Trending Teams after week 3
Trending Up
Kansas
The Jayhawks have back-to-back wins. They even beat a power 5 opponent, it was Rutgers, but still. They even put the hammer down on the Scarlet Knights by putting up 55 points! I’m not saying that this team is going to go crazy and make a bowl game but at the very least they could be competitive in more contests.
NEXT UP: at Baylor
Prediction: Baylor 32 Kansas 20
LSU
I will admit, I didn’t see anyway possible that they would get through both Miami and Auburn. They did thanks to stellar defense. Coach O has surprised me as well. I didn’t see things working out in Baton Rouge but so far so good!
Next Up: La Tech
Prediction: LSU 34 La Tech 13
BYU
How things can drastically change in one year! BYU went into Madison and came out a winner. That doesn’t happen often. While the offense isn’t scoring still, the defense has flipped the switch.
NEXT UP: McNeese State
Prediction: BYU 33-McNeese State 7
Trending Down
Arkansas
I thought North Texas would win but to blow them out? No way. Arkansas is in a lot of trouble now. They won’t be favored in any remaining games except for Tulsa, maybe.
NEXT UP: Auburn
Prediction: Arkansas 17 Auburn 45
UMass
What is going on with Umass’s offense? They aren’t even averaging 20 ppg vs. FBS teams this season. Hard to see things changing at this point. The good news is Charlotte is coming to town. The bad news is Charlotte has shown signs of life this season.
NEXT UP: Charlotte
Prediction: UMass 30 Charlotte 24
USC
The offense has been stale the past two games, a combined 17 points. They need to breakout soon before they get deep in the PAC 12 slate and find themselves out of contention.
NEXT UP: Washington State
Prediction: USC 23 Washington 20
