USC Rejoins Notre Dame & UCLA – Good For Them, I Guess

I’ll admit as a fan that I like that Notre Dame has never gone to the FCS level in order fill out a schedule and hope they never do.  At the same time I’m well aware that it really doesn’t matter when you’re scheduling a good amount of poor programs.

Three teams in college football history have never played an FCS foe.  By this time you’re probably aware that Notre Dame is one while the two Los Angeles schools, UCLA and USC are the other two.

It appeared that USC was going to come off of that list as they had a 2021 game scheduled against UC-Davis but plans have changed and that has been called off because USC announced Thursday they’re replacing UC-Davis with San Jose State and will remain the small group to never play an FCS opponent.

I get it before you even start to get your thoughts and remarks in.  San Jose State is not good.  They’re awful, in fact.  They’ve won an average of three games each of their last four seasons and don’t look like they’ll be turning a corner anytime soon.

I however also know to try and not throw stones while living in a glass house.  Notre Dame is on this list but has played traditional powerhouses like Massachusetts, Miami of Ohio, Bowling Green, New Mexico in recent years.

I’ll admit as a fan that I like that Notre Dame has never gone to the FCS level in order fill out a schedule and hope they never do.  At the same time I’m well aware that it really doesn’t matter when you’re scheduling a good amount of poor programs.

So good for USC, I guess.

Even if it really doesn’t matter.

Watch Ohio State vs. Wisconsin Live Online.

Many were unsure if it would happen, but with a 38-17 win over Minnesota, last weekend, Wisconsin and Ohio State will face-off for the second time this season. However, this time it will be for more than a regular-season win. This time it is for the Big Ten Championship on Saturday in Indianapolis. The Badgers have revenge on their minds after a 38-7 beatdown at the hands of the Buckeyes on Oct. 26. A win by No. 8 Wisconsin over No. 1 Ohio State could change the outcome of the College Football Playoff.

Ohio State vs. Wisconsin

  • Time: 8:00 p.m. ET

Wisconsin has been waiting weeks to get a second chance at facing the Ohio State after a demoralizing loss showed many of the team’s flaws. Head coach Paul Chryst had a lot of positive things to say about the improvement of his team since its loss to the Buckeyes. During his weekly press conference, Chryst said his team is playing at a higher level than the last time the two teams met. That certainly looked to be the case after the Badgers dominated Minnesota.

Whether it’s October or December, the Badgers offense does its best when Heisman hopeful Jonathan Taylor finds success on the ground. Taylor has a chip on his shoulder after being held to a season-low 52 yards rushing in the first matchup. Quarterback Jack Coan will also need to have his best game of the season to make sure that Ohio State isn’t solely focused on the running game. He threw for just 108 yards and one touchdown in the first matchup. On the defensive side, the Buckeyes need to keep an eye on senior linebacker Chris Orr, who had six total tackles and one sack in the first matchup.

Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields, another Heisman hopeful, will be playing in the game despite some pain he is feeling in his strained knee. He aggravated it during a 56-27 thumping of Michigan last weekend. He’ll be wearing a brace on his left leg, which will no doubt limit his running capabilities. Fields threw for 167 yards and two touchdowns in the first game vs. Wisconsin and rushed for 28 yards. The Badgers defense has to prepare for the explosiveness of running back J.K. Dobbins, who has shined in the last two games against Penn State and Michigan and killed the Badgers for 163 yards on 20 carries. Just as big of an impact player on the defensive side of the ball is Chase Young, who tallied four sacks in the first matchup. He’s considered by most observers to be the best defensive player in the country this season.

Watch Georgia vs. LSU Live Online.

This is the matchup everyone has been waiting for. Who would be the two teams to face-off in the SEC Championship game? Everyone had their opinions, but Saturday in Atlanta, Georgia will play LSU for the SEC Championship. The winner is headed to the College Football Playoff. Everything is on the line.

[protected-iframe id=”20715d586b192d00561d25362e89ca44-58289342-150719707″ info=”https://fubo-preview.global.ssl.fastly.net/lp/preview/index-lite.html?params=irad%3D538233%26irmp%3D1205322%26pack%3Dfubotv-basic&page_slug=CBS” style=”max-width: 640px;” width = “100%”]

Georgia vs. LSU

Both teams are well balanced. However, it is obvious where their strengths lie. The Bulldogs (11-1) led the SEC in total defense, scoring defense, rushing defense and pass efficiency defense. However, LSU (12-0) is an entirely different animal, especially with Heisman front-runner Joe Burrow at quarterback. The Tigers lead the SEC in total offense and scoring offense, and Burrow has set the league’s single-season passing yardage record.

After Georgia’s regular-season finale against Georgia Tech, plenty of attention has been on the health of running back D’Andre Swift. He left last Saturday’s game with a left shoulder injury in the third quarter and didn’t return. While Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said after the game that Swift should be fine for the Championship game,  he said on Monday that the team was “hopeful” he’d be able to play. The team’s leading receiver in yardage and touchdowns, George Pickens, will miss the first half of the Championship game after being ejected in the third quarter of last weekend’s matchup for throwing punches.

Now with his focus squarely on Georgia, LSU head coach Ed Orgeron said on Monday that he’s impressed with the Bulldogs on both sides of the ball, especially the offensive and defensive lines that he believes are the best the Tigers have seen all year. Orgeron made it clear he’s aware that Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm has completed less than 50 percent of his passes in the last four games, but isn’t underestimating the quarterback.

The last time LSU was in the Championship game came in 2011 in which it got a 42-11 win over Georgia. The Bulldogs have been in the game the last three seasons and won the Championship in 2017 vs. Auburn.

Florida Atlantic and UAB will square-off in the Conference USA Championship on Saturday at FAU. Both are looking to cement their dominance in the conference. This marks FAU’s second title game appearance over the past three seasons, while UAB is looking to win its second straight Championship.

The Owls defeated North Texas 41-17 in 2017 for their first Conference USA title in program history and haven’t looked back since with head coach Lane Kiffin at the helm. FAU won the C-USA East Division with its 34-17 victory over Southern Miss on Saturday at FAU Stadium. FAU’s defense dominated, recording a season-high five takeaways. Quarterback Chris Robinson also threw for three touchdowns.

UAB finds itself in the title game after winning a three-way tiebreaker with Southern Miss and Louisiana Tech to win the C-USA West Division. In Saturday’s game on the road against North Texas, the Blazers relied heavily on their defense in a 26-21 win. The difference proved to be a 76-yard interception return by TaDarryl Marshall.

Roll Tide. War Eagle. Hearing those chants can only mean one thing. It’s officially the Iron Bowl game between No. 5 Alabama (10-1, 6-1) and No. 15 Auburn (8-3, 4-3). The Tigers will look to play spoiler to the Crimson Tide, who are still trying to make it into the College Football Playoff. They will have to do it on the road after dominating Auburn in a 52-21 win in Tuscaloosa last season.

It’s been an unexpected two weeks for Alabama, especially on offense. After quarterback Tua Tagovailoa sustained a season-ending injury against Mississippi State, it’s been backup QB Mac Jones who’s had to fill the shoes of the once Heisman hopeful. He’ll need to have the best performance of his young collegiate career against what many consider to be the best defensive line in the country. A dominant performance by Alabama against battle-tested Auburn on the road would make a powerful statement to the selection committee, who is unsure of how successful Alabama can be without Tagovailoa. In last week’s game against Western Carolina, Jones went 10-for-12 with 275 yards and three touchdowns. For Jones and the rest of the offense, it’s all about keeping it simple and relying on the players at the skill positions.

Don’t let Auburn’s record fool you. They may have three losses, but they have come against some of the top teams in the country, including No. 2 LSU, No. 4 Georgia and No. 8 Florida. In his weekly press conference, Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn talked about the excitement of this year’s matchup and how last year’s loss will help this year’s team. However, this is the first time true freshman quarterback Bo Nix will get to experience playing in the Iron Bowl. In seven of his last nine games – the losses to Florida and LSU the outliers – he has hit 60 percent or more of his passes. The Tigers dominated Sanford 52-0 in a warmup for this weekend’s game. Nix was a steady 15-for-23 with 150 yards and one touchdown, before being taken out so the backup quarterbacks could get some playing time.

What’s the best rivalry in college football? Many would say Ohio State vs. Michigan. That matchup will take place this weekend in Ann Arbor, with the No. 13 Wolverines trying to break a streak of seven straight wins for the No. 1 Buckeyes. The outcome could change the landscape of the College Football Playoff.

Since a 28-21 loss to Penn State on the road Oct. 19, Michigan’s offense has turned it up. The team is averaging 41.5 points and 422.8 total yards of offense over the past four games. This is the best quarterback Shea Patterson has played during his tenure at Michigan. Over the past two games, he is 41-for-58 for 750 yards, nine touchdowns, and one interception. In a 39-14 win over Indiana, his late interception was his first turnover in 17 quarters.

The Wolverines offense may be playing its best this season, but it hasn’t dealt with a juggernaut that is the Buckeyes defense. It ranks No. 1 in the nation in efficiency and scoring, allowing just 10.5 points per game. Michigan needs to be ready for defensive end Chase Young, who leads the NCAA with 16.5 sacks. He’s leading that category despite missing two games due to an NCAA violation.

Ohio State had a sloppy 28-17 win against Penn State last weekend, which was easily its least impressive victory of the season. However, Ohio State still locked up the Big Ten East and will play in the Big Ten Championship game. The Buckeyes were up 21-0 at the beginning of the third quarter, but three straight turnovers allowed the score to quickly flip to 21-17. While the focus has been on the play of quarterback Justin Fields the entire season, he had three turnovers in the game. Fields finished the game with 188 yards passing and two touchdowns. The most success the Buckeyes found last weekend was in the run game. J.K. Dobbins ran for 157 yards, while Fields ran for 68 yards. Dobbins has 1,446 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns. His backup, Master Teague, has more rushing yards (751) than anyone on Michigan’s roster. Receivers Chris Olave, K.J. Hill, and Binjimen Victor have a combined 23 receiving touchdowns.

The Wolverines defense may not be as highly touted as the Buckeyes, but it still cannot be overlooked. Michigan’s defense has been playing well ever since an early season loss at Wisconsin. It’s currently the nation’s No. 5 defense, but the defensive tackles will have to limit the run and allow the linebackers to make plays.

TCU (5-5, 3-4) beat Texas Tech 33-31 on the road last weekend. Quarterback Max Duggan went 25-for-42 with 323 yards passing and two touchdowns. His favorite target last weekend was Taye Barber, who had 137 yards receiving on eight catches. Eight different receivers had at least one catch. The Horned Frogs didn’t get down on themselves after a crushing 29-23 triple overtime loss to Baylor the week before, which shows the resilience and toughness of the team and head coach Gary Patterson.

The Sooners (9-1, 6-1) showed many of the same qualities after trailing by as much as 28-3 in the second quarter vs. Baylor last weekend. However, a combination of offensive and defensive dominance helped the Sooners score 24 unanswered points. Heisman hopeful Jalen Hurts finished the game with 297 passing yards and four touchdowns, along with 114 rushing yards. What made the comeback all the more impressive is that it was done without Hurts’ go-to wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. It’s not known yet if he’ll suit up on Saturday after missing the Baylor game due to undisclosed reasons. Lamb has 983 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns on the season.

The Sooners crushed their opponents the first five games of the season, winning by an average of 34.4 points per game, but four of their last five games have been decided by a touchdown or less. Hurts leads the nation in yards per completion (16.8) and passing efficiency rating (209.1), is second in total offense (402.2 YPG) and third in completion percentage (73). If the Horned Frogs have any hope of a win, they will have to limit the effectiveness of Hurts.

Purdue (4-6, 3-4) has to win its final two games to qualify for a bowl game. Two years ago in Madison, the Boilermakers forced multiple red zone turnovers and even blocked a punt, but scored just nine points. With injuries at key positions, backup quarterback Aidan O’Connell leads the offense. He went 34-for-50 with 271 yards and two touchdowns vs. Northwestern in a 24-22 win last weekend. The Boilermakers outscored the Wildcats 17-6 in the second half. Wide receiver David Bell, who leads the Big Ten with 65 catches, had 14 catches for 115 yards.

For Wisconsin (8-2, 5-2), it’s all about winning its final two games to make it to the Big Ten Championship game. While the Boilermakers depend on their passing game, it’s all about running the ball for the Badgers. The team is averaging 235.1 rushing yards per game due in large part to Heisman hopeful Jonathan Taylor. His 5,634 rushing yards are the most all-time by an FBS player before their senior season. Wisconsin beat Nebraska 37-21 last weekend after quarterback Jack Coan passed for 162 yards and one touchdown and Taylor ran for 204 yards on 25 carries. Taylor has rushed for 540 yards in two games against Purdue, including a hefty 321 last year.

Amazingly, it’s been seven straight weeks that a team has had a bye before playing Notre Dame. Boston College is no different. Sitting at 5-5 with two games left, the Eagles need one more win to become bowl eligible. Running back AJ Dillon, who has the third-most rushing yards this season with 1,451, has been remarkable. BC was unable to come away with a win against Florida State on Nov. 23, losing 38-31 at home, but Dillon ran for 165 yards. Quarterback Dennis Grosel went 20-for-29 with 227 yards passing and two touchdowns.

Notre Dame (8-2) easily handled Navy last weekend in a 52-20 win. The Fighting Irish were led by quarterback Ian Book, who went 14-for-20 with 284 yards and five touchdowns. Four of those were caught by wide receiver Chase Claypool, who had 117 yards on just seven receptions. While Irish defensive tackle Jayson Ademiola is expected to play after a sprained ankle, Shayne Simon is officially done for the year after suffering what appears to be a torn patella tendon.
