Best Playoff Teams Offenses and Defenses

This per USA Today college sports articles written by Shayne Kubas yesterday and today...(he started from worst to first)

Best Offenses
1) Oregon..2) Ohio St..3) Notre Dame..4) Penn St..5) Tenn..6) Indiana..7) Boise St..8) Texas..9) SMU..10) Clemson..11) Georgia...12) ASU

Best Defenses 1) Ohio St..2) Texas..3) Penn St..4) Tenn..5) Notre Dame..6) Georgia..7) Indiana..8) Oregon..9) SMU..10) Clemson..11) ASU..12) Boise St

Why Devils are ranked so low in both categories...high-end talent or lack thereof at most positions...that said, we are still a "force to be reckoned with" especially on offense...

Well we were picked last in the Big-12 and look at what happened...;)

Overall, I like where both Clemson and Texas are rated...:cool:

I'm just pleased that our first game is not at Ohio St, Penn St or Notre Dame...

Fingers crossed that we can prove everybody outside of our Sun Devil orbit wrong...

Go Devils!!!

Big 12 3rd place game

Do you like the idea of a 3rd place game?

  • Yes, it helps the Big 12 get a 2nd playoff team and generates interest

    Votes: 8 33.3%
  • No, I prefer the 1 championship game

    Votes: 16 66.7%

The Big 12 should make the championship game a double header Saturday.

Noon kickoff 3rd place game BYU v Colorado
5pm kickoff Championship game ASU v Iowa State

The conference could sell tickets to a single game or the double header session. With Dallas having a capacity of up to 100k there is more than enough room to accommodate 4 fan bases. It would give BYU or Colorado a chance to make the playoff with an additional win and would generate a "March Madness" type atmosphere.

Five takeaways from ASU’s win over St. Mary's

The Sun Devils improved to 7-1 on the season after handing St. Mary’s (7-1) its first loss of the season in a 68-64 victory to win the Acrisure Classic in Palm Springs. This was the fourth non-conference tournament won by head coach Bobby Hurley during his time at ASU and was a game where every bucket was earned and a contest where the Sun Devils proved they could win both high-scoring affairs and defensive battles like the one on Friday night.

Redshirt Watch

With five games in the books and news of plans to redshirt Malik McClain (along with the similar announcement about Cole Martin a few weeks back), figured this is now a relevant topic. Here are the redshirt possibilities (and impossibilities) so far, starting with the high school signees from the 2024 class:

Exceeded four game appearances, unable to redshirt:

P Kanyon Floyd (five games played)
LB Martell Hughes (five)

True freshmen who have played, but have less than or equal to four game appearances:

DB Kyan McDonald (three)
DB Rodney Bimage (two)
RB Jason Brown (one)
DL Albert Smith (one)

True freshmen who haven't yet appeared in a game:

TE Jayden Fortier
TE James Giggey
DB Chris Johnson
DB Plas Johnson
OL Terrell Kim
DL Salesi Manu
DB Tony-Louis Nkuba
WR Zecheriah Sample
OL Semisi Tonga
DL Ramar Williams
