After a 4-7-1 start to the season,and following a 20-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals this afternoon,Mike McCarthy was fired by the Green Bay Packers.Offensive Coordinator Joe Philobin will step in as an interim coach.My opinion:this was the right move for Green Bay so they can get a contender in Green Bay while Aaron Rodgers is still playing.
Orange Bowl (Miami,FL)
1.Alabama 35
4.Oklahoma 31
This is the first REAL defense Heisman front runner and Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray has seen.We will see how Kyler Murray will do against an SEC defense,but with Tua at full strength,Alabama isn’t losing.
Cotton Bowl (Arlington,TX)
2.Clemson 34
3.Notre Dame 30
Notre Dame should take an early lead but seniors on the defensive side for Clemson will lead Clemson to a four point win.
The top four teams are going to be announced at around Noon ET so here are my final predictions.
CFP
1.Alabama
4.Oklahoma
2.Clemson
3.Notre Dame
I would pick Georgia to be in the fourth spot because they do deserve another shot versus Alabama but Texas deserves a shot in the Sugar Bowl,too.
Rose Bowl:Washington (Pac-12 First Bid) vs. Ohio State (Big 10 First Bid)
Sugar Bowl:Texas (Big 12 First Bid) vs. Georgia (SEC First Bid)
Fiesta Bowl:Washington State (Pac-12 First Bid) vs. Michigan (Big 10 Second Bid)
Peach Bowl:UCF (American First Bid) vs. Florida (SEC Second Bid)
Definitley In
Alabama
Clemson
Notre Dame
Wondering (Good Shot)
Oklahoma-After avenging a regular season loss to Texas,Oklahoma should be the team in because of winning their conference championship.
Ohio State-Northwestern kept it close until the final ten minutes of the game,and their resume is not as good as Oklahoma’s.
Georgia-Georgia should’ve beat Alabama and in my opinion,after Oklahoma,they have the best chance to land the number four spot.
Wondering (Maybe not so good of a chance)
Central Florida-UCF came back in the American Championship to get twenty-five wins in a row but it won’t be enough.
Michigan-Since Clemson,Oklahoma,and Ohio State all didn’t lose they won’t be getting in the CFP after an 11-1 season.
Oklahoma defeated Texas 39-27 to win the 2018-19 Big 12 Championship.The Sooners will get into the playoff if Georgia loses the SEC Championship to Alabama.If Alabama loses,Oklahoma should get in over them just because they are a power five conference champion.
I know this is just an easy fix,but please do this college football,I don’t want to see blow outs all day today (Saturday).
1.Scratch divisions or equal them out.For example the Big 10 East is so much better than the West and how much better the SEC West is so much better than the East.So here’s your example:(Whichever number they are is there rival)
SEC
Blue
1.Alabama
2.Mississippi State
3.Tennessee
4.Florida
5.Missouri
6.Arkansas
7.Kentucky
Yellow
1.Auburn
2.Ole Miss
3.Vanderbilt
4.Georgia
5.Texas A&M
6.LSU
7.South Carolina
2.As that as an example,even if you do even out the divisions,I think the top two teams from each conference (based off of conference record and then overall record) and send them to the conference champinship instead of having a great team from one division play another team from a weak division (ex. Ohio State,Northwestern;Clemson,Pitt)
So here’s how the conference championships would look like with this format
AAC:Temple vs. Central Florida
ACC:Syracuse vs. Clemson
Big 12:Texas vs. Oklahoma
Big 10:Michigan vs. Ohio State
Pac-12:Washington State vs. Washington State
SEC:Georgia vs. Alabama
Remember,these are my predictions
CFP
1.Alabama
4.Oklahoma
2.Clemson
3.Notre Dame
New Year’s Six
Rose Bowl:Washington (Pac-12 First Bid) vs. Ohio State (Big 10 First Bid)
Sugar Bowl:Texas (Big 12 First Bid) vs. Georgia (SEC First Bid)
Fiesta Bowl:Washington State (Pac-12 First Bid) vs. Michigan (Big 10 Second Bid)
Peach Bowl:UCF (American First Bid) vs. Florida (SEC Second Bid)
American-Memphis vs. UCF
With the loss of QB McKenzie Milton to injury,UCF may struggle early but I don’t see them having much trouble.Predicted score:UCF 31,Memphis 21
ACC-Pittsburgh vs. Clemson
Let’s face the reality.Clemson with their offensive weapons and talented defensive front,will dominate Pat Narduzzi and the Panthers.Predicted Score:Clemson 38,Pitt 17
Big 12-Oklahoma vs. Texas
Texas beat Oklahoma in the regular season,barely,and when Oklahoma can’t stop Texas’ offense and Kyler Murray and the Oklahoma’s offense try to make a comeback,the Texas defense will make a play,sealing the Big 12.Predicted Score:Texas 35,Oklahoma 24
Big 10-Northwestern vs. Ohio State
This game should be a shootout,and at the end Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins will lead a game winning drive,making OSU’s playoff case even more interesting.Predicted Score:Ohio State 49,Northwestern 42
Pac-12-Washington vs. Utah
As Washington defeated the Pac-12’s last hope for the playoff,Washington State,they earned their spot in the Pac-12 championship versus Utah.With seniors Jake Browning and Myles Gaskin,I believe Washington will sneak away with a field goal win.Predicted Score:Washington 20,Utah 17
SEC-Georgia vs. Alabama
Georgia should be ‘Bama’s biggest test and they will be until Tua will score a few touchdowns in a row and the Tide will get a few stops,Alabama should get it done.Predicted Score:Alabama 49,Georgia 35
Hello guys, and welcome to another unofficial series on the blog. If I continue to do this on a daily basis this will become the NBA previews series but today I want to take a look at the Denver Nuggets headed into the 2018-19 NBA season and if they can turn Isaiah Thomas’ career around.
With Paul Millsap being the best defender on this team but aging, Gary Harris at the shooting guard and Nikola Jokic at center are the second and third best defenders on the team but are still below average in that area.Jamal Murray, Will Barton, Isaiah Thomas, and the rest of the Mile High crew are way below average defenders. This team may be the best offensive team in the whole NBA but the worst defensive team. Isaiah Thomas probably won’t start but at least Denver has a good backup point guard.They are likely to start Jamal Murray at the point guard,Gary Harris at shooting guard,Will Barton at the small forward, Paul Millsap at power forward, and Nikola Jokic at center. Obviously, at this point Jokic is best player on this team and his advanced stats are just absolutely crazy.Jokic is a triple double threat every game but that is not all-star caliber play in the loaded western conference. Paul Millsap is still a good scorer and a good defender as I mentioned previously but is getting up there in age.It should be obvious that Isaiah Thomas should get at least twenty-five minutes per game and then play more if he’s playing well. Isaiah is a guy who should average around fifteen points and seven assists and get at least ten million dollars a year in the summer of 2019 .Jamal Murray,Gary Harris, and Will Barton are guys who should be consistent on the outside for Denver. If Denver can lift Isaiah’s career back up to where it was in 2016-17, there’s no reason why the King of the 4th quarter will be back.
