1. UCF. The champions remain champions with a 56-36 win over Florida Atlantic. McKenzie Milton may have telekinesis, or he could be a great quarterback. The fact that we can confuse the two is probably the biggest compliment that a quarterback can get, and really only applies to another quarter in college football.
That's right: Joe Burrow, LSU.
* This is not Joe Burrow, but rather Tua Tagovailoa from Alabama.
2. Stanford. 38-31 on Oregon. Do not look at the score of the box, do not look at the tape, and do not try to understand why Oregon, with the ball and needing only to miss almost all of it. time by taking a knee, decided to call instead a real racing game. Oregon offensive midfielder, CJ Verdell, fumbled, Stanford scored a goal on the pitch and Oregon looked rushed. Overtime was probably over even before it started.
Know this: Stanford was hammered on the field at Stade Autzen for almost half a day, he almost fell 30-7 at one point …
… and continued to hook up the numbers of their football machine until something worked. The cardinal outpaced the easy turnovers, and after a frustrating start, he used Bryce Love on counterfeits while passing the game to K.J. Costello in the quarterback.
It worked because the Stanford J.J. Arcega-Whiteside receiver against most DBs looks like a dad playing ball against his son. It worked because the cardinal on the road in a brutal environment followed his game plan as he had gone through the practice.
It worked because Stanford was lucky, of course. But luck must be well managed, and it's hard to handle luck better than turning what appeared to be an imminent Oregon TD into a breakaway for a TD of your choice. It's hard to do much better than to have the gift of a fumble with the clock fading and dragging by three, yes, but the small teams also panicked.
Oregon has surpassed Stanford by huge margins in all major categories (including, finally, business figures). It does not matter in the end, because Stanford plays the right kind of opportunistic and cold football that does not sweat – especially when he gets the gift of three turnovers.
It's Stanford, the coldest college football school. Give them gifts is just an insult.
3. Kentucky. Awarded 28-7 on the state of Mississippi.
Kentucky is 4-0. The last time the Wildcats were 4-0, the year was 2008, and the US banking sector has almost collapsed. Am I saying that football in Kentucky will be really good and start a new financial crisis?
No, what I'm saying is that Kentucky fans do not really care about what's going on as many of them do not trust banks and would live well by trading into a post company. -apocalyptique. one, not even Kentucky fans, is sure to know what to do with this information either.
Mississippi State came on average 311 yards per game on the ground. They left Lexington with 56 yards rushing and the justified opinion that Kentucky – in football – could be good.
Again, this is confusing for everyone, so that Benny Snell, deeply underrated, posting pictures of himself wearing a bulldog like a loaf of bread, seems like an excellent adaptation strategy for all interested.
P.S. This Kentucky 2008 team finished 7-6. LIFE IS IMPREVISIBLE. TAKE A LOFTY RANK WHILE YOU CAN AND RUN WITH THAT, WILDCATS.
4. Alabama. 45-23 on Texas A & M. The Aggies did not look too overrated, in fact. They smothered the racing game, holding the tide at a mere 109 yards on the ground. In fact, they surpassed Alabama on the field, although most of the 130 Aggies came on a 54-yard sprint by QB Kellen Mond.
What I'm saying is that Tagovailoa – four TDs and 387 passing yards, no big deal, all with the aura of a natural demi-god, the touch of a young Aaron Rodgers, and adorable cartoon birds singing on his shoulders – are perfect. There is nothing to do about it.
The racing game is not perfect though. The defense has lost face-to-face battles with Texas A & M players. All of this is compounded by an epic and repeated detonation of Nick Saban at a news conference this week about how THINK WE CAN JUST ROLL "EM OUT HERE AND WIN, DO YOU? Book it, although Alabama does not really have an obvious match right now.
5. Clemson. 49-21 against Georgia Tech. A game that tells you nothing about what you did not know about either team, except that: freshman Trevor Lawrence is Clemson's quarterback, and Kelly Star is at his best. side.
Everyone already knew it, so yes: nothing new.
The Yellow Jackets seem to be concentrating on their work this season and letting football be the pleasant distraction of the weekend.
6. Georgia. 43-29 on Mizzou, a result that depends on editing, when it comes to saying if it was good or worrying for Georgia.
For example:
- It was the closest victory to the Bulldogs of the season! (They won by 14 on the road in a match that never really felt out of control.)
- The defense allowed 172 yards and four points on the ground, far too much for a team, and even less for the defense against the race! (The defense was Drew Lock, Mizzou's quarterback, averaging 900 yards per game against another, 221 yards and no overtime.)
- The offensive fought early! (They did it, and it still does not matter, and that's all Kirby Smart is struggling to find something wrong with a team where very few things go wrong.)
7. Penn State. This 63-24 win over Illinois followed the same pattern as every Nittany Lion game. There is a slow start. Then the gassing of the opponent in response to this team appearing competent.
See the moment of this week when, for a few precious seconds, those watching Illinois take advantage over Penn State in the third quarter thinking "Maybe Illinois is good this year!" "
Then Penn State unloads all points in about 15 minutes of play and destroyed everything in sight. Remember that if the state of Ohio leaves you room for maneuver: that's fine, because Penn State has 35 hidden points somewhere. Once they've found it, oh buddy, that's when you're in difficulty.
8. Buffalo. A 42-13 victory over Rutgers does not count much. We are talking about Rutgers, one of the few terribly verified teams in 2018.
Nevertheless, the big blue monster of the MAC is 4-0, and also not to be satisfied with winning a Power 5 team. No, Buffalo dropped the whole house on Rutgers, then had this house demolished, then dropped another house above this house.
Do you see, Buffalo? There is at least one sports franchise in your city.
9. Our Lady. A 56-27 win over Wake Forest means a little something. The 56-point crisis came mainly from Brian Kelly's departure from quarterback Ian Book against Brandon Wimbush.
Book got 325 yards and two touchdowns, the offense went off after struggling for a good part of the season and Notre Dame played an excellent defensive game against an attack that tore apart defenses. (No, really, it's one thing in 2018. They are good.)
In addition, Wake Forest tried to go out in a goal formation on the field without a kicker.
10. Ohio State. A 49-21 win over Tulane does not say much, even though it helps answer the question: "Which school where even smart students got into a social environment has a top football team?
