Group C

Week 4

Ohio State- 31, Fresno State- 14
Kansas State- 24, Boston College- 22
Memphis- 66, Akron- 24
LSU- 33, Old Dominion- 16

Only 1 really close game in Week 4, as Kansas State hung on to hand BC their first loss. Ohio State didn't pull away from Fresno State like most figured, needing 14 4th quarter points to get the job done. So much for Akron and their close games, Memphis took care of that by having almost 650 yards of total offense. Definitely didn't see that coming. Old Dominion is now having a tough time and will have to get some help to advance.

Week 5

Ohio State- 33, Boston College- 6
Fresno State- 34, Akron- 31
Kansas State- 37, LSU- 20
Memphis- 45, Old Dominion- 20

The big surprise this week is Kansas State handling LSU. The Wildcats scored the final 21 points of the game after going into the 4th quarter down 20-16. Another shocker, based on how this group has gone, is Fresno State beating Akron. 1 of those teams had to get their first win this week, but it wasn't who I thought it would be. Fresno had to come from behind to do it though, getting a go ahead TD with 1:28 left. Ohio State and Memphis roll, and BC hasn't fared well against the big dogs, which doesn't bode well for their chances.

Week 6

Akron- 22, Ohio State- 9
LSU- 23, Boston College- 9
Old Dominion- 23, Fresno State- 9
Kansas State- 20, Memphis- 13

What a crazy, crazy week! Look at that Ohio State score. They lose to Akron, the only team that hadn't won a game yet. And the consistency? 3 of the 4 games this week had either 22-9 or 23-9 scores. Lots of teams put themselves in good position to advance this week, but Kansas State has themselves in the best position.

----------------------------------------------

Standings after 6 weeks, with point differential in parenthesis:

LSU 5-1 (+75)
Ohio State 5-1 (+67)
Kansas State 4-2 (-1)
Memphis 3-3 (+80)
Boston College 3-3 (-33)
Old Dominion 2-4 (-31)
Fresno State 1-5 (-114)
Akron 1-5 (-43)

Week 7 Schedule

LSU vs. Ohio State
Old Dominion vs. Akron
Boston College vs. Memphis
Fresno State vs. Kansas State

The LSU/Ohio State game was going to decide the group title anyways, but with the Buckeyes losing in Week 6, now the game takes extra meaning. While the winner will still win the group title, the loser could fall to 3rd in the group, depending on who loses. We're assuming K-State beats Fresno State. If that happens, they would hope for an Ohio State win, because the Cats own the tiebreaker over LSU, but Ohio State has the tiebreaker over the Cats. Now, if Kansas State somehow loses, then they'll be locked into 3rd no matter who wins the Memphis/BC game, as the Cats have defeated both teams. The winner of the Memphis/BC game would take 4th, the loser would be eliminated. Old Dominion, Akron, and Fresno State are already eliminated.
