Some of Saturday's biggest matchups feature teams that have been living in their opponents' heads.
One of the dumber fan comments is that their favorite team is living “rent free” in the heads of someone—opponents, the media, whatever. Usually the fans are flattering themselves and inflating the importance of their own team … but every once in a while the comment might be appropriate and accurate.
What has to happen to evict Ohio State from renting James Franklin’s brain: Penn State is second nationally in turnover margin at plus-10, losing the ball just three times via fumbles and throwing no interceptions. Staying on the plus side of that statistic is vital, especially when you look at the recent past in this series. Penn State has a minus-seven turnover margin against Ohio State the past three meetings.
What has to happen to evict Michigan from renting Spartan Nation’s brain: An inspired effort from Michigan State and its fans. They don’t have to win, but they do need to show up and fight—without, you know, actual fighting.. Whose head is being occupied: Alabama’s, believe it or not. After the Crimson Tide had dominated this old rivalry under Nick Saban, the Volunteers finally turned the tables last year in a dramatic game in Knoxville. And the aftermath stuck with ‘Bama.
What has to happen to evict Tennessee from renting Alabama’s brain: A Crimson Tide victory in Bryant-Denny Stadium—followed by a non-field storm—would do the trick.. Whose head is being occupied: Houston’s, by Texas, in perpetuity. Cougars coach Dana Holgorsen said Monday that this is the feedback he’s gotten:"Just beat Texas. Don’t care if you win any of them but you’ve got to win that one. You can go 1-11 and it’s OK if you beat Texas.
Utah rolled up 562 yards and 43 points in a win in Salt Lake City, then hung 533 and 47 more on them in the Pac-12 championship game in Las Vegas. The USC defense doesn’t look much better this time around, though the banged-up Utah offense is worse. Loser is out of the College Football Playoff race, and perhaps out of the Pac-12 championship race as well.
What has to happen to evict Oregon from Washington State’s brain: It’s probably not possible under any circumstance . Wazzu may recite Ahab’s philippic aimed at the white whale: “To the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.” Winning in Eugene and bouncing Oregon out of the playoff race would at least offer some temporary triumph.
