Party Crashers: 3 college football teams primed to play spoiler
By John Buhler
If you plan on overlooking these three college football teams, you can do so at your own peril.
There are potential spoilers to be had scattered throughout the Power Five in college football.
With the College Football Playoff Selection Committee meeting for the first time this week, we will have a firm understanding of what teams have the best shot at getting into the dance based on their initial positioning. However, there are a few college teams hiding in the tall grass and ready to strike. These are teams nobody wants to see on their schedule as the calendar flips to November.
Fate would have it, all three can win conference championships and maybe make the playoff.
These 3 college football teams are here to crash your party this November
There is a chance where Brian Kelly’s Family is heading to Atlanta in December…
While everybody and their brother expects to see Alabama get back to Atlanta this December, that is easier said than done. Not only do the Crimson Tide still have to play one-loss Ole Miss in Oxford, but they have to play two-loss LSU in Death Valley the week before that. Alabama can win both of those games, but most teams will fall at least once if they were thrust into that situation.
Although this is not a trap game for Alabama, it might actually be the game that decides the SEC West, and not the one in Oxford next weekend. See, the Bayou Bengals handed the Rebels their first loss of the season. LSU has two losses on the season: Home vs. Tennessee and vs. Florida State in New Orleans. In short, LSU could go 7-1 in SEC play and win the SEC West this season.
If Brian Kelly brought his LSU Family to Atlanta in his first year on the job, that would be amazing.
