This week there are seven matchups between teams ranked in the top 25, and they are spread all throughout the day.
With so many high stakes games, we are likely to see a number of different headline grabbers:
Upsets
Blowouts
Star Turns
This is truly Inflection Point Saturday across the nation. The model expects Clemson to fall to 2-2, Deion and Buffaloes to eat some humble pie, and Alabama to rise from the dead.
The PAC-2 Championship game makes one wonder why the ACC doesn’t just invite Oregon St. and Washington St., which would not only alleviate cross country travel, but also improve the conference’s football product.
Is this the year Notre Dame finally beats an elite team not named Clemson? If so, it will be thanks to an ACC-developed quarterback in Sam Hartman.
Finally, in Happy Valley, the model calls for Iowa to kick five field goals in a losing effort.
How fitting.
Be sure to look closely at the preview for Colorado’s game at Oregon. Those numbers look awfully similar to a team that wears Chicago Maroon and Burnt Orange jerseys.
There is really only one difference.
Shedeur Sanders.
Better keep him upright.
