Championship Moments
#8
Tommie Frazier NEBRASKA 1996
In the title game against Florida, Frazier broke 7 tackles on his way to a 75 yard TD. Nebraska won the championship in a blowout.
Big Ten sleeper: Illinois
Illinois should have one of the best offensive lines and defensive lines in the Big Ten. There is NFL talent in the trenches. Bret Bielema is a good coach as well so expect this team to perform above expectation and contend for the Big Ten West.
SEC sleeper: Kentucky
The Wildcats are bringing back OC Liam Coen. They are also bringing in some needed offensive line help. Devin Leary might even be an upgrade at QB, and the Cats have a decent 1-2 punch at RB. An improved offense will be accompanied by another solid defense.
Top 10 non conference games
1 N Dame at Georgia

3 Texas A&M at Clemson
4 LSU at Texas
5 Oregon vs Auburn (ARL)
6 Miami vs Florida (ORL)
7 Florida St vs Boise St (JAX)
8 S Carolina vs N Carolina (CHAR)
9 N’Western at Stanford
10 Pitt at Penn St
Kadyn Proctor going from Bama to Iowa and most likely back to Bama when the portal window opens is garbage.
This is not what the transfer portal or even free agency is supposed to be. College football needs contracts.
Here is a question:
Who is the best team in each conference right now?
Here is mine:
ACC- Clemson
AAC- UCF
B12- Oklahoma
B1G- Ohio State
CUSA- Southern Miss
MAC- Western Michigan
MW- Boise State
PAC12- Utah
SEC- Alabama
SBC- Appalachian State

PAC-12 POWER RANKINGS
1 Utah
2 Oregon
3 USC
4 Oregon State
5 Washington
6 UCLA
7 Washington State
8 Arizona
9 Arizona State
10 Cal
11 Colorado
12 Stanford
One of the most intriguing P5 vs G5 games next season will be UTSA at Tennessee on Sept. 23.
The Vols will have a new starting quarterback in Joe Milton. UTSA has an experienced QB who’s coming back for another season in Frank Harris.
Is it just me or are people back to sleeping on Deion Sanders & Colorado after just one average performance?
I think they get in a shootout with Oregon & will keep it close.
Big Ten sleeper: Michigan State
While there are concerns at the QB and WR position, Michigan State should improve in the run game. The Spartans should also have a solid front seven defensively led by Jacoby Windmon. Don't be surprised if MSU pulls an upset this season.

Nebraska WR Omar Manning
• The 6’4” Omar Manning will be a matchup problem for the Illinois secondary. Manning can win one-on-ones, so look for him to have a solid outing against the Illini.

This hook & ladder play sent the game into OT. In OT Boise State ran the famous statue of liberty play to win the game against OU.
Police helicopter(s) are circling above us right now. All I hear is the disturbing sounds of the police radio & the whistling of the helicopter(s). This is definitely the scariest moment of my life. 💚🤍

Jeff Brohm took Louisville to the ACC Championship in year one. He did an incredible job and is continuing the momentum in the transfer portal.

Utah RB TJ Pledger with a nice burst for a first down & more. Then, Western Kentucky QB Bailey Zappe finds Tennessee WR Velus Jones Jr on the sideline.

Players to watch
Colorado CB Cormani McClain

The game of the week is in South Bend as Notre Dame hosts Ohio State in a top 10 matchup.
This will be Kyle McCord's first road game as the starting QB for the Buckeyes. The Fighting Irish look like a complete team with a stud QB in Sam Hartman.

ACC Sleeper Team: NC State
The Wolfpack replace their QB & OC but arguably upgraded at both spots with the additions of Brennan Armstrong & Robert Anae. The defense lost some key pieces but Dave Doeren knows how to coach a defense. Look out for NC St to win 8-9 games this year.
Saturday's Alabama at Texas A&M game is the most intriguing game of Week 6.
Can Bama's offensive line hold up against a solid A&M defensive line? The winner of this game will put themselves in a great position to win the SEC west.
