Playoff Outlook Week 11

   Last week in college football, it spelled the end for Ole Miss and the end of the Stanford Cardinals for Oregon. Utah fell to Arizona State. Arizona State went up in the rankings to #9.  Here is the top four for week 11, of the 2014 season of college football.


   #4 - Oregon: The Ducks had a impressive win over Stanford last week, beating them 45-16. This week Oregon will face a tough test against 6-2 Utah. This will also be Oregon's fourth away game of this season. If the Ducks win out, I believe that they will grab that final four spot.

   #3 - Auburn: Auburn just scraped by Ole Miss in a win, 34-31. However, they proved that they are a team that should be in that top four. Auburn does have a test against Alabama at the end of the season. I think that if they win that game, as well as the others, they will and should be there.

   #2 - Florida State: Florida State has the easiest schedule in these top four teams, but they have not looked really all that good after almost losing to Louisville. But since there is no one else in the ACC that could really cause FSU any problem, I think they will win out, and go to the playoffs.

   #1 - Mississippi State: Mississippi State won 17-10 against Arkansas on Saturday, and they will face a beat up Ole Miss team at the end of the season. But I have not seen enough to think that Mississippi State will keep that number one ranking for long. I am almost certain that they will fall eventually. They have a great Quarterback in Dak Prescott, but they have not looked like an overall playoff team lately. They would need to get some big wins to switch my views throughout the season.


   So there it is. Week 10 is in the books, and week 11 is prepared to be just as important. Some big games that I did not mention is #5 Alabama vs #16 LSU, and #8 Michigan State vs #14 Ohio State. I'll see you on Friday for a preview of Oregon vs Utah.



- Go Ducks!
