the quarterback, ranking 12th in the country in sacks2. This could be crucial in limiting Oregon’s offensive plays. Predictions: Many experts believe that Oregon will handle the game well at home, especially given Michigan State’s recent struggles
  2. #9 Mizzu at Texas A&M- for Mizzu this is a must win game to stay relevant. Texas A&M is favored by 1.5 points. The key to this game  for Mizzu is Brady Cook taking control of this game early, which he’s struggled to do all season. Texas A&M has played well at home. Starter Conner Wigman may be back this game. 
  3. #12 Ole Miss at South Carolina coming off of devastating lost in Kentucky. The only way Ole Miss stays relevant is to win this game.
  4. Iowa at #3 Ohio State 
  5. Rutgers at Nebraska 
  6. #25 UNLV at Syracuse 
  7. #4 Tennessee at Arkansas
