The Top 4 Most Overrated College Football Teams for the 2018-2019 season.

The Top 4 Most Overrated College Football Teams this Season
Our next few posts will be our Heisman, Playoff, National Champion, Coach of the Year predictions, most overrated/underrated teams for the upcoming College Football season. First the top four most overrated teams in College Football.
4. USC: They just lost their star quarterback to the NFL in Sam Darnold. With the top 15 ranking the voters are suggesting that USC’s freshman quarterback JT Daniels will play at top 15 level out of the gate which is high optimism. They would also need a defense that ranked 66th nationally last season in yards per play at a top 25 level that’s a dramatic improvement. USC on defense also had many other questions such as they were number 68 in total defense, giving up 395.6 yards a game. The defense was also the 60th ranked in scoring defense with 26.1 points allowed per game. They were 56th ranked in rushing defense with 158.6 yards a game and 82nd in passing yards allowed at 237.0 a game. The USC defense needs a lot to overcome with a freshman quarterback in a tough conference. USC could be just looking towards disappointment.
3. Virginia Tech: Virginia Tech is a solid team but a top 25 team may not be the case. Some may even say they can make a playoff run or a big bowl game run which could be an over dramatic reaction to the team. Justin Fuente is a great coach and has put together a real good squad but nonetheless they have a lot of gaps on defense with many seniors and juniors leaving. They have easy schedule so they can still pull of a nice season. Quarterback Josh Jackson will have to improve a lot for them to have the season they dream of.
2. West Virginia: West Virginia has a rare luxury in having a Heisman contender in Will Grier on the squad but to me that might not be enough. They still have many questions on the offensive line and receiving core. If Grier goes down can the offense continue to produce? On paper it doesn’t seem so. The schedule favors them in September and October but once those Big 12 games start rolling around I don’t see them staying around long. Some have them winning the Big 12 that is a stretch I see them being between third and fifth in the Big 12 this season.
1. Texas: People are calling for the Longhorn to finally turn back to true form contending for Big 12 Championships and National Titles in my opinion just not quite yet. They are offense not defense first which is not the Longhorns we know. With that offense first mentality they don’t even have a game changing quarterback yet. People believe they can play in the Big 12 Championship that’s at least 10 wins I don’t see this team doing that in a power conference that is the Big 12.

The Current State of the UFC Heavyweight Division

  The Current State of the UFC Heavyweight Division  We are about a week since UFC 260 when Francis Ngannou shook up the world. At UFC 260 Francis Ngannou showed off some new ability and his generational power to take home the title world baddest man and the UFC Heavyweight Championship away from Stipe Miocic. The headliner at UFC 260 was the greatest UFC Heavyweight of all time Stipe Miocic defending his title for a second time against The Predator Francis Ngannou. Miocic dominated the first fight with constant takedown pursuit against the non existing takedown defense of Ngannou. Some thought the same would happen, others believed Ngannou power was going to pull through on this occasion. No one really knew if Ngannou improved his cardio and grappling since him and the champ last met. Ngannou got another title shot by knocking out all his opponents in less than a minute except for Derrick Lewis. Which was a snooze fest that Lewis pulled out. Nonetheless Ngannou didn’t have to...

Goat Talk’s AFC 2021 Predictions

  Goat Talk’s AFC 2021 Predictions     Finally we the public have made the journey to the time of year we all really have been waiting for. We finally won't have a Sunday without football until February. Yes we will have preseason games starting next Sunday. So that means one thing: it's time for predictions. These are not my final picks however. These are my picks before the preseason starts. My final picks will come out in the week before the Cowboys and defending Super Bowl Champions Buccaneers go head to head to start the season on September 9th. Not that my picks will change drastically or anything more like a safety net. Every year one major player is usually hurt for a significant amount of time or traded somewhere else before the season. We are factoring that in this time around. However the picks will mostly stay the same barring anything drastic happening. We will start first in the AFC today and get to NFC on Friday. For the ones that hate reading we will ...

World Series Preview

World Series Preview Well we have finally made it baseball fans. The day we have all been waiting for; we have gone through regular and postseason. 14 teams have been eliminated from both the AL, and 14 from the NL. That leaves us with just 2 teams left in the fall classic. The Astros and Dodgers will go at it in Game 1 of the World Series tonight in Los Angeles at 8:09 EST. This 7 game series is high anticipated as both teams had different paths to the promise land. The NL representatives Los Angeles Dodgers have been nothing but dominate this postseason; only losing 1 game this postseason. Also a dominant regular season posting a 104-58 record, best in the MLB. After constant speculation over the past few years on how the Dodgers couldn’t get it done; with such great teams. However the bats and pitching have come alive this postseason for manager Dave Roberts Dodgers. Yes we finally get to see Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers play in the World Series. First ti...
