This
week’s record: 4-2; for the season: 78-27.
The
final College Football Playoff rankings are out today:
These teams are in, in this order:
Clemson, Bama, Mich. State and OU.
On New Year’s Eve,
Clemson plays OU; Bama plays Michigan State
The Yogi Berra “It ain’t over until it’s over
Award” goes to…Michigan State. Sparty prevailed over
Iowa 16-13 in the Big Ten Championship.
Michigan State did it with another gutsy, end-of-the-game finish with a
22-play, 82-yard brutally grinding running drive that ate up just more than
nine minutes. Bama has its work cut out
for it when it faces Sparty on New Year’s Eve.
This is a never-say-die team as there is in CFB.
·
Alabama running back Derrick Henry ran 44 times for 189 and a TD in the SEC
Championship game. The junior passed
former Georgia superback Hershel Walker for the SEC single season rushing
record.
·
Clemson QB Deshaun Watson passed for three TDs and ran for two more,
piling up 420 yards of offense, as Clemson upheld its claim to #1 and won the
ACC title by whipping North Carolina 45-37 in Charlotte.
·
Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey accumulated 461 yards, running, catching,
returning and passing. He scored a
running TD, caught a pass for a TD and threw for a TD in the PAC 12
Championship game as the Cardinal beat USC 41-22. McCaffrey’s performance gave him 3,496 all-purpose
yards for the season and vaulted him past the great Barry Sanders for the all-purpose,
single season record set by the great Barry Sanders in 1988.
The 81st Heisman Trophy will be
presented to the outstanding college football player of the season by the
Heisman Trophy Trust this coming Saturday night at the Best Buy Theater in New
York City.
Looking
ahead to next weekend: It’s
the annual Army-Navy game, plus the FCS, Div. II and III continue their
playoffs.
