Can There Only Be One with None? No, the Lesser Bowls Could Get One. 10 Games at Noon
Last year Indiana went 16-0. Majestic, triumphant, amazing. Some years there is not an undefeated college champion. Before and since the inception of the College Football Playoff. Occasionally there is a smaller Division I school that goes undefeated bu their record did not merit enough respect or gravitas to command the top bowl contenders at the end. That could happen, but with the current 12 team tournament should not. Weaker, smaller programs that are without blemish in the loss column should get their chance.
Hawai'i is done, despite one magazine's prognostications of the Rainbow Warriors being there at the end. Newly ensconced Stanford ended that pipe dream. And Stanford upended by cross coastal power Miami last night. Teams are going down left and right. (Did I mention Colorado in my BYU opponents travails? Must check.)
Of the final twelve, perhaps one can make it through unscathed like last year's Hoosiers. Could be Ohio State. Oregon. Indiana. Notre Dame. Oklahoma. Who else? What other team can catch fire? Miami? Ole Miss? Texas? Could be six or seven others. Brigham Young? Hello! HELLO! Or Texas Tech, but they are not as good as last year. Michigan or Penn State with surprises? Georgia, or even Alabama rises again? Yech...
Who knows. I may have already named them. I should have. But, will one of the above be undefeated at the end? We shall see.
Lots of small opponents at noon. Bryant verus Army. Maybe half are small timers. Could be an upset somewhere...
