It is now week nine of fifteen in the college football season. Games are starting to become more intense and important to see what place everyone will finish. As of right now top five are Michigan, LSU, Notre Dame, Clemson, and in first place Alabama.
Alabama has made it to the championship game for the past three years and won in 2015 and 2017. Lexi Stretch, a student at Hillgrove High School said, “Alabama will probably win again because their team is really good, and they have destroyed every team they have played.” One of the most challenging games for Alabama is being played on November third and it is against LSU. Not only will it be an important game for Alabama, but LSU needs to do well to stay in the top five. Erica Carlton, a freshman at Hillgrove High School, said, “It is probably going to be a very close game and one of the harder games for Alabama and LSU, but I think Alabama will perform well and win.” LSU is one team that not many would have predicted to do so well and are considered one of the underdogs that ended up on top.
Every team could be bumped down far in the ranks just by losing one game. Katie Connelly, a sophomore at Hillgrove High School said, “Honestly any spot is up for grabs because a lot of teams have the same record, so every game from here is going to be the most important because these games will determine what place the end up in.” Erica agreed by saying, “This year a lot of the teams have been playing well and have the same record, so I think almost any team could make it to the final and win.”
The reigning champ, Alabama, has Clemson right behind them, giving them a run for their money with the same record, 8-0. The have some of the best players in the league like Christian Wilkins, Clelin Ferrell, and Dexter Lawrence. Lexi also believes they have a chance because she said, “Clemson has beat them before and are doing very well so, it is even and either team could come out on top.” Week by week these teams get closer to the championship, the pressure is on for them to perform well and who knows who will come out on top this year.
