Arizona State: How about those Sun Devils? Head coach Kenny Dillingham has Arizona State sitting in a tiefractureer for the Big 12 conference, but they regulate their own dessmall after beating BYU on Saturday in what was a untamed final minute of action. The hugegest getaway is that with Colorado losing, this sets up a massive final weekfinish in the conference, and Arizona State is one prosper away from carry outing for a title and a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Tennessee: Yes, the Vols beat UTEP on Saturday in what was not much of a football game. But it was what happened around them in the SEC that now has Tennessee in a prime spot for a carry outoff spot. With Ole Miss and Alabama both being disturb on Saturday, a path uncovered for Josh Heupel’s team to clinch a carry outoff berth next weekfinish agetst Vanderbilt. Just when you thought leangs wouldn’t go their way, the Vols are now sitting pretty.
Florida: Since the school came out and shelp head coach Billy Napier is going to stay for next season, the Gators have done someleang they haven’t done since 2003: They beat a ranked opponent as an unranked opponent for the second straight game. The Gators picked off Ole Miss Rebels quarterback Jaxson Dart three times in the prosper, carry outing spoiler and dedwellring a crushing blow to the Rebels’ carry outoff hopes.
Notre Dame: Notre Dame is doing exactly what they are supposed to do, and the stink from their loss to Northern Illinois is gone. They went to a unpartisan field agetst a ranked Army team and ran them out of the produceing. Who understands if they can hang with Oregon, Ohio State and Texas, but they are rightfilledy wilean the top five. Oh, and how chilly was it to see a Jeter back in the Bronx?
Nebraska: Taking down Wisconsin, 44-25, finpartner gave Nebraska its elusive sixth prosper under Matt Rhule. The midseason insertition of impolite coordinator Dana Holgorsen has converted the Cornhuskers’ offense.

Brent Vhelps: It’s been a stubborn couple of weeks for Oklahoma Sooners head coach Brent Vhelps. He uncovered his wife was battling cancer aget as the season seemed to have slipped away. He finpartner got a prosper with a huge disturb over Alabama. The Sooners are 6-5 this season.
Losers
Colorado: Well, Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes blew their opportunity at carry outing for the Big 12 championship. Sure, there are a scant weird scenarios that could get them in, but the loss to Kansas all but verifys that the Colorado run has come to an finish. The only excellent part about the game agetst the Jayhawks was Travis Hunter, who sees to have firmified the Heisman Trophy, in my opinion.
Ole Miss: If the Rebels had won out, they would be all but promised a spot in the College Football Playoffs. With their 24-17 loss to Florida, now they necessitate noleang illogicalinutive of a extraordinary event to produce it. Jaxson Dart hadn’t thrown more than one interception in a game over the last two seasons prior to Saturday, when he threw three interceptions. Two of his interceptions came in the final two minutes of the game, sealing the Rebels’ overweighte.
Rutgers: A timeout that will dwell in infamy cost Rutgers a chance at its first prosper vs. a ranked opponent since 2009. The Scarlet Knights are bowl bound seeless, but it will be a better day the program never gets back.

North Carolina: The Tar Heels were humiliated by Boston College, and even a pair of tardy unbenevolentingless touchdowns didn’t produce it much prettier after droping behind 41-7.
The SEC: Things went sideways for the conference in a untamed way on Saturday. Ole Miss losing to Florida was thought to be the only madness we’d see this past weekfinish, but Alabama determined to unite the party of losing a spot in the College Football Playoff by getting drilled by Oklahoma. Then, Texas A&M was beaten by Auburn in four clearimes, which has caemployd filled-blown disorder in the conference. Georgia clinched a spot in the SEC championship, and the prosperner of Texas vs. Texas A&M will face the Bulldogs in Atlanta. But what happens if the Aggies prosper this weekfinish, then disturb Georgia in Atlanta? We can only envision.
