NFL Weekend Preview: Texas Back at No. 1
As we move into October, the excitement around college football intensifies, especially with the approaching Week 7. This week, 12 teams in the FBS remain undefeated, showcasing a thrilling race for perfection. Leading the charge are the Big Ten teams, with four unbeaten squads. Meanwhile, the SEC faced a tougher challenge last week, resulting in the fall of three of its previously undefeated teams.
The spotlight this weekend shines on the Texas Longhorns, who stand tall at 5-0 after their recent victory against Mississippi State, winning 35-13. This marks the first time since 2005 that Texas has had such a strong start. Their schedule is about to get significantly tougher, as they prepare for the legendary Red River Rivalry against Oklahoma this Saturday, followed by a matchup against No. 5 Georgia on October 19.
The Ohio State Buckeyes mirror Texas with their own 5-0 record, having recently defeated Iowa 35-7. The Buckeyes have also not faced a ranked team yet but are looking forward to a potential rivalry with Oregon this weekend. If they succeed, they’ll rest up to prepare for Nebraska and then take on No. 4 Penn State in November.
Alongside Texas and Ohio State, we have teams like the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Miami Hurricanes, both of whom hold impressive records. Penn State, 5-0, meets Southern California this weekend, while Miami also stands at 6-0 as they come off a nail-biting win against California. Miami’s recent games have showcased their resilience, with two wins achieved by narrow margins.
Overall, the next few weeks promise thrilling action as teams jostle for position and aim to remain undefeated. Keep an eye on these teams as the race for college football’s glory heats up!
