We did not learn much about the best university football teams in Week 1, and Week 2 will not be the most important Saturday in 2018 either.
But! As always, we followed every game of the current top-25 in the most likely prospect of the College Football Playoff Committee in December. This means judging each team's victory, not based on their current appearance, but rather how they are most likely to end up at the end. If this is too complicated for you, well, at least the final scores are there.
Remember the rewards the committee has shown: winning on top 25 teams, winning on teams, winning, winning odd wins, being in Alabama and not being a mid-major. It does not matter the rank of your opponent at the time of sending.
All AP rankings, for the moment. Final notes in italics.
The games in which the winning team will probably have a good week of end of season by the end of the season. It turns out that all these teams are currently ranked AP.
- # 2 Clemson (2-0) 28, Texas A & M (1-1) 26: The Aggies scared the Tigers, but based on how QB Kellen Mond opposed the proven Clemson defense, this Clemson W should finish in quality.
- No. 3 Georgia (2-0) 41, No. 24 South Carolina (1-1) 17: So, UGA just closed SEC East in week 2 LMAO, adding a solid victory on the road in the process.
- # 10 Stanford (2-0) 17, No. 17 USC (1-1) 3: I do not really know why the Pac-12 likes to play this game at the beginning of every year, ensuring that one of its few national programs is defeated in September, but the committee does not seem to care . when you lost. Stanford is fit.
- Arizona State (2-0) 16, No. 15 Michigan State (1-1) 13: hahahahahaahhaa
Games in which the winner will probably have beaten a decent bowl team (or better), and I am slightly generous in week 2 because it is a lightweight program.
- No. 1 Alabama (2-0) 57, Arkansas State (1-1) 7: Boosting the potential champion of Sun Belt is good, not that Bama needs the same kind of impressive material for committees as we do.
- No. 13 Penn State (2-0) 51, Pitt (1-1) 6: A must on the road to one of the many .500 CAC teams.
- No. 18 Mississippi State (2-0) 31, Kansas State (1-1) 10: K-State is probably not very good, but still a victory on the road to Power 5.
- No. 21 Michigan (1-1) 49, WMU (0-2) 3: Probably an explosion of a minor bowl team.
- Kentucky (2-0) 27, No. 25 Florida (1-1) 16: The end of the series is more interesting than the theoretical impact of the New Year, but the two teams could realize balls of lesser importance.
Better not to lose!
It is unlikely that the following FBS games involve multiple bowl teams, so it is better to win comfortably:
- No. 4 Ohio State (2-0) 52, Rutgers (1-1) 3
- N ° 5 Wisconsin (2-0) 45, New Mexico (1-1) 14
- No. 6 Oklahoma (2-0) 49, UCLA (0-2) 21
- No. 8 Notre Dame (2-0) 24, Ball State (1-1) 16
- No. 16 TCU 42 (2-0), SMU 12 (0-2)
- No. 20 Boise State (1-0) vs. UConn (0-1), 10:15, ESPNU
And the playoff committee does not care about your FCS games, unless you look really bad:
- No. 7 Auburn (2-0) 63, FCS Alabama State 9
- No. 9 Washington (1-1) 45, FCS North Dakota 3
- # 11 LSU (2-0) 31, FCS Southeastern Louisiana 0
- No. 12 Virginia Tech (2-0) 62, FCS William & Mary 17
- No. 14 West Virginia (2-0) 52, FCS Youngstown State 17
- No. 19 UCF (2-0) 38, FCS South Carolina State 0
- No. 22 Miami (1-1) 77, FCS Savannah State 0
- # 23 Oregon (2-0) 62, FCS Portland State 14
