College Football Playoff Projections 2018: Field narrows after Week 8
Alabama Still On Top
Week after week, the Alabama Crimson Tide completely dominate their opponent. This week was no different. Once again, Alabama’s first quarter scoring would be good enough to beat their opponent. Alabama scored 28 points in the first quarter alone, white Tennessee scored only 21 points the entire game.
Tua Tagovailoa threw his 25th pass of the season and has yet to throw an interception. Furthermore, Tagovailoa continues to get pulled out of the game early, so his unreal statistics are really only through three-quarters of each game. Jalen Hurts saw some playing time as usual, and completed two of his three passes. But the pass that he did not complete resulted in an interception.
Alabama has a bye week next week, which conveniently comes right before their first real test of the season. In two weeks, the Crimson Tide will travel to LSU. However, for now they remain at the top of college football.
