After rough game, Baylor star receiver determined to lead the rebound

It’s hard to believe there are just two weeks remaining before championship week and so many divisional races are still up in there air.

“We weren’t playing good”, Rudolph said. Make it 12 in a row, and the showdown against Oklahoma is nearly certainly for a spot in the playoff. Elliott has rushed for at least 100 yards in every contest this season. Oklahoma, Florida, MI State, and even North Carolina could win out and make convincing arguments for why they should be included in the playoffs as well.

Prediction: Ohio State by a touchdown. The Buckeyes passing offense ranks eighth in the country allowing 171.6 yards per game and has 10 interceptions this year.

USC controls its own destiny after Utah lost to Arizona last week. Past year Archie Manning didn’t vote.

Going on a set of standard criteria determined by objective reasoning would rid the selection process of “the eye test” which within the language of the expression itself reveals a level of subjectivity that should not be involved in determining who competes for dominion over the college football landscape. Since quarterback Vernon Adams returned from a fractured finger, the OR offense has been performing the way many expected it to at the beginning of the season. In the past four games – all wins – the Ducks are averaging 42.3 points and 538.5 total yards. Adams has posted a 178.6 quarterback rating and has thrown for 12 touchdowns during that span.

“We’re definitely a different team than at the beginning of the season”, Adams said.

Now, while the college football slate is nothing to write home about, why not get your weekend started with a few other sports? He manages a pass offense that averages 417 yards per game.

Those prizes went begging, however – all because OSU, holding all the cards at home, played poorly against a team trying to sort through a messy quarterback situation. Also for better context, after the first quarter, Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield outrushed the entire Baylor team by 2 yards.

The Cowboys improved their rushing game by rotating quarterback J.T. Walsh into the mix along with Mason Rudolph. The Cowboys survived against Iowa State to keep their magical season alive. The Buckeyes are on a 23-game winning streak, and are 30-0 in the regular season in conference games under head coach Urban Meyer, though they did lose to MI State in the 2013 conference title game.

K-State junior defensive back Jesse Mack attempts to tackle Oklahoma University wide receiver Joe Mixon during the football game between OU and K-State on October 17, 2015 in Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Boykin injured his ankle against Kansas. With that said, this is a chance for Oklahoma to really impress the College Football Playoff committee with strong play on both sides of the ball.

The Baylor Bears, in the midst of a tough competitive stretch, fell to the Oklahoma Sooners last Saturday, putting an enormous dent in their vie for a playoff berth. If the Cowboys picked up a top-10 win, it would seem to be impossible to keep them out of the top four next week. It’s worth watching because it’s being played at Fenway Park and that’s freakin’ cool. Both teams have national championship hopes. So Baylor have a chance to exploit OSU in the running game. UCLA has been the opposite. The losses for Iowa State (3-7, 2-5) have been against teams with a combined 60-9 record…. For all the Big 12 contenders, you obviously need your team to win out.

Here’s your exception to the “only the best games are happening at night” rule.

Iowa can clinch the Big Ten West with a victory against Purdue or a Northwestern win at Wisconsin. And if the Spartans get to Indianapolis and win there, well, they suddenly become a lot more viable as a playoff candidate.
