COLLEGE FOOTBALL AFTER 11 WEEKS
NOV. 15, 2022
STOCK UP / STOCK DOWN / BUBBLE BURST / GASSED OUT ~ TEAMS OF THE WEEK
STOCK UP
1). OHIO UNIV. – 5 Straight wins and really now dominating this MAC with wins by 16, 21, 7, 19, and 21 points.
2). TROY – 7 Straight wins and the Defense is now playing lights out – allowed only 9, 17, 6, 14 and 10 points their last 5 games.
3). FRESNO STATE OFFENSE: The Offense now with stud QB Haener back is clicking on all cylinders = 37, 55, 32 and 41 points.
4). UNIV. OF WASHINGTON: After a mid season slump they have won 4 straight and look like the really solid team we saw in first 4 weeks.
STOCK DOWN
1). CALIFORNIA: Now losers of 6 straight and they are out of sync on both sides of the ball and no shot to go Bowling.
2). UNLV: After a solid (3-1) start the wheels have fallen off. The Offense looked a tiny bit better last week but overall this team is playing really bad and are now forced to win the final 2 games to secure a much anticipated Bowl berth. Lucky for them the 2 wins they need are very doable as the face bottom feeders Hawaii and Nevada (neither going to a Bowl game). As a hometown guy here in Vegas I am rooting for them but this team is not close to a team you should place a wager on right now.
3). TEXAS A+M: Well folks its now a hard to fathom 6 straight losses. Losses now to App State and Auburn and South Carolina is simply inexcusable. No Bowl game and I could make a new category that says “STOCK OUT” for this biggest disappointment in all of CFB this season.
BUBBLE BURST
1). ILLINOIS: After being the biggest surprise in CFB with a Defense suffocating opponents they now lost back to back games and worse both were at Home.
2). ARKANSAS: Four weeks ago they bounced back with nice wins over BYU and Auburn. Now though back to back losses to Liberty and LSU and it’s salvage a weak Bowl berth only if they can beat either Ole Miss or Mizzou. This team has fell far from expectations and HC Pittman has truly been abominable with just horrific Coaching moves.
GASSED OUT
1). SYRACUSE: A few weeks ago this team was (6-0). They lost a heartbreaker to Clemson and I placed them the next week in the Bubble Burst section. Now with injuries piling up it’s clear this team has ran out of gas.
