What if I told you that Iowa — Iowa! — is in the driver's seat for the Big Ten West crown and is very much still alive in the College Football Playoff race?
October 14, 2023 at 9:15 pm PDTWashington linebacker Edefuan Ulofoshio reacts after a missed field goal attempt in the last play of the game from Oregon place kicker Camden Lewis in an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, in Seattle. Washington won 36-33.
The Hawkeyes didn’t make our Top 10, but they’re inching closer! Big Blue finally cracked into our rankings, Alabama is back and the Huskies zipped up the poll after the electric victory over Oregon.Only two teams have forced more turnovers than the Sooners and five teams average more offensive yards per game. They’ve got, arguably, the best win of the season and they’ve got a winning margin of 30 points. Several teams have a legitimate argument for the No.
Now we can all focus on the big game. The Buckeyes didn’t look too far ahead to the showdown against the Nittany Lions, playing more of their suffocating defense and showing signs of improvement on offense. QB Kyle McCord and WR Marvin Harrison Jr. connected six times for 105 yards and a touchdown. Can OSU’s offense move the ball enough against a Penn State defense that has held every opponent to fewer than 16 points?With six minutes left in the game, the Commodores pulled within 10 points.
QB Drake Maye threw four more touchdowns against the Hurricanes and the Tar Heels continue to show that they can roll up points with the best of them. They should be heading into a home game against Duke at 9-0. We are so used to that top-10 Tobacco Road clash being in basketball, but maybe we’ll get the football version soon enough.Oh what fun this week will be in the Lone Star State.
