Rant- College Football

College Football Right Now         

    College football as of week 6 is insane. Pure insanity. The unpredictability of College Football has always been a factor but as of this week there was an upset bug going around the entire country and it struck hard. 5 top 25 teams lost to unranked opponents and the craziest thing about it is that Alabama, Michigan, Tennessee, and Missouri all lost games that they should've never been in. Alabama was the #1 team in the country and Tennessee was #4. 2 of the top 4 teams in the nation lost to unranked teams which is wild. To add to it not only did Alabama lose to an unranked team they lost to Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt!!! Which is unbelievable. The football world was just as shocked as they were brought to laughter by this. The meme's and jokes have been insane all over social media. But seriously Alabama usually blows out Vanderbilt 59-0 as if they are an FCS team not an SEC team. The top 10 looks awfully different this week with Ohio State and Oregon at #1 and #2, which is just absolutely perfect because they play this week. The craziness of this week has even allowed Notre Dame to keep itself in the top 15 despite their loss to NIU. The Aggies whooped on #9 Missouri which earned them an instant boost to #15 ranked despite being unranked just the week before. Not a surprise is the Flashy Ashton Jeanty for Boise State -whom have found themselves at #17-continues to add to his Heisman stock already surpassing 1,000 yards through just half the season. College football is one exhilarating movie right now and fans around the country are either loving it or hating it. As for me I don't really mind hopefully more fireworks this weekend.

Dallas Playoff Chances

Hypothetically The Cowboys can still make the playoffs after being (3-7).  As of right now The Dallas Cowboys are (5-7) coming off of back to back divisional wins against a strong opponent in The Washington Commanders which was a nail biter and so entertaining and a big Thanksgiving win against the New York Giants. There are currently 5 games left in the regular season and The Cowboys odds of making the playoffs are slim but not impossible. The Cowboys next 3 games are against teams that are currently under .500 in the win category so they can start to turn the train around and get to (8-7). Then they play The Commanders and Eagles once more to finish the season which in a way helps The Cowboys a lot because if they can beat both of them they would beat the 2 teams in their division who are ahead of them. Now Dallas likely won't win the division unless Eagles go (0-5) for the rest of the season and The Commanders go (2-3) meaning they all would finish at (10-7) but this is unlikely...

Sneeze

The 2024 NFL season is already shaping up to be one for the books. With blockbuster trades, unexpected underdog victories, and standout performances across the league, there's no shortage of action to keep fans on their toes. Let’s break down some of the most buzzworthy moments so far this season. Several teams have made headlines for their offensive firepower this year. The Lions have been electric, with their quarterback Jared Goff setting new milestones. On the other side of the ball, defenses like Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Denver, and Buffalo are wreaking havoc, leading the league in sacks and turnovers. Is this the year we see the perfect balance between offense and defense in the playoffs? This season has introduced us to a new crop of stars. Players like Bo Nix have made an immediate impact, while veterans like Jared Goff are reminding us why they’re still at the top of their game. The MVP race is heating up, with Josh Allen and Saquon Barkley leading the pack. Could this be...

Link-History and Records To Be Broken

     Packers Safety Xavier McKinney has had a hot start to the 2024 football season with interceptions in the first 4 games this season. Apparently, he can chase down some old records set by the forgotten Ojay Larson an entire century ago. Pro Football Journal posted a really good   article about this which I'll link right here:  https://nflfootballjournal.blogspot.com/2024/10/a-century-apart-xavier-mckinney-and.html     I was unaware of the success Xavier McKinney has been having to start this season and really it has come from the blind eye that I turned to him. Here's why: after being drafted 36th overall and being in my opinion probably the best young safety at the time; I expected him to come out his rookie season hot playing at a high level. He ended up only playing in 6 games his rookie season having a very average rookie season with 1 interception and 25 tackles. Which is ok considering he was a rookie, he followed up with an amazing sophomore ...
