In a thrilling college football weekend, Ohio State suffered another loss to Michigan, while the ACC saw a major upset with No. 6 Miami falling to Syracuse. This loss opens the door for a three-loss SEC team to potentially make the College Football Playoff. The ACC could be in danger of being a one-bid league if No. 9 SMU is the only team to make it to the field by beating No. 12 Clemson in the upcoming ACC Championship.
Notable performances included No. 1 Oregon completing a perfect regular season, Texas securing a win over Texas A&M with a strong defensive effort, and Georgia narrowly escaping a loss to Georgia Tech with generous officiating calls. Ohio State’s loss to Michigan marked their fourth consecutive defeat, raising concerns about their path to a national championship.
Penn State bounced back from a slow start to defeat Maryland convincingly, while Notre Dame secured a win over USC. Tennessee overcame a rocky start against Vanderbilt to secure a victory, and Alabama managed to defeat Auburn despite losing the turnover battle.
SMU’s victory over Cal positioned them well for the ACC Championship, while Indiana’s dominating win over Purdue showcased their strength. The weekend’s results have shaken up the playoff picture, with exciting matchups and unexpected outcomes keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
