Can Arizona State Pull Off the "Greatest Upset in College Football History"?
The college football playoffs are heating up, and a surprising contender has emerged: the Arizona State Sun Devils. Led by running back Cam Skattebo who’s churning out yardage at a phenomenal rate, ASU has surged through their schedule, winning six straight games.
Their dominance culminated in a convincing 45-19 victory in the Big 12 Championship Game against Iowa State, but their journey to a potential national championship won’t be easy.
The Sun Devils are facing long odds, currently sitting at +6000 to win it all. ESPN expert Eric Cohen believes Arizona State has an uphill battle, predicting a tough showdown against No. 6 Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl if they get past either No. 12 Clemson or No. 5 Texas in the Peach Bowl.
The Sun Devils are playing with heart, but can they overcome these hurdles?
Despite the +6000 odds that make them a major underdog, the Sun Devils have proven time and time again they are a force to be reckoned with. However, facing powerhouses like Clemson and Penn State, both boasting impressive records and seasoned players, will be a monumental challenge.
