Week 8 CFB

 


            To start things off this week, we go down south to the great state of Tennessee. Here, the Tennessee Volunteers took on the Alabama Crimson Tide in a rivalry game. This matchup is considered one of the best rivalries in college football. This game was back and forth, with turnovers, good defense and decent offense. Tennessee was down 17-14 in the fourth quarter but scored a touchdown to take the lead with five minutes left in the game. They stopped Alabama on their comeback attempt and kicked a field goal to ultimately win 24-17. This matchup never disappoints and we can't wait until we get to see it again.


    

            Next up, we head to Austin, Texas. Texas went into their game against Georgia ranked number one in the country. They hoped to stay undefeated and remain the number one team. Georgia had other plans, though and rolled through them like they weren't even a Division One team. Georgia was up 23-0 at halftime and never let up. They ended up winning the game 30-15 ad ruined Texas' undefeated dreams. 





            Last but not least, we have Oregon vs. Purdue. You may look at this matchup and say, "Oh it's an easy win for Oregon." You would have been right, since Oregon won 35-0, but historically, Purdue has ruined a lot of top five teams' seasons. Oregon did not let this phase them one bit. They dominated in every aspect of the game. Oregon's victory kept them undefeated and earned the number one rank after a lot of top five losses this past weekend. 


            This week in college football was unlike any week we have seen so far. It was filled with rivalries, upsets, and thrilling action. We look forward to week 9, where we have a lot of top 25 matchups.

Unranked Frenzy: Week 6 CFB

Image
                Starting off the madness of week 6, we have Vanderbilt vs. Alabama. Alabama came into week 6 undefeated and the number-one team in the country. They looked to be the clear favorite to go to the National Championship with the help of star Freshman receiver, Ryan Williams, and quarterback, Jalen Milroe. This didn't intimidate Vanderbilt in any way, though, beating them 40-35. Vanderbilt had never beaten an opponent who was ranked No. 1 in the country in program history, so this was extraordinary for them to do.               Next up is Arkansas vs. Tennessee. Tennessee came into this game with high hopes of being ranked No. 1 after this week. This would all change when an unranked Arkansas team held on and beat them 19-14. Tennessee wanted to prove its critics wrong about the assumption that they underperform at least once a year. Unfortunately for them, this will have to wait until next y...

Unlikeliness, Upsets, and Undefeated (Week 11 CFB)

Image
                To start things off in our Week 11 recap, we go to Atlanta where Miami (FL) took on Georgia Tech. Miami looked to remain unbeaten and get double digit wins on the season. Georgia Tech started off hot, scoring a touchdown two minutes into the game, but their lead wouldn't last long as Miami scored a minute later. Georgia Tech ended up taking the lead at halftime 14-10 and never gave it up again. They ended up winning 28-23, pulling off the upset and ruining Miami's perfect season.                Next up, we stick with the state of Georgia with Georgia vs. Ole Miss. This time, the team from Georgia wasn't so lucky. Although they went into the game as a heavy favorite and the number 3 team in the country, they could not hold off Jaxson Dart and Ole Miss. Georgia got off to a hot start, going up 7-0, but quickly gave up the lead and never got it back. Ole Miss ended up winning this matc...

Good Games and Upsets (Week 12)

Image
                To start things off, we go to Madison, WI where No. 1 Oregon took on and unranked Wisconsin team. Oregon took an early lead against the Badgers after kicking two field goals, making the score 6-0 at the end of the first quarter. Wisconsin would make it interesting though, after kicking a field goal and then scoring a touchdown, making the score 10-6 at halftime. In the second half, Wisconsin would kick a field goal, extending their lead 13-6. That's all the scoring the Badgers would do, but the Ducks came back and won the game 16-13, remaining undefeated and the undisputed number one team in the country.                    Next, we head to Provo, Utah where the unranked Kansas Jayhawks took on the undefeated and No. 6, BYU Cougars. Kansas jumped out to an early lead when they scored a touchdown in the first quarter. BYU would come back and kick a field goal and then an una...
