It is now Week 3 in the season.  So far it is still a small sample size to figure out teams, but there are some trends that are potentially emerging.  The obvious is that Clemson is probably going to go unchallenged all season.  It looked like Texas A&M and Syracuse would be the toughest tests for the Tigers heading into the season.  They dominated A&M and now Syracuse doesn't look that great coming off a 43 point drubbing at the hands of Maryland.  The other trend is that the blue bloods continue to dominate the top of the rankings.  Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma, and Ohio State sit at the top of the rankings.  It feels like it's that way every year.  Can someone crash the Playoff party this year?  Can there be some random upset that makes no sense and throws the season into chaos?  One can hope!  Read more...

This week has a couple of marquee games as Texas A&M-Clemson and LSU-Texas face off.  These two games more than likely will have major implications in shaping the national title picture going forward.  Texas A&M only lost by 2 points at home to Clemson last year.  This time they have to go on the road, but what kind of tectonic shift in the national narrative will happen if Clemson goes down?  LSU fancies itself a contender and is aiming to knock Alabama off its perch in the SEC west.  Even if they lose this game, the SEC is still achievable.  If you win the SEC you are in the Playoff.  Read more...

An opening week that only had one game between ranked teams ended up providing plenty of intrigue.  There were many instances where it was shown age is but a number.  True freshman quarterbacks making 4th quarter comebacks, senior citizen coaches winning football games.  One of those true freshman quarterbacks is Bo Nix who engineered a second half comeback against Oregon that included a last second touchdown pass to win the game.  Read more...
