MREAST Takes A Look At NCAAF Title Chasers
Here we are barely midway through October, and the list of unbeaten teams in NCAAF has shrunk to 9, and with Cincinnati visiting S. Florida this week, there will be at least one more missing from the list come next week, and several teams don’t have easy games, so I will not be surprised if the list grows even shorter.
Let’s take a look at this week’s games featuring the unbeatens.

KANSAS (5-0) @ COLORADO (1-4)
This might be one of the easier matchups on the board, and despite their struggles vs a pesky Cyclone team at home, the Jayhawks should have no trouble getting past this one.UPSET POTENTIAL: MINIMAL
S. CAROLINA (5-1) @ ALABAMA (6-0)
Many had the Tide falling at Ole Miss on Saturday, but they showed why they are unbeaten. DEFENSE! They held the Reb’s to 3 points in an impressive display of defense. S. Carolina is not an easy out, but I think the Tide comes away with a hard fought win, but life is never easy on the SEC road. UPSET POTENTIAL: SMALL
TEXAS (5-0) vs OKLAHOMA (3-2)
Both these teams were supposed to come in here unbeaten, but an injury to Sam Bradford, and an Oklahoma offense that isn’t putting up 60 a game like they did a year ago, has already knocked the Sooners out of the BCS Championship with 2 losses. That doesn’t mean this game will be easy for Texas, as this is a huge rivalry, and the Sooners are playing with revenge here, and are a dangerous team, and would like nothing more than to knock the Horns from the ranks of the unbeaten. UPSET POTENTIAL: MEDIUM
COLORADO ST. (3-3) @ TCU (5-0)
Surprised at how much success the Falcons had running the ball on the Frogs, but in the end it wasn’t enough, and the Rams aren’t going to run on them. Should be an easy one at home for the Horned Frogs, who keep their BCS Buster hopes alive and well. UPSET POTENTIAL: ALMOST 0
ARKANSAS (3-2) @ FLORIDA (5-0)
The Gators showed just how good they can be defensively as they won at LSU, not with an explosive offense, but with an intimidating defense. The Bayou Bengals could do nothing. Arkansas has a high octane offense, but we saw what the Tide defense did to it, holding them to 7 points. Unless the Gators fall asleep here, after a big emotional win, they should have nothing to worry about, and remain the odds on favorite to reach the Title game. UPSET POTENTIAL: VERY SMALL
IOWA (6-0) @ WISCONSIN (5-1)
Whenever you think the Badgers are finally good they disappoint, when you think they might be down, they surprise. Well, surprise the Badgers are 5-1, and lost big at Ohio St, while the Hawkeyes remain the only Big-10team without one on the rightside. This could be a tricky game, but the Hawkeyes can defend, and that always proves to be an asset on the road. Not going to be easy. UPSET POTENTIAL: MEDIUM+
BOISE ST. (5-0) @ TULSA (4-1)
The Broncos seem to get it done every year. They passed a major test at home vs Oregon, and this will be their biggest road test of the year so far. Golden Hurricane can get very offensive, but must note 15 sacks already, and the Broncos could be spending a lot of time in the backfield. UPSET POTENTIAL: SMALL+
GAME OF THE WEEK:
CINCINNATI (5-0) @ S. FLORIDA (5-0)
Cincinnati was supposed to be here, but the Bulls, especially after do everything QB Matt Grothe went down, weren’t. They went into Florida St. with a Freshman QB, and put a beating on the Noles, and with a win here vs the bearcats, will be getting noticed nationally. Never an easy venue in Florida, and this one could go either way, and under the lights one certainly worth watching.
That’s it from here and if your looking for some help in NCAAF, I was 89-63 a year ago, and 31-15 so far this season, if not may I wish you continued success in taking down the man this football season, until next week….May the hook be with you!
