CFMinded Notes:
North Carolina State, Washington, South Florida have very weak strength of schedules
and have not beaten a top 35 team. Why are they ranked in the top 25?
Iowa defeated Ohio State (top 10) and Iowa State (top 25).
Iowa State defeated Oklahoma (top 5) and TCU (top 10).
Northwestern defeated Michigan State (top 25) and Iowa (top 35).
San Diego State defeated Stanford (top 25) and Arizona State.
Oklahoma has a tougher strength of schedule, defeated one top 5 and two top 15 teams.
Alabama and Miami have weak strength of schedules. Alabama have only beaten LSU and Mississippi State,
neither ranked in the top 15. Miami only beat Notre Dame (top 5) and Virginia Tech (top 35).

CFMinded College Football Championship Race 09-10-17

Six teams leaped ahead of the pack in the race for the college football championship: Alabama, Oklahoma, USC, Clemson, Michigan and Georgia. All have smooth sailing through mid-season, except Clemson has to go to Louisville next week.

Four leading contenders have fallen behind: Ohio State, Florida State, Auburn and Stanford. Florida State is probably done with the lost of their quarterback and a very tough schedule. The other three teams can get back in the race, since they have high ranked opponents ahead.

Boley, Oklahoma rodeos were a special treat in my youth. The announcement that never got old was, “Here is a bull that’s never been rode, and here is a cowboy that never been throwed.” Such is the Alabama – Florida State college football match up September 2, 2017.

Alabama is 5-0 in big game one match ups, and Florida State is 8-0 in big game one match ups.
