For those of you who haven’t been following College Football
the past two weeks a lot has happened to determine the two teams that will play
in the National Championship. Two weeks
ago, Number 1 seed Alabama lost at home in a close game to Texas A and M led by
Freshman standout quarterback Johnny Manziel 29-24. That game would have made many people believe
that game would cost the Crimson Tide a shot at winning their 15th
National Championship. They knew though
that a loss by two of the top three teams that were ahead of them would put
them right back in the championship picture.
This past week after the Tide rolled Western Carolina 49-0
that very thing happened. The current
top ranked team the Kansas State Wildcats traveled to play the unranked Baylor
Bears. At nearly the same time, the 2nd
rank Oregon Ducks were at home playing against the Stanford Cardinals. At the end of the night the Bears beat
K-State 52-24 and the Ducks went down 17-14 in Overtime. With the top two seeds losing on the same
night for the first time since 2007.
That leaves Notre Dame sitting on top of College Football and Alabama
sitting right behind them with two weeks left.
Notre Dame finishes out the season this Saturday against an
always competitive USC program and with a win they will secure a spot in the title
game in Miami. The Tide has a tougher
test but a great shot nonetheless to meet them there. They play this Saturday in one of the
greatest rivalries in the nation, the Iron Bowl against the Auburn Tigers which
I will talk about in a later post. With
a win they would go to the SEC Championship game against the 3rd
ranked Georgia Bulldogs with the winner, if both clubs are both at one loss, to
head to Miami.
There is a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks of
College Football. Can Notre Dame and
Alabama take care of business? Or will
another team sneak by them and create space for other teams to play on January
7th in Miami? These next two weeks you won’t want to miss. I am very excited to see what happens. This is why I love College Football.
