Tailgate season coming to a close
3 min readAmerican Football$1.18 pending
It's hard to believe we are rolling into the end of the college football season already. It seems like just the other day I had high hopes for the Michigan State Spartans and their new coach only to see them dashed after the first couple cupcake games of the season were out of the way.
Thankfully, they look like they might be turning things around, then again, the Michigan rivalry game is another beast all together. The teams just seem to play a little different during the game. The same is true for the Michigan/Ohio State game. There is just something different about it.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is moving forward while those unranked teams do whatever it is they are doing. Michigan State faces Washington on Saturday around 4:30 PM, and I honestly don't know how that is going to go.
Meanwhile, tonight, we have Illinois heading into UCLA where the number 4 Bruins are undefeated so far this season. How the heck did I not notice that earlier. It's almost like they came out of nowhere and suddenly they are in the top 5. If I had guessed any team from California was going to pull that off I would have went with USC before UCLA, but here we are.
That could be an interesting game tonight. Illinois only has three losses and it's hard to maintain perfection. You just never know what might happen.
I don't quite understand how, but Ohio State is still hanging in there at number 20. I would have expected them to be out of the top 25 after their last two losses. In fact, the way things are going, that game against Michigan which looked like a sure win for them isn't looking like it is a foregone conclusion now.
Number 18 USC is heading into number 9 Indiana this weekend. That could be an interesting game in the Big Ten, meanwhile, number 22 Missouri is facing number 1 Georgia in the SEC.
I also wouldn't sleep on number 19 Mississippi heading into Oklahoma. That could be a big upset. In fact, Vegas feels the same way as me. Just barely!
I also wouldn't be surprised if once again unranked Florida plays spoiler this weekend when they head into Kentucky to take on the number 11 Wildcats.
Number 6 Texas is facing off against number 21 LSU, and number 2 Utah has a bid down in Arizona against that number 23 team.
Finally, the last big match up of the weekend pits number 12 Texas Tech against number 25 Oklahoma State. I wouldn't sleep on a home field advantage upset there either.
We might not have quite as many big ranked matchups as we did last weekend, but I think there is still a lot of exciting football to be found this weekend if you look hard enough!
