Week 8 Thoughts: Fairly big week. Stanford recovered from its loss to Utah to beat UCLA and leave Oregon alone as an undefeated in the PAC-12. In the ACC, the big match-up between undefeated Clemson and Florida State resulted in a massive Florida State win. Miami (FL) came back for a win Thursday against North Carolina. Missouri continues to defy expectations and beat Florida. They are now the favorite in the SEC East and are setting their sights higher than that. We saw both the American undefeated go down with Central Florida beating Louisville on Friday and Houston loosing a high scoring game to BYU.
From the winless side, Temple beat Army removing itself from the list. That means the only two remaining winless teams from the same conference are Miami (OH) and Western Michigan and they do not play this year meaning we are done with games between winless teams.
On the 1 loss side, the main lesson was that it was a week of upset in the SEC. South Carolina, LSU, and Texas A&M all suffered their 2nd loss this week and all in games most would have picked them in (or at least I would have).
Week 9 Thoughts: We have no games between undefeated teams this week. We have 2 games where an undefeated is playing a strong 1 loss team with #12 UCLA @ #3 undefeated Oregon and undefeated #10 Texas Tech @ #15 Oklahoma. We also have 1 game between 1 loss teams with #6 Stanford @ #25 Oregon State.
Other big games involving undefeated or 1 loss teams: #24 Nebraska plays @ Minnesota. #9 1 loss Clemson trying to recover this week at Maryland, 1 loss #14 Virginia Tech hosting a 5-2 Duke team, Penn State at #4 Ohio State, # 1 Alabama playing a Tennessee team that has recently scared/beaten South Carolina and Georgia, and #21 South Carolina @ #5 Missouri. If Missouri wins that one, wrap up the division trophy for them.
On the winless side, winless West Michigan plays at 1-6 UMass.
