This Week’s Look At Some Key Contenders Not Getting Enough Publicity
What a difference a strange weekend of football makes! With Kansas State beating Oklahoma, and LSU taking care of business against Auburn, the playoff picture began to swing toward the SEC getting two teams into the Playoffs. At the moment, the Big Ten still has three undefeated teams, so there is a chance that the Big Ten could get two teams into the Playoffs if the regular season ends with a 13-0 team and a 12-1 or 11-1 team.
Minnesota will get its chance to prove whether they truly are Golden Gophers or just pests digging a hole in the ground. If Minny can beat Penn State, and then the Gophers follow it up with wins at Iowa and at home against Wisconsin, then the least Minnesota could get for a postseason reward would be their first trip to the Rose Bowl since January of 1962.
Having closely watched and diagnosed every scrimmage play in Minnesota’s last two games, this team looks to be legitimate. The Gophers have an excellent inside-outside running attack. Their running backs hit the perimeter quickly with speed. The Gophers can get yards between the tackles as well. Of all the teams we have seen so far this year, Minnesota’s rushing attack is the most consistent among teams that do not use the option.
The Gopher passing attack is one of the best in the nation with Tanner Morgan just a fraction behind Ohio State’s Justin Fields in league passer efficiency.
The Gophers aren’t all offense. The Minnesota defense is surrendering just 284 yards (13th best in the nation) and 20 points per game. But, the defense is on a roll. After giving up 119 points in their first four games, UM has given up just 41 in the last four.
Penn State and Minnesota both have the week off to prepare for this big game. Unfortunately, this is the same day as the Alabama-LSU game, so it will be second banana to the first of many “game of the years.”
Baylor is still undefeated, the final team from the Big 12 that can say that now that Oklahoma has fallen. In order for Baylor to get to the playoffs, the Bears must run the table, and that means almost assuredly having to beat Oklahoma twice. A split puts Baylor in either the Sugar Bowl or Cotton Bowl, if that it their only loss.
Out in the Pac-12, Utah and Oregon face key games this week. Utah plays at Washington, while Oregon plays at USC. If both division leaders win, then they must be put in contention for a playoff spot if the Conference Championship Game winner is 12-1, while the runner-up is 11-2.
In the Group of 5 this week, SMU plays at Memphis, and the winner will be a co-leader with Cincinnati for the Cotton Bowl bid. Appalachian State is still undefeated, but the Mountaineers will have to win out (including winning at South Carolina), while SMU will have to lose a game, before Appy has a chance to get to the Cotton Bowl.
This Week’s Playoffs and Bowl Projections
American Athletic
SMU held on to a narrow road win against Houston, so the Mustangs are the current top Group of 5 team in line to play at home in the Cotton Bowl. Memphis is still alive only by a fluke missed chip-shot field goal by Tulsa. Cincinnati and Navy still have shots at that Cotton Bowl bid, while Central Florida is still around with two losses should a bunch of teams lose in November.
East Carolina, Houston, and South Florida still have minute chances to get bowl eligible, but our ratings are calling for all three to miss out. Tulane needs one more win to become bowl eligible, and they must beat Tulsa this weekend, or the Green Wave could miss out. Their final three games are tough.
Expected Bowl Eligible Teams: 7
Atlantic Coast
Clemson should be able to coast home with a 13-0 record and Playoff bid. The Tigers should win their final four regular season games by margins of 20 or more every week. The Coastal Division will probably send a 5-3 team to the ACC Championship Game, and other than North Carolina looking for revenge, we don’t see any of the other contenders making the title game close.
Notre Dame caucuses with the ACC for bowl bids, and with no viable ACC team looking formidable, the Irish will most likely take the next bowl in the ACC pecking order. This week, we are going with a Big Ten team in the Orange Bowl, so for now it looks like the Citrus Bowl for the number two team in this group.
Including Notre Dame, there is a good chance that the ACC will have 12 bowl eligible teams, meaning there will be room for two additional at-large bowl bids. The ACC has secondary agreements with the Birmingham and Gasparilla Bowls. The Birmingham Bowl will most definitely need an at-large team, so ACC #11 will get that bid. The Gasparilla Bowl most likely will not need an at-large team, but that ACC #12 will still receive an at-large bid. With the SEC obviously falling well short this year, that #12 ACC team could end up in Memphis in the Liberty Bowl.
Expected Bowl Eligible Teams: 12 (includes Notre Dame)
Big 12
With Oklahoma losing, for now, we are keeping the Big 12 out of the Playoffs. There is still a 20% chance that either Baylor or Oklahoma run the table to stay in contention at the end. One team will have to sweep the other to pull it off.
TCU’s upset of Texas (wasn’t really an upset) puts the Horned Frogs back into position to become bowl eligible, while Texas Tech’s loss to Kansas knocks the Red Raiders out of contention for now. We’re not ready to put Les Miles and his Jayhawks into contention, but if KU knocks off Kansas State this weekend, then we might be forced to give them some consideration.
Expected Bowl Eligible Teams: 7
Big Ten
Ohio State has an excellent chance to make the Playoffs as the top seed. On the other hand, they might have to get there by beating an undefeated Penn State or Minnesota team, and they have to play at Michigan. Could history from repeat itself from 50 years ago? In 1969, the best ever Ohio State team coming off a really embarrassing blowout of Michigan the year before, went to Ann Arbor to face a two-loss Michigan team. Michigan’s defense did the near-impossible, stopping the greatest Buckeye offense in school history. We can hardly wait.
Indiana’s win at Nebraska virtually guarantees that the Hoosiers will become bowl eligible. Illinois’s win over Purdue puts Lovie Smith’s Illini in strong contention for a bowl bid, while Purdue played itself out of contention.
Michigan State is struggling, but the Spartans should win six or seven games to become bowl eligible, while Nebraska is hoping the return of Adrian Martinez and games with Purdue and Maryland will get the Cornhuskers to 6-6.
Expected Bowl Eligible Teams: 10
Conference USA
This is a down year for CUSA, as no team is in contention for the Group of 5 NY6 Bowl bid. In the East, Marshall is now in control of their destiny thanks to a last-play 53-yard field goal against Western Kentucky. Florida Atlantic and WKU are the other teams still in contention, but all three of these teams will get bowl bids.
In the West, it is looking like there could be a three-way tie between Louisiana Tech, Southern Miss, and UAB. North Texas is suffering a disappointing year, and the Mean Green have been removed from bowl contention by our ratings.
We expect CUSA to have on more bowl eligible team than it has bowl contracts, and that sixth team might be headed to Shreveport, Louisiana in late December.
Expected Bowl Eligible Teams: 6
Independents
(not including Notre Dame, which counts with the ACC)
This has turned into a disappointing season for Army, and we now have the Black Knights finishing under .500. Brigham Young has an automatic bowl bid to Hawaii if the Cougars go 6-6 or better. 6-6 is the most likely record for BYU.
Liberty has not been to a bowl in its short history in FBS football, but the Flames have a secondary agreement with the Cure Bowl should the Cure Bowl need an at-large team. This week, for the first time, we have the Cure Bowl needing an at-large team, so Hugh Freeze might be staying quite warm in Florida in December.
Expected Bowl Eligible Teams: 2
Mid-American
This is a down year in the MAC, but the parity is going to lead to many more bowl eligible teams than the MAC has bowls to place them. The MAC has five guaranteed bowl bids plus secondary agreements with two others. One of those other secondary agreements is the Quick Lane Bowl which will not need an at-large team. The Frisco Bowl always needs an at-large team, since there is only one tie-in, so the MAC can expect a second consecutive bowl bid there. This year, the MAC is likely to see at least one additional team go to a bowl that has no MACtion secondary agreement. Because our ratings this week forecast 79 bowl eligible teams, the odd team out is likely to be a 6-6 MAC team.
Expected Bowl Eligible Teams: 8 (But only 7 will receive bids)
Mountain West
The Mountain West will most likely lose its secondary chance at the Hawaii and Cheez-it Bowls, which means that the league will only have five guaranteed bowl bids. This league will most likely have seven bowl eligible teams, so two members will be headed East and South in December.
Boise State still remains in contention for the Group of 5 NY6 bid to the Cotton Bowl, but the Broncos still have three tough tests remaining. They must beat Utah State and Wyoming and then the West Division representative in the MWC Championship Game. For now, we have Boise winning the championship but not getting the Cotton Bowl bid.
Air Force has a chance to finish 10-2, and the Falcons could be moved out of the MWC’s bowl tie-ins in order to fly east to a more prestigious bowl, maybe replacing the SEC in a Southern bowl game. Air Force can fill up most stadiums with Cadets, and they don’t have problems with airline reservations.
Expected Bowl Eligible Teams: 7
Pac-12
Oregon and Utah still have minor chances to sneak into the Playoffs, but until teams like Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama, LSU, and Penn State start losing games, we will put the league champion in Pasadena.
This week, we remove California from bowl contention and put rival Stanford back in. We also remove Arizona for now, so there will not be extra bowl eligible teams if our scenario plays itself out.
Expected Bowl Eligible Teams: 7
Southeastern
It may be the strongest league in college football, but the SEC is going to be the league that causes multiple bowls to look elsewhere for at-large teams. The Independence and Birmingham Bowls must already be looking at potential at-large teams. The Belk, Liberty, and Music City Bowls might also wish to start looking around for potential at-large teams.
If both Alabama and LSU make the playoffs, and then Florida and Georgia (or Auburn) then receive Sugar and Orange Bowl bids, four teams are already removed before the meat of the bowls look for what’s left.
Because Missouri is ineligible for a bowl, and Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, and South Carolina look to be out of bowl contention, an Ole Miss Egg Bowl win over Mississippi State will likely leave the SEC with just 8 Bowl Eligible teams. Only four teams will remain for the nine SEC spots needed to fulfill the SEC’s bowl contracts.
The Citrus, Outback, Gator, and Texas Bowls are the bowls that the SEC will need to fill. That leaves the Belk, Music City, Liberty, Birmingham, and Independence Bowls without SEC teams.
Expected Bowl Eligible Teams: 8
Sun Belt
Congratulations go out to Georgia State for joining Appy State as teams already eligible for bowls this year. Appy State is hoping for a miracle. If the Mountaineers win at South Carolina and finish the regular season 13-0, there is a chance they could get the Cotton Bowl bid. For now, we see them coming up one game short.
Louisiana is one win away from becoming bowl eligible, while Arkansas State and Georgia Southern have legitimate paths to bowl eligibility, and UL-Monroe has a path, just not as legitimate as the other two.
Expected Bowl Eligible Teams: 5
