The big current debate on college football – Ohio State or Oklahoma? – The first 25 electors of the AP went with the Sooners.
The Buckeyes rose to sixth place in the Associated Press college's football polls Sunday, due to Michigan's record rush the day before. The selection committee of the university football qualifiers will weigh Tuesday when it publishes its latest ranking. Michigan entered Weekend # 4 in the AP and CFP rankings. Beat Wolverines so convincingly is important.
Gary Patterson, coach of the TCU, has faced the Sooners and Buckeyes this season. The Horned Frogs lost 40-28 to Ohio State in September at AT & T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. They lost 52-27 at home against Oklahoma a month later, as they formed a split team. After TCU managed to qualify for the tournament by beating Oklahoma State on Saturday night in Fort Worth, Patterson defended the Big 12 and supported the Sooners.
"I can tell you as much, being a defensive guy in this league, I can not wait to see all the others defend them instead of me," Patterson said of the Sooners. & # 39; & # 39; All I'm saying is that I'm a coach, I'm just watching. I played Ohio State. I saw what they did in Michigan today. I tell you, I played both. I know who I would prefer to play again. And who I would not want. & # 39; & # 39;
He added: "These are two good football teams. For now, my Twitter feed can be hammered all night long. & # 39; & # 39;
After Heat Check, Ohio State-Oklahoma is about to embark on and still believes that Missouri is being left out and wishes, as usual, that voters will reward more and more. 39 teams not belonging to Power Five with these five places.
No. 1 Alabama (12-0)
Next: c. No. 5 Georgia, SEC championship.
According to CBS Sports research, the Tide is the first team since Yale in 1888 to win each of its first 12 games of 20 points. The toughest tests are yet to come, but Alabama is currently preparing the biggest season in its history.
Thermal control: just right.
N ° 2 Clemson (12-0)
Next: vs. Pittsburgh ACC Championship
Coach Dabo Swinney claimed that a 21-point win against South Carolina was not impressive enough. That's what comes with 42-4 over the past four seasons. Think of it as a good problem.
Thermal control: just right.
No 3 Our Lady (12-0)
Next: to be determined.
Best Assistant Coach this Season: How about offensive coordinator Chip Long, who helped the Irish stay undefeated with two quarterbacks, a rebuilt offensive and their best running back missing the first four games.
Thermal control: just right.
No. 4 Georgia (11-1)
Next: vs. No. 1 Alabama, SEC championship.
Since losing 20 points to LSU, the Bulldogs have won four games against their Power Five opponents with an average of 19 points per game. They could just be as good as last year 's group.
Thermal control: just right.
Oklahoma No. 5 (11-1)
Next: c. No. 11 Texas, Big 12 championship.
The Sooners' offense could be even better than Alabama's, averaging 8.92 yards per game, which would shatter the 2006 record of 8.58 in Hawaii. You know the rest of the story.
Thermal control: well …….?
No. 6 Ohio State (11-1)
Next: vs. 20 Northwestern, Big Ten championship.
Maybe the Buckeyes are reaching their peak? Or maybe they will fall back into bad habits against Northwestern?
Thermal control: just right. May be?
No. 7 UCF (11-0)
Next: vs. Memphis, AAC championship.
Heat Check is again trying to use UCF in both Oklahoma and Ohio, but the selection committee members will have the same feeling.
Thermal control: just right.
No. 8 Michigan (10-2)
Next: to be determined.
Is it possible that a Michigan season featuring perhaps the most humiliating loss ever suffered by Ohio State be considered a modest success?
Thermal control: just right.
No. 9 Texas (9-3)
Next: c. No. 6 Oklahoma, Big 12 championship.
Compare and contrast with Michigan and you'll see how winning a rivalry game will change a season. The Longhorns will play the Big 12 title game with money from home.
Thermal control: too hot.
No. 10 Washington (9-3)
Next: vs. 17 Utah, Pac-12 championship, Friday.
Not that complicated: The Huskies beat Washington State every year because they have better players.
Heat Control: Touch too hot.
No. 11 Florida (9-3)
Next: to be determined.
Felepe Franks has 23 touchdowns, six interceptions and 58% of his passes. At the moment, the high-efficiency passes are not great, but it's the best quarterback game the Gators have had since Tim Tebow.
Thermal control: too cold.
No. 12 Washington State (10-2)
Next: to be determined.
A bad performance in the snow against a good side team will probably cost QB Gardner Minshew a chance to be a Heisman Trophy finalist. Probably not right.
Heat control: a touch too hot.
LSU No. 12 (9-3)
Next: to be determined.
While the Tigers deserved better than A & M, they may have had some bad breaks after a rather favorable season.
Thermal control: too cold
No. 14 Penn State (9-3)
Next: to be determined.
The offense went beyond defense and allowed the Nittany Lions to remain in play in 2018.
Thermal control: too cold.
No. 15 West Virginia (8-3)
Next: to be determined.
It's always difficult for teams like West Virginia not to participate in this special season, because who knows when it will be in this position again?
Thermal control: too hot.
No. 16 Kentucky (9-3)
Next: to be determined.
LB Josh Allen, a finalist in several college football awards, including defensive player Bednarik of the year, can become Kentucky 's first big winner since Bob Gain won the Outland Trophy in 1950.
Thermal control: too hot.
No. 17 Utah (9-3)
Next: c. No. 10 Washington, Pac-12 Championship, Friday
With 22 tackles for the loss, five sacks and two interceptions, LB Chase Hansen defends the Pac-12 defensive player of the year.
Thermal control: too cold.
No. 18 Syracuse (9-3)
Next: to be determined.
The season has been excellent for Orange, considering its position in recent years, but its most impressive achievement has been to catch Clemson on a day off.
Thermal control: too hot.
No. 19 Boise State (10-2)
Next: vs. 25, Fresno State, Mountain West Championship.
Playing most of their important games at home was a boon to the Broncos.
Heat control: too hot.
No. 20 State of Mississippi (8-4)
Next: to be determined.
The Bulldogs have crushed smaller teams with the strength of Alabama this season.
Thermal control: Tad too cold.
No. 21 North West (8-4)
Next: c. No. 10 Ohio State, Big Ten Championship.
The Wildcats are heading to the Big Ten Championship for 21 yards per game.
Thermal control: too hot.
No. 22 Texas A & M (8-4)
Next: to be determined.
The dividing line between a season full of hope and the same age, the same age for the Aggies was a home stretch of seven home runs in which a handful of tight approaches took place.
Thermal control: too hot.
Army No. 23 (9-2)
Next against the Navy in Philadelphia, Saturday, December 8th.
The only team to hold less than 30 points in Oklahoma.
Thermal control: too hot.
No. 24 State of Iowa (7-4)
Next: vs Drake.
In the past two seasons, the Cyclones have lost: 18 consecutive losses against Oklahoma; 10 consecutive losses at Kansas State; a series of six consecutive losses to Oklahoma State; Baylor, TCU and West Virginia have lost four straight games.
Thermal control: too cold.
No. 25 Fresno State (10-2)
Next: at No. 19 Boise State, Mountain West Championship.
Trainer Jeff Tedford's follow-up in the second season with the Bulldogs was even better than his debut.
Thermal control: too cold.
Should be out: Syracuse and Northwestern; Should be in: State of Missouri and Appalachia.
