Playoff Bound: Michigan State head to Cotton Bowl
What I mean here is that if Stanford got a Top 4 slot, OR would most likely get the Rose Bowl and pull up every team with them.
The winners will move onto the College Football National Championship game on January 11 in Glendale, Ariz.
Stay tuned to NFL Mocks as we approach the College Football Playoffs and Bowl Games. Sadly, the Re-rank has officially selected the worst team of the 2015 college football season: Central Florida, which went 0-12, takes home the dishonor of being No. 128. Western Kentucky is scoring 44.2 ppg, while Southern Miss checks in at 41.7 ppg.
A pair of ACC schools will continue the two longest current Division I bowl streaks in the nation, as Florida State (34th straight year) and Virginia Tech (23rd straight) confirmed their postseason destinations.
Wait. There’s more than New Year’s Eve’s CFP Semifinals this bowl season. I expect the trend of poor offense for UF to continue in The Georgia Dome because Treon Harris and the Gators are facing one of the nastiest defenses in the country.
The new College Football Playoff rankings have Iowa fifth, Stanford sixth, and Ohio State seventh. Air Force had it rolling including a win over perennial Mountain West power Boise State before losing last weekend to New Mexico. Stanford is (5-2) in their last seven meetings and is favored in the Northern California rematch of these two teams.
Miami (8-4) makes its second Sun Bowl appearance and its 39th bowl appearance overall when it faces Washington State (8-4) on Saturday, Dec. 26 at 2 p.m. (CBS).
The heavy favorite to play the Bruins seems to be Big Ten team, Nebraska. The sophomore broke Barry Sanders’ single-season record of 3,250 yards set in 1988 with Oklahoma State, although McCaffrey took two extra games to do it. Particularly in the SEC and ACC title games.
Meanwhile, Watson had 420 total yards and accounted for five touchdowns for Clemson.
Texas has traditionally dominated Baylor on the football field, but fortunes have changed in Austin and Waco since Art Briles arrived at Baylor and Charlie Strong became the head man on the 40 Acres. You’ll want to watch this game, even if it’s a rematch, because it will probably be pretty good.
