Rivalry weekend in college football did not disappoint as shocking losses from Ohio State and Miami changed the playoff picture. The Buckeyes’ fourth consecutive loss to Michigan has raised questions about Ryan Day’s future as head coach. Miami, previously ranked sixth, is now on the outside looking in and not in play for a league crown in the ACC.
