My Top 5 Most Impressive CFB Teams

5. Stanford
Why?: I think Stanford was very impressive Saturday on the road vs #25 Oregon State, I was really impressed with how they got a lead, and kept a lead for Stanford vs Oregon State.  And that is why they are #5 on my. "Most Impressive Teams"




4. South Carolina
Why?: I think South Carolina was very impressive Saturday, at #5 Missouri being able to come back from 17-0 was amazing.  I think South Carolina proved that they are a elite team winning Saturday at Missouri.




3. Oklahoma
Why?: Oklahoma came in to Saturday ranked #15 on the road vs #10 Texas Tech, and they were in a game kind of like the game South Carolina was in, at a undefeated top ten team Saturday, and what impressed me most is that they held on to their lead.  And won 38-30.



2. Ohio State
Why?: Ohio State came in to Saturday #4 vs a Penn State team coming off a upset victory, vs Michigan.  And what impressed me most about Ohio State Saturday was how they played winning a dominate 63-14, vs Penn State.  Some people, even me thought they might lose Saturday, but they showed other-wise.




1. Oregon
Why?: Oregon was ranked #3 on Saturday at home vs a #12 UCLA team, and what impressed me about this team Saturday, was their poise.  They got down 7-0 early, and it was close at 14-14 for a while, but they broke away winning 42-14.

3. Oregon
2. Florida State
1. Alabama


Why?: You might wonder why Florida State is #2 this week, well I think Florida State really did enough to stay #2 by beating NC State 49-17.  Oregon was also very impressive, but I think if they beat Stanford on the road they will become #2, but for right now I'll put them at #3.

My Players To Watch College Football Week 9

A.J. McCarrron (Alabama)

Why?: Alabama comes in to Saturday ranked #1 at home vs an Tennessee team who is coming off a victory vs South Carolina.  Even though Bama is a big favorite to win this game, they will still need Heisman contender QB A.J. McCarron to play well, because he is the leader of this Bama football team.




Brett Hundley, (UCLA) & Marcus Mariota (Oregon)

Why?: Brett Hundley, and Marcus Mariota are the QB's for both teams, and in this game both of these teams (UCLA), & (Oregon) will play, and need their stars to perform at a high level, because if Marcus Mariota plays well it gives Oregon a great chance, and if Brett Hundley plays well it gives UCLA a great chance.




Christian Hakenberg, & Carlos Hyde

Why?: Penn State heads in to #4 Ohio State Saturday, and Christian Hakenberg is the Penn State QB, and Carlos Hyde is Ohio State's RB, and if Penn State wants to upset #4 Ohio State they must be able to pass the ball well, and if Ohio State wants to go to 8-0 they must run the ball well.  Because if they don't run it well Ohio State will have to pass which is to predictable, and the same with Penn State.

Thursday, October 24, 2013

What To Watch For In College Football

Penn State's Passing Game:

Why?: Penn State heads in to the ''Horse Shoe'' Saturday.  And if they want to win they will need Freshmen QB Christian Hakenberg to pass the ball well, if he doesn't they will be in trouble vs the #4 Ohio State Buckeyes.




Missouri's Defense:

Why?: Missouri plays #21 South Carolina Saturday in a battle of SEC East foes.  But if Missouri wants to win they must play defense, they aren't the type of team that can win in a shoot-out like how Texas A&M can.



UCLA Defense:

Why?: UCLA like Missouri will need their defense to step up Saturday.  Because if they want to win they must play defense or Oregon will put up 50, or possible higher.

2. Oregon                 
1. Alabama


Why?: You might wonder why I have Missouri ahead of Ohio State.  I have them ahead of Ohio State, because Missouri has played tougher teams, and will play tougher teams, then Ohio State has played, and will play.  And because of how they played when their starting QB James Franklin got hurt.

My Top 5 Most Impressive Teams

 5. Ole Miss
Why?: I know that Ole Miss's chances of getting in to The SEC title game, or getting to a BCS bowl game is pretty much out of reach.  But I was still impressed with how they played vs LSU winning 27-24, I'm pretty sure very few people thought they would win, but they did so that's why I was so impressed.


4. Auburn
Why?: I think Auburn was impressive Saturday, nobody really expected them to be able to win in a hostile environment at #7 Texas A&M, but they did.  And they won 45-41 so that's why they are #4 on my. ''Most Impressive Teams''

 3. Missouri
Why?: I think Missouri was very impressive Saturday, because of how they were able to regroup not having your starting QB James Franklin, but still being able win was really impressive to me.



2. Stanford
Why?: I was really impressed with Stanford, because of how they were able to win after losing a heart-breaking loss at Utah.  And of how they played winning 24-10 a tough game vs #9 UCLA was impressive to me.



1. Florida State
Why?: ''Wow!'' was my reaction when I saw the clock hit 0, and the Final Score was 51-14 at #3 Clemson.  I was really impressed with how they got the early lead, but then kept it.  And held it to win 51-14 at Clemson.  So that's why Florida State once again is #1, On my. ''Most Impressive Teams"

Thursday, October 17, 2013

What to Watch for in Week 8 of College Football

UCLA's Passing Game:

Why?: UCLA plays #13 Stanford Saturday.  And Stanford will be playing their best trying not to drop two in a row, but if UCLA wants to win this football game they will need their QB Brett Hundley to pass The ''Pig Skin'' well, if he doesn't this game could be a mess for UCLA.



Clemson's Defense:

Why?: All the talk has been about which is better Florida State's offense, or Clemson's defense.  And that's because Clemson will be facing Heisman contender Jameis Winston, and if they want to win they must shut down that FSU offense.




Missouri's Running Game:
Why?: Missouri will need their running game to show up.  Since Their starting QB James Franklin got hurt, and if they don't they could be in big trouble in this big SEC East battle vs this great Florida defense.

My Top 25 Rankings heading in to Week 8 and Why

25. Wisconsin
24. Auburn

21. Florida
20. Washington
19. Oklahoma

3. Clemson
2. Oregon
1. Alabama



Why?: I think Alabama still deserves the #1 Spot.  I think even though they played Kentucky Saturday, they did not do anything wrong to push them down to #2.  And we all know Oregon Won impressively as well, over a decent Washington team.  But I still don't think there should be any movement of The #1, and #2 teams, I think you still should have to wait until something crazy happens like an Alabama loss.

My Top 5 Most Impressive Teams

5. South Carolina
Why?: South Carolina came in to Saturday with a lot of pressure on them, The Jadeveon Clowney story, and being on the road vs Arkansas especially after their struggle vs Kentucky.  I was very impressed with how they played Saturday winning 52-7.


4. LSU
Why?: LSU was impressive to me, because of how they came out vs Florida, and the ability to keep it up was impressive to me, especially vs a SEC foe.  Even at home I think they deserve the #4 Spot on my. ''Most Impressive Teams''


3. Oregon
Why?: Oregon was impressive to me Saturday, because of the game they were playing after seeing some other teams get upset earlier Saturday.  And having the ability to come out, and win impressively like they did 45-24 is the reason they are #4 on my. ''Most Impressive Teams''


2. Missouri
Why?: I think Missouri was very impressive Saturday vs #7 Georgia, they were on the road playing against another SEC East opponent, and to come out winning like they came out was impressive to me in their 41-26 win.


1. Texas
Why?: Nobody came in to Saturday thinking Texas would upset #12 Oklahoma.  But what impressed me was how they did it.  With all the story lines with Texas Coach Mack Brown, and how they got the early lead, and kept it is the reason they are #1 on my.  ''Most Impressive Teams''

Thursday, October 10, 2013

What to Watch for in College Football Week 7

Washington's Passing game.

Why?: Washington played #5 Stanford last Week.  And the final score was 31-28, and even though the game resulted in a loss, they were still able to keep it close.  And that's because of their ability to pass with star QB Keith Price, but this Week they play #2 Oregon, and they will need more then just running the football if they want to win, they have to pass.



Missouri's Defensive play.

Why?: I think Missouri will need to play well not only on offense, but on defense in this game.  We all know they can put up points with star QB James Franklin, but the real question is how will their defense do? Georgia will most likely have RB Todd Gurley back for this game so if they want to pull of a upset it will have to be by their D.



LSU's Passing game.

Why?: Like Washington, LSU.  Will  need their QB to pass well for LSU it will be Zach Mettenberger, they can't move the ball very well if they don't throw well, so if they plan on beating #17 Florida they will need to pass the ball well.

My Top 5 Best Sleeper Teams heading in to Week 7

5. Northern Illinois  (5-0)
4. Fresno State       (5-0)
3. Texas Tech        (5-0)
2. Virginia Tech      (4-1)
1. Missouri             (5-0)


#1 Missouri Best Sleeper Team 

Why?: Northern Illinois, Fresno State, Texas Tech, and Virginia Tech are all so talented, but I think Missouri is better then most people think.  They have talent on offense with QB James Franklin, and leading the defense they have a talented DB E.J. Gaines.  So that's why they are #1 on my ''Best Sleeper Teams.''

Sunday, October 6, 2013

My Top 5 Most Impressive Teams

5. Oklahoma
Why?: Oklahoma came in to this game ranked #11.  And people thought they may struggle at home vs TCU, but winning like they did even know it wasn't pretty was impressive to me after winning at  Notre Dame the Week before was impressive to me.


4. LSU
Why?: LSU did not come out strong.  But what they did do is win a big conference game on the road they were struggling for most of the 1st half, but I was impressed of how they pulled away to improve to 5-1, and get their 2nd SEC W.



3. Ohio State
Why?: Ohio State played #16 Northwestern on the road.  And most people thought they were on upset alert or could even lose like I thought, and even know they didn't win pretty it was impressive to me, because most teams lose in these kind of games.  But they showed other wise.


2. Stanford
Why?: Stanford was really impressive to me they were on big time upset alert on the road.  But they showed why they are a top 5 team winning 31-28 last night.


1. Florida State
Why?: Florida State was super impressive Saturday once I saw that score 63-0 I knew who was the most impressive team.  Because of how they played on all sides of the ball holding Maryland to 0 points, but then scoring 63 was amazing to me.

Thursday, October 3, 2013

What to Watch for in College Football in Week 6

Maryland's WR Core

Why? : Maryland plays #8 Florida State on Saturday.  And in a huge ACC battle, they will need their WR's to play well.  Stefon Diggs is their star WR, and if he doesn't play well they will be in huge trouble, because C.J Brown is Maryland's QB he is a scrambling type of QB, but if they want to win he will need to pass well.

Clemson's QB Play

Why? : Clemson is a great passing team.  With QB Tajh Boyd leading the way they really need him to play well, because they aren't a huge rushing team so if Tajh Boyd doesn't throw accurately they will be in trouble.


Oregon's CB Play

Why? : Oregon of course will score that's no problem.  But they will need their CB's to play well especially Ifo Ekpre-Olomu will need to play well if they want to have a complete game Saturday vs Colorado.

Tuesday, October 1, 2013

My Top 5 Most Impressive Teams in CFB

5. West Virgina
Why? : West Virginia lost to Maryland 37-0 in Week 4.  But this game vs Oklahoma State was way different, Oklahoma State was a huge favorite even with West Virginia at home.  They played great on all sides of the ball Offense, Defense, Special Teams, leading them to a 30-21 Victory over #11 Oklahoma State.  And that's why in my opinion they have the #5 spot on the most impressive.


4. Virginia Tech
Why? : Virginia Tech was impressive to me.  Because of The way they came in to a pretty hostile environment and still win.  Georgia Tech came in to this game a Favorite.  And for VT to come out Victorious is  very impressive.

3. Oklahoma
Why? : Oklahoma was very impressive to me.  The way on the road vs Notre Dame they started out strong, and was able to maintain their lead.  And the way they forced Turnovers was very impressive.

2. Alabama
Why? : Alabama came in to Saturday on upset alert in everybody's mind.  But they came out and showed otherwise by forcing two turnovers.  And holding Ole Miss to a shutout was really impressive to me.

1. Georgia
Why? : Georgia played #6 LSU Saturday.  Most people thought Georgia would be drained from playing all these Top 10 opponents, but they showed that they were'nt coming out, and winning 44-41. was very impressive.
