In this week’s episode of Get off my pylonhost Matt Zemek takes us on a fascinating journey through western college football where surprises abound and the stakes are higher than ever, starting with a great performance by Boise State.
Boise State’s big win keeps them in line for a CFP bid
The episode opens with a deep dive into Boise State’s impressive win over UNLV, a game that was billed as the Group of Five clash of the year. Despite the formidable Ashton Jeanty being held in check, Boise State showed its might with a defense-led performance that left fans and analysts in awe. As the Broncos continue their march toward a potential College Football Playoff berth, the question remains: Can they maintain this momentum in the face of stiff competition?
Can the Buffs clinch a Big XII title?
Shifting gears to the Big XII, Zemek highlights the Colorado Buffaloes’ remarkable turnaround in their second year under Deion Sanders. Once considered a long shot, Colorado defied expectations by earning a bowl berth and making a serious bid for the Big 12 title. That transformation is a testament to Sanders’ coaching acumen and the undeniable talent of players like Travis Hunter. As the Buffaloes continue to rise, traditional powerhouses like Utah find themselves in unfamiliar territory, struggling to find their footing in a season of upheaval.
Washington State’s season has been nothing short of a roller coaster, with the Cougars pulling off a miraculous comeback against San Diego State. Now 7-1, Washington State is poised for a strong finish, raising questions about their potential impact on the national stage. Can they use this success for future growth, or will the challenges of conference realignment prove too daunting?
The Ducks continue to lead into the playoffs
The episode also delves into the chaos unfolding in the Big Ten, with Oregon and Indiana emerging as unlikely rivals. With a potential matchup between these two teams for the Big Ten title on the horizon, the college football landscape is more unpredictable than ever. As parity reigns supreme, fans are treated to a season where anything seems possible, mirroring the legendary chaos of 2007.
