G’s Evaluation or What Happened in Week 5?

Hello oh great and wonderful football fans. Today’s Evaluation is delayed because of Ian who pushed the E Washington/Florida game out to today. E Washington just scored a 4th quarter touchdown to tighten the game to 52-10 with 8:35 to go. I’ll finish this post just after that game ends so that the records are up to date. Note: the SMU/UCF game originally rescheduled for today was re-rescheduled to next Wednesday when both teams realized they have an off week next week. This week we saw some stormy games to go with the stormy weather. Georgia (5-0/2) didn’t have a lead against Missouri (2-3/66) until the 4th quarter and held on for a 26-22 win to remain perfect. Not everyone was so lucky. Florida St (4-1/29) lost by 10 to Wake Forest (4-1/15). Minnesota (4-1/27) not only lost to Purdue (3-2/31), they fell into a 6-way tie for first in the Big Ten West at 1-1 in the conference. Speaking of that division, for about an hour and a half following that loss, Northwestern (1-4/76) was in sole possession of first due to a 1-0 conference mark going back to the Ireland game vs Nebraska (2-3/108) – at least until they lost to Penn St (5-0/6) and joined the 1-1 club. There were a total of 5 games between unbeatens with UCLA (5-0/11) beating Washington (4-1/28), Mississippi (5-0/4) taking out Kentucky (4-1/22), Clemson (5-0/7) outlasting NC St (4-1/20), Princeton (3-0/136) knocking out Columbia (2-1/165), and Holy Cross (5-0/116) topping Harvard (2-1/169). That leaves us with 16 FBS unbeatens and 9 FCS perfect squads.

…..

If the playoff began today and used the GCR (as they should, ha), Alabama (1) would take on Mississippi (4) while Georgia (2) would face Michigan (3). Three SEC schools (we’ll dig into that a little more with G’s Explanation coming tomorrow). If the 12-team playoff began today (same caveat), it would look like this:

7Georgia (5-0/2)SEC10Penn St (5-0/6)Big Ten
8Mississippi (5-0/4)SEC9Ohio St (5-0/5)Big Ten

…..

While I was typing all of that E Washington scored again, but the game is over with Florida prevailing 52-17. Here are all the teams from Alabama to San Diego. Have a great week. Watch for G’s Explanation on Monday followed by another week of predictions on G’s Expectation either Tuesday or Wednesday. Thanks, G
