It's officially rivalry week in college football! Before Jake and William jump into the slate for this weekend, it's all about the College Football Playoffs. Who did the committee rank too high, who was ranked too low, and who was sitting just right in their eyes? Also, Mack Brown is out—who should replace him at North Carolina?
Ohio State handled business against Indiana. The Hoosiers gave the Buckeyes a test early in the game but ultimately could not find consistent offense. Alabama was trampled by Oklahoma, with Jalen Milroe throwing three interceptions. Alabama's playoff hopes are now on life support. Billy Napier and Florida pulled off another upset, pushing Ole Miss out of the playoffs. Florida is hot and could suddenly be in line to win eight games if they beat Florida State and win their bowl game.
Heading into rivalry weekend, we see the renewed matchup of Texas vs. Texas A&M. Can Texas find enough consistency on offense to give the Aggies problems? Ohio State has lost to Michigan for three straight years. The Buckeyes enter as 20 point favorites—what can Michigan do to give themselves a chance? Finally, South Carolina and Clemson will face off for a potential spot in the College Football Playoffs. Who has the edge in this Palmetto Bowl?
