Week 6 is upcoming - the halfway point of the season already.
This week has one big caste matchup with CFB Playoff implications - #4 Penn St vs #3 Iowa Saturday at 3:30 PM. Iowa feels like a more complete team - Clifford is the better QB but I think Defense, Special Teams, Run game/balanced offense all go in favor of the Hawkeyes. Many of us tuned in to see Iowa eviscerate the Terps last week. The Iowa defense is just as good as the UGA defense.
Group of 5 Coastal Carolina has the Thursday night game - they are 15th in the nation currently and certainly can play a role in the playoff conversation. It sounds like QB Grayson McCall will be healthy enough to start. He is probably the most efficient QB in the country - 69/86 1113 tds 10 TD/1 INT.
Friday Night Stanford plays Arizona State. Coming off the upset of #3 Oregon I think Stanford has a chance to beat the Sun Devils. Tanner McKee is an ascending QB.
Oklahoma - Texas play Saturday - ideally the Longhorns score more points than the Sooners and bump Oklahoma out of playoff contention. I am sure this will be a defense optional game.
Maryland - Ohio State - I won't make the same mistake I did with Rutgers vs OSU last week. I always root for the upset but it's unlikely here.
Michigan St vs Rutgers - The Spartans can jump into the top 10 with a win Saturday. Payton Thorne has been another pleasant come out of nowhere surprise. They are another team with a very good defense and honestly the Spartans RB Kenneth Walker should be the Heisman frontrunner right now. Not anyone of the plug and play black quarterbacks who get inserted into an offensive system and put up the same stats their predecessors did.
Arkansas vs Ole Miss - Corral needs to come out firing vs the Razorbacks after the disappointing defeat last week to Alabama. Arkansas has a black quarterback problem.
Georgia vs Auburn - Will JT Daniels be healthy enough this week to play? With 7 games left he needs to get on the field and perform well. Daniels injuries this year have been frustrating as he certainly has the talent to be a an early 1st round pick. Bo Nix was a hero last week, hopefully he is able to put some points up against the UGA defense.
Michigan vs Nebraska - Rooting for the Wolverines in this one. Martinez is the poster boy for the caste system as it applies to the QB position. I think the Michigan defense will harass him all game.
