Hello, and welcome to week 13 of the NCAA college football season.  There are two weeks left before conference championship weekend, so we’re coming to the end of the road here.  It has been a tremendous season, and this weekend won’t be any different.  This is NCAA College Football, and here is our Table Seven Top 6, six games that should be on your radar no matter what!  

1. (10)Minnesota @ Northwestern- The Golden Gophers head to Illinois to play Northwestern Saturday, at 12 o’clock.  The WIldcats have struggled all season, and things won’t get any easier for them this week.  Expect Minnesota to avenge last week’s heart-breaker loss to Iowa in dramatic fashion.
2. (8)Penn State @ (2)Ohio State- Penn State is on the road this weekend traveling to Columbus, Ohio to play the number two ranked Buckeyes.  This will be an emotional game for both teams with so much at stake as it is late in the season.  Ohio State should get their 11th win when all is said and done, and frankly, I think Penn State is in for a big surprise.  I’ll leave it at that.
3. (6)Oregon @ Arizona State- The 5-5 Sun Devils are 14.5 point underdogs at home, and of course they are.  They’re playing Oregon.  The Ducks are playing good football right now.  Last week they beat Arizona 34-6, and they’ll get another win this week, but Arizona State has a lot of fight left.  Jayden Daniels will rally the troops and make it very difficult for the Oregon.
4. TCU @ Oklahoma- Saturday night at 8 o’clock we’ll get to see the Sooner’s offense in action.  Yes, Oklahoma has the best overall offense in the country, and yes, they’re ranked 9th, and yes, they are 9-1.  I know TCU isn’t having the greatest season, but trust me, they’re not that bad.  Last week they won a close game against Texas Tech, which showed everyone they haven’t given up on themselves.  It’s one step at a time for the Horned Frogs.  Last week’s win put them at .500, and this week they try to get one game above it.  Look out Oklahoma!  Upset Alert is on high!
5. (7)Utah @ Arizona- Arizona is coming back hopeful this week after getting beat down by Oregon 34-6, but the Utah is rolling with a six game winning streak.  Junior linebacker Devin Lloyd has 100 tackles this season, and Arizona will have a difficult time rushing the football with him lurking around the box.
6. (25)SMU @ Navy- Navy is good this season, they’re 7-2 in case you didn’t know, but the question is, are they ready for SMU.  Memphis has a very good team (SMU’s only loss), but I think SMU should be undefeated right now.  SMU is one of the better teams in the country, and if Navy expects to stay in this game against the Mustangs, their defense must show up.
   

   Okay everyone, enjoy the rest of your week, and of course, NCAA College Football Saturday.  Congratulations to the Muhlenberg Mules.  The football team at Muhlenberg College (Division 3) finished their regular season 10-0!  They’re home this weekend, right here in Allentown, Pennsylvania, for their first round playoff game.   

Alright everybody, welcome to week 12 of the college football season.  Don’t forget, it’s week 12, 13, and 14, and then, it’s conference championship weekend (week 15).  This is https://noozbuffet.com, and here is our Table Seven Top 6.

Table Seven Top 6

1. (1)OHIO STATE @ RUTGERS- Well what can I say, I love the Buckeyes, and I’m from New Jersey.  The experts are calling this one a blow out, and maybe so, but it’s still agame of interest for me.  Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 in New Brunswick, New Jersey.  Do you think the Scarlet Knights can slow down Ohio State running back J.K. Dobbins?  He now has 1200 yards on 166 attempts.  That’s 7.2 yards per carry!  Has anyone slowed down J.K. Dobbins?
2. (9)OKLAHOMA @ (12)BAYLOR- Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 pm Saturday night, and the 9-0 Baylor Bears are expected to…?  Lose?  Well, they’re underdogs, but we’ll see.  Oklahoma slipped a little in the Top 25 rankings after losing to Kansas State, their only loss of the season, but they’re still ahead of Baylor.  Go figure.  At home Saturday night, Baylor will have something to prove.
3. (17)MINNESOTA @ (18)IOWA-  After that huge upset win against Penn State last weekend, Minnesota shocked the masses, and continued their win streak to 9 games this season, but Golden Gophers beware.  Iowa is dangerous.  With three losses they’ve pretty much seen their playoff chances fade, but they still have what it takes beat Minnesota looking too far into the future after an emotional win.
4. (6)GEORGIA @ (11)AUBURN- A classic SEC showdown between Georgia and Auburn is scheduled for Saturday afternoon at 3:30.  Georgia is 8-1 and ranked 6th nationally, but they still have a firm grip on first place in the East division.  Auburn (7-2) cannot afford another loss, and with a win this week, we’ll see a forgiving voter panel open up and welcome the Tigers back into the top 10 with open arms.
5. (19)WAKE FOREST @ (5)CLEMSON- With Clemson having a #5 rank and Wake Forest a #19th, it seems like these two teams are worlds apart, but they’re not.  In the ACC Atlantic Division these teams are one and two.  Wake is two games behind Clemson in the conference, but the ball is in Wake’s court this week, meaning they can give the Tigers their first loss by handling their own business.  It will be difficult to win on the road here, but stranger things have happened.
6. INDIANA @ (4)PENN STATE- I can’t believe Penn State is ranked four after losing to Minnesota last week, but I really can’t believe Indiana only has two loses.  Um, how many people knew Indiana was 7-2 overall?  They’re not even ranked, which makes them this week’s best kept secret.  If the Hoosiers pull off an upset this week, they can move right into a second place tie in the Big 10 East.

It’s only week 12, but once again we see the issue with the college football ranking system.  Don’t ask how a one loss Penn State team gets a #4 ranking, while an undefeated Clemson team keeps slipping and sliding to a #5 national ranking.  I do not know.  If there are other games on your radar we did not number, please write in and let us know.  We love the feedback.  Don’t forget to check back this afternoon at 3 o’clock for our Feature Game Analysis.  Check ya later!!!!

 

Hey college football fans, here’s the scoop on how it’s going down for the rest of the 2019 season.  Today is Monday, November 11th, which means week 12 of the NCAA college football season is upon us.

We will continue our coverage (Table Seven Top 6, and the Feature Game Analysis) until week 14.  So, we have three more weeks and then it’s conference championship weekend. 

After week 15, conference championship weekend, we are going to use our special College Football Top 25 Playoff Ranking System, to present our Top 7.  That’s right!  Maybe you forgot, but it’s something we started last season because of all the frustration and confusion heading into Bowl Week.

Basically, we came up with our own way of ranking teams because issues can and will arise come Bowl time.  Usually, it’s a two loss team getting a better ranking than a one loss team or a team that went undefeated that’s the root of it all.

Without revealing our mathematical formula, I will say this; our system ranks first according to record.  So, it doesn’t matter where you end up in the Top 25 rankings, if you’re undefeated you will be at the top of our Top 7 Playoff Ranking System.  Whatever happens next, when for example, if two teams have one loss?  Well, leave that to us, but check in.  Let us know your opinion, and if you agree. 

Alright, I’ll see y’all Thursday morning, November 14th, at 6 o’clock for the Table Seven Top 6.  It’s NCAA college football week 12 coming up!  

We called it.  I live in Pennsylvania, and I know there’s a lot of Penn State fans walking around right now with mouths open, but it happened.  This https://noozbuffet.com, and it’s NCAA College Football Week 11.

Feature Game Follow Up

(5)Penn State at (17)Minnesota

Both teams came into this game undefeated (8-0), and only one left that way.  Minnesota shocked the world of college football this weekend with a 31-28 upset win over the number five ranked Penn State Nittany Lions.

If you read the Feature Game Analysis than you already know we picked Minnesota to win this game straight up and cover the 6.5 point spread.  Minnesota was getting 6.5 so they did both.

Table Seven is now 5-4-1 versus the spread, but I gotta tell you something, I was so happy for Minnesota I forgot all about the spread.  The Golden Gophers are now 9-0 overall, and still in first place in the Big 10 West.  With Ohio State’s win over Maryland, the Buckeyes and Minnesota are the only two teams still undefeated in the Big 10.

Minnesota scored first when Tanner Morgan passed to Rashod Bateman for a 66 yard touchdown.  Penn State answered with a 45 yard touchdown run by Journey Brown.

Then it was Chris Autman-Bell’s turn as he caught a 21 yard touchdown pass from Morgan.  Penn State kicked a field goal, and it was a 14-10 score at the end of the first quarter.

The Golden Gophers remained in the lead for the rest of the game until the final whistle blew.  Penn State lead Minnesota in all offensive stat categories, but they lost the turnover battle (3 turnovers).

Minnesota’s QB Tanner Morgan was sensational (18-20, 339 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions).  That’s almost a perfect game.  WR Rashod Bateman was sensational (7 receptions, 203 yards, and 1 touchdown).  After Penn State scored in the first quarter at almost the 11 minute mark, Minnesota’s defense kept them out of the endzone until the final minutes of the third quarter.  That’s a tremendous defensive effort there.

Alright everyone I hoped you enjoyed this game.  It was fantastic.  We’ll see you all back here Thursday morning, November 14th, at 6 am for the Table Seven Top 6.  It’s NCAA College Football Week 12 coming up.
