This weekend makes it so we are a quarter way through the college football season, and that means we are fully in conference play for everyone (looks at the Big 10). With that, we double the number of ranked games we get to see from three last week to six this week.
With all of that, draft lists that come out next week are going to start to give a really good look on where this draft stands. Guys like Will Echols have made leaps from really good to great, and others like LaNorris Sellers might only have one more chance to prove their mettle. Trinidad Chambliss is making us all question "What if Joe Burrow was a year older and a little bigger than Kyler Murray" when it comes to trying to figure out how he projects as a prospect. Will KJ Duff be the only reason outside of masochism that anyone watches Rutgers this year? Will Dabo Sweeney ever get his boys going down in the swamp? Is there a chance we will ever see a dumber way to lose than what NC State did last week?
To those of you who are new to this prospect schedule, this is a personally curated collection of matchups between draft eligible players this weekend where there are individual matchups on both sides of the ball. An example is: we know Jadan Baugh is going to really have to compete vs a tough Ole Miss defense and we will learn more from the tape this week than his cake walk against Campbell. So if you say wHy is lEOnaRd MoOre noT iN tHe LIst tHis wEEk?? I'll know you can't read.
Think of this list as a shorthand for what matchups to key in on as you quad-box up on Saturday, or to jump into first once your All-22 provider gets everything uploaded next week.
In addition, this year I will write a little about a matchup I really want to watch this weekend, and then I will write a review of both players once I have time to watch it the following week. You can find those elsewhere on the site (or last week's right here), or you can sign up for the newsletter to see it in your inbox every week!
Enough of my rambling, games!
