Who’s in ByPatForde’s Playoff field right now? He breaks down each contender as the season hits the midway point
Tennessee leads the nation in yards per game and is second in scoring, a dramatic two-season transformation under coach Josh Heupel. If you’re watching this team and feeling a 2019 LSU comparison coming on, you’re not alone. It may not be fully formed, but think LSU Lite. Hendon Hooker is Joe Burrow, a transfer flourishing in his second season at his new school.
The Wolverines aren’t far behind Georgia in terms of completeness, flexing muscle in several areas. This is an imposing team at the line of scrimmage—as evidenced by what. Michigan is capable of trampling teams with the ground game and terrorizing opposing quarterbacks . If that formula sounds familiar, it is—that’s what carried Michigan to the CFP last year.
Road ahead: Iowa Oct. 22, at Penn State Oct. 29, at Northwestern Nov. 5, Indiana Nov. 12, at Maryland Nov. 19, Michigan Nov. 26.Second flight: Teams that can win their way into the field, but wouldn’t be in it today.: 7–0, 4–0 in the ACC. Good wins: at Wake Forest, North Carolina State, at Florida State. O.K. wins: Georgia Tech, at Boston College. Fluff wins: Furman, Louisiana Tech. You can make a case for putting the Tigers ahead of either Big Ten team above—it’s a close call.
