Hey, and welcome to my weekly Faculty Soccer Playoff bracket. I’ll be updating each week based mostly on new outcomes. They’re based mostly solely on my opinions and sure will differ from Austin Mock’s a lot smarter, scientifically based mostly projections. Additionally, make sure you take a look at David Ubben’s Bubble Watch each Monday.
One problem on this new period is to keep away from overreacting to anyone consequence. I really feel I did a fairly good job of that by way of the primary 4 weeks. Then I went wild after Week 5.
Firstly, who’s going to win the Massive 12? I’m dropping religion in Utah because of the continued uncertainty about Cam Rising. The Utes scored 10 factors of their loss to Arizona. However nobody within the convention has regarded good each week. BYU has regarded the very best, however for now, I’m driving with Iowa State.

It’s arduous to see Georgia profitable the SEC the best way its protection performed within the first half towards Alabama. However nor do I anticipate the Bulldogs, who mounted a heck of a comeback, to crumble. The Tide moved up from at-large to convention champ, however Georgia stayed within the area as a projected 10-2 staff.

Lastly, a hearty welcome to Clemson, the staff Georgia throttled within the first sport. The Tigers have been nice since and should nicely win the ACC. For now, I give them an at-large berth.
