- Half way through the 2024 college football season heading into week 7, we take a look at a few under the radar teams that could wind up in the college football playoff conversation. Matt Rhule and the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Mike Elko and the Texas A&M Aggies. A legit threat with SMU?

What a time to be a A&M fan, we have it all in our hand but everything could tip and fall over at any point
Dylan did you just say that Mizzou is infinitely better than Texas A&M.... I have you guys down as ball knowers but this take is shaking my confidence
If that’s how it came off that’s not what I meant, I was more saying as bad as mizzou has played up until now they have far more talent and capability I feel like than teams like byu, Washington, Oklahoma, etc. who we left out of the bubble teams
@@dylanpiacelli4279oh no that's not correct either
Mizzou is definitely better than BYU and Washington; we’ll find out about OU
@@andrewmueller9986 fair enough, I definitely might be suffering from some preseason expectation bias but the offense has the capability of being very good I think, much better than most teams outside of the top 10 or so
@@RightSaidFredo that’ll be an interesting game for sure, feels like a budding rivalry which only adds to it. Hawkins’s ability to turn that offense around to an extent will possibly force me to reconsider the ou vs mizzou debate
Why is Texas A&M a "Dark Horse". They are in 1st place, undefeated in the SEC. They have a very winnable schedule going into the Texas game. Even if they lose one more game, they would be 10-2. That should be enough to get into the CFB Playoff. Also, Texas will not go undefeated. They could lose to OU, Georgia, Arkansas, Kentucky or Texas A&M. Vanderbilt is not a cake walk this year either. I think A&M beats Texas this year.
Zero ball knowledge
@@Texasisgoated LOL
Indiana is coming off a bye too... Its not an advantage to Nebraska. Its also an away game. The lack of special teams by Nebraska is going to be detrimental in the remainder of the games this season. They snuck by against Rutgers with all their issues but no team is strong enough to avoid needing special teams for 6 consecutive games.
Exactly. The bye week is moot. Considering Nebraska as dark horse and excluding several other zero or one loss big ten teams is a problem (Indiana, Illinois, Rutgers, etc.). Maybe Washington and Michigan are a stretch based on matchups, but several have a path to 10-2 and Indiana has an outside shot at 11-1. Indiana vs Nebraska is going to be a big game.
@@Dap3k9 agreed. I hadn't bothered looking at the remaining schedule of each Rutgers, Illinois, and Indiana but holy moly we could have a bunch of 10-2 teams as you said. And as you said Indiana should be favored to go 11-1 with their schedule. I'm a Nebraska fan but it's weird to me the media is saying Nebraska is the dark horse when Illinois (has the tie break) and Indiana both look in a better position to go 10-2 or 11-1.
@@HashtagBirdyy I’m on the Indiana side so just happy to be in the conversation. We’ll see how things start to shake up over the next few weeks and if any of these teams can keep winning. USC and Michigan falling makes this all the more interesting. Good luck next week…it’s going to be a crazy homecoming in Bloomington.
@@Dap3k9 looking forward to it. Hoping it's a close good game at least regardless of result. Idk if I could take a blowout.
BYU, Pitt, Indiana
Texas will have multiple losses this season. They are not as good as everyone makes it out to be. And to be honest, I think A&M will beat them in college nation.
I agree. Texas will not beat everyone on their schedule: Georgia, Arkansas, Vandy, Kentucky, and A&M...I believe there's two losses there. One thing everyone is missing about A&M; CBS Sports ranks A&M 4th in BCR (Blue Chip Roster) with 79% of their roster either 4* or 5*; only behind Georgia, Alabama, and Ohio State. That's a lot of talent. Elko > Jimbo.
Did bro rip a fart at 6:50? 😂
Nebraska offense needs to step up on block pass wants they fix that they will be a contender!
maybe smu
SMU is legit
I could see Nebraska as a dark horse if their offense improves. We can’t have our defense carry every game like last season
Exactly, that offense has been atrocious, and I won’t be happy until we play a complete game, which will hopefully be against Indiana this week.
@@ilikecheeseburger42 What makes it so much worse is that the best the offense has looked is against Illinois🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️.
GBR 🌽🏈☠️ 15 🔥💥🏆♥️
All 3 should be in the Playoffs All are having a Great years .I picked A&M vs Nebraska in the first round, looks like its possible.
B1G and SEC are, likely, getting 4 teams in. And I zero in on the reality of the “cannibalising” matter that both conferences will do to each other (and quite frankly will do to eachother year in now, and year out… like, where is Oregon going, Washington will only get better, Michigan is Michigan, ohio is ohio, Nebraska “welcome back” with permanent residency, Bielehma’s a friggin’ good intimidating coach, Iowa the annoyance that they are, USC and their recruiting, etc etc) then I just see those at-large spots, which is still man-made/man-decided, the decision-makers will reflect on that and not leave a 3-loss team from either conference with a top 10 strength of schedule, out of the playoffs. That is, until the ACC and Big 12 catch up with regards to conference strength, compared to the big two.
Big 12, I think for sure, is only getting one team in, the ACC might get two. If Clemson beats Miami in the conference championship game, then two for sure, both Miami and Clemson. If Miami goes undefeated and beats Clemson in the championship game, to be honest the ACC might get only Miami in, it just a matter of how the rest of the field looks like at the end.
But more times than not, the big two will get 4 teams in.
That’s 8 teams, 1 from the Big 12, one from the group of 6 (Boise St this year, looks like), so that’s 10 teams right there, then Miami, and then Notre Dame.
The Notre Dame clause has GOT, TO GO!!!! It’s about effing time already!!!
That's impossible math. If each get's 4 teams, and there's an automatic Group of 5 bid, and Notre Dame get's one spot, that leaves only 2 spots for Big 12 and ACC to share. Your math doesn't work. ACC will likely have 2 teams at a minimum.
Smu has better odds then nebraska
