Old School Meets New School
The Ohio State Buckeyes survived their first scare of the season last week but continue on their road to a College Football Playoff berth. The regular season finale against Michigan figures to be the big hurdle, but Ohio State can’t slip up before then....
The North Carolina State Wolfpack came a missed field goal away from knocking off unbeaten Clemson last time out, eventually succumbing in overtime, 24-17. It must re-focus right away, with another conference matchup against a national championship contender in Week 8 when North Carolina State hits the road to take on the Louisville Cardinals....
Off a big win, snapping their four game losing streak and improving to 2-5, the San Jose State Spartans will hope the momentum helps them at least stay in the game during their Week 8 matchup against a highly-favored San Diego State Aztecs team with one of the nation’s best rushers and a defense stacked to dominate the Spartans. The Aztecs are at home with a spread roughly in line with their last win over San Jose State....
This is a relatively new rivalry considering the South Alabama Jaguars football team is still in its infancy. The Battle of the Belt is split two games apiece since the Jaguars’ first head-to-head meeting against the Troy Trojans back in 2012. Troy took the first two games of this series, but South Alabama has won the last two. Can Troy reverse its fortunes and avoid a third straight upset at the hands of the Jaguars here in Week 8?...
Winless in conference. Neither the Fresno State Bulldogs or the Utah State Aggies thought that’s where they would be at this point of the season, but both are sitting at 0-3 in Mountain West play thus far and thoughts of winning conference titles have been replaced by hopes of just finishing with a winning record. In this College Football Week 8 affair, something has to give. One of these teams will finally have a conference win to its name while the other will still be searching....
The Appalachian State Mountaineers are cruising through Sun Belt play at this point. For the second straight week the Mountaineers defeated a conference opponent by double-digits and submitted an absolutely smothering defensive effort. In College Football Week 8 action, the Mountaineers will host the Idaho Vandals, a team that surprisingly holds a winning record more than halfway through the season and just needs two more wins to become bowl eligible....
Bob Davie and the New Mexico Lobos have their ground game churning. For the second straight week, they ran wild on a defense that was supposed to be one of the top run defenses in the country and are looking unstoppable on the ground. In College Football Week 8, the Lobos will face a much easier defensive test than their last two games against Air Force and Boise State when they play host to the Louisiana Monroe Warhawks....
The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers have had a pretty wild start to their season. Western Kentucky has been on the wrong side and the right side of a one-point game and could just as easily be either 3-4 or 6-1 right now instead of 4-3. Their one-point win on the road against Middle Tennessee State last week kept them in contention for a division title, but their opponent in College Football Week 8 is the Old Dominion Monarchs, who are currently sitting at 2-0 in conference....
It’s been a great start to the season for the Navy Midshipmen. Although they lost to the Air Force and likely won’t be able to win the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy, Navy is sitting pretty at 3-0 in the conference and in the driver’s seat for the West Division after stunning Houston two weeks ago. If the Midshipmen want to stay in control of their own destiny though, they will have to defeat the Memphis Tigers when they come to town in Week 8 College Football....
The Utah Utes are nationally ranked and sitting atop the Pac-12 South, but are staring at a Week 8 matchup that will test them. The UCLA Bruins don’t have a sterling record but there is talent within their group, and this one could be a key showdown....
The Colorado Buffaloes haven’t had a winning season since 2005, but look like something much different this year. Colorado has started the season 5-2 and sits in a tie atop the Pac-12 South after blowing out Arizona State last week....
The Washington Huskies have ascended to the top of the Pac-12 and are making a case for their spot in the College Football Playoff. After a pair of back-to-back statement wins over Stanford and Oregon, the Huskies get a reprieve in Week 8 with a matchup against the Oregon State Beavers....
The Alabama Crimson Tide demolished a top-10 team last week in a game against Tennessee, and now turns around to face another one in Week 8. Alabama has looked like the best team in the country throughout the year and will get another step closer to the College Football Playoff with a win....
Two losses in their first four games pushed the LSU Tigers out of the College Football Playoff picture and cost Les Miles his job. The team has since won a pair of games and hopes to keep the turnaround going in a Week 8 matchup with the Ole Miss Rebels....
The Houston Cougars are still hoping to vault back into the College Football Playoff conversation, but know they have to be perfect the rest of the way and win games in style. A loss at Navy severely hurt Houston’s shot at a national title, and its small-conference schedule makes it tough to get back in the conversation....
The Texas Longhorns and Kansas State Wildcats don’t have much chance of getting back into Big 12 contention, so instead their focus should be on securing the most prestigious bowl game possible....
Two of the most explosive offenses in college football will meet up in what should be a highly entertaining showdown in Week 8 of the regular season. The Oklahoma Sooners will aim to remain undefeated in the Big 12 when they hit the road to face off against the Texas Tech Red Raiders....
The West Virginia Mountaineers have been one of the pleasant surprises of the college football season, starting 5-0 and moving up within the top-15 in the national polls. They are suddenly a legitimate College Football Playoff contender if they can keep this up the rest of the way, although it won’t be easy....
After impressive starts, the Virginia Tech Hokies and Miami Hurricanes each took a step back last time out. The ACC Coastal conference is still up for grabs, so this Week 8 matchup between them is pivotal for both sides....
The Boise State Broncos have long been one of the most dominant small-conference teams in the country, and this year is no exception. They are 6-0 on the season with a pair of wins over Pac-12 foes, but will get one of their tougher tests of the season against the BYU Cougars in Week 8....
The South Florida Bulls have used a dominant ground game to roll to an undefeated start in the American Conference. They will aim to keep it going in a tough matchup on the road against the Temple Owls in Week 8....
It’s all falling apart for the Oregon Ducks. Once one of the model programs in the entire country, it has been a tough season in Eugene. Oregon has lost four straight and is winless in three tries in the Pac-12 conference. The Ducks were embarrassed at home by 49 points by Washington last time out and hopes to end the spiral on the road in Week 8 against the California Bears....
You think the SEC West has done a few things right this year? Six of the seven teams in this division are ranked, and now, we're going to see three matchups that are Top 25 battles between these teams. On a week where so many of the top teams in the land are either off or playing against lesser teams, all eyes are going to be on the best conference in America, but don't think for one second that these are the only potentially interesting games across the nation....
We roll into week 7 in the Big 10 Conference with four teams ranked in the Top 10, led by Ohio State at No. 2 and Michigan at No. 4. Despite one loss, Wisconsin is ranked No. 9 and undefeated Nebraska comes in at No. 10. Penn State, Maryland and Iowa are all lurking just outside the Top 25. Wisconsin has a huge opportunity this week when they host the No. 2 ranked Buckeyes in what is the biggest game to date in the Big 10 Conference. Even with home turf, the Badgers are catching 10.5 points and the public are laying the points....
The Ohio State Buckeyes have been one of the most impressive college football teams in the country in 2016, winning their first five games all by 21 points or more. They are on the march to the College Football Playoff, but still have some tough games remaining....
