College Football Midseason Takeaways

We’re roughly halfway through the current college football season, which means it’s time to look at some of the takeaways that we can come away with through the first half.

As always, we’ve seen crazy finishes, huge upsets, outstanding performances, and a lot more, but in this piece, I’m here to breakdown the five biggest stories of the season so far, and how they may impact the rest of the year moving forward.

So without further ado, let’s go ahead and dive in.

Through Week 7, I think it would be foolish to argue that the Tennessee Volunteers may have the best resume in the nation. They have a win on the road over then Top-20 Pitt, a home win over then ranked Florida, a road blowout in Death Valley against a currently ranked LSU team, and now a home victory over Alabama, in what is currently the best win anyone in the country has so far this season.

Pitt no longer looks all that good, and the Vols had to sneak away with that victory, Florida already has three losses, and is quickly fading into irrelevance, LSU is extremely inconsistent, and while the Alabama win was huge, it did come with some questions.
