Georgia Bulldogs
|
... |
| 2 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
48-14 over SMU. Desmond Ridder had 3 pass TDs, 1 rush TD, and 1 receiving TD |
| 3 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
55-0 over Georgia Tech. This was the most complete game they have had all season |
| 4 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
23-0 over Texas Tech. It was the first shutout Oklahoma State has pitched in a while. They face Oklahoma this coming weekend |
| 5 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
Oklahoma beat Iowa State and play Oklahoma State next, possibly two times in a row |
| 6 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
59-18 over Maryland. High expectations going into next week... |
| 7 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
49-0 at the half. Michigan State's secondary couldn't stop the pass at all |
| 8 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
Alabama's offense looked as good as ever, but their defense leaves a lot to be desired. Arkansas were in it until the final seconds |
| 9 |
Houston Cougars
|
Houston came out strong against Memphis and have a strong chance to derail Cincinnati's season and possibly get an NY6 bowl bid |
| 10 |
Baylor Bears
|
Baylor beat Kansas State 20-10 and keep their conference hopes alive. If they beat Texas Tech and Oklahoma State beats Oklahoma, they should be in the conference championship |
| 11 |
BYU Cougars
|
They got the W over Georgia Southern to be 9-2. USC is the last game on their schedule |
| 12 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Not a satisfying final score against Vanderbilt, but still a W |
| 13 |
UTSA Roadrunners
|
Meep. They beat UAB on a game winning drive with three seconds on the clock |
| 14 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
Pittsburgh clinched their division with a 10-point win over Virginia. They play Syracuse before traveling to Charlotte for the ACC Championship |
| 15 |
Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns
|
Liberty was favored in the game, but the Ragin' Cajuns went up 21-0 to start the game and finished it 42-14 |
| 16 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
Wisconsin continued tradition of Nebraska losing by 7 points or less woith a 35-28 final score. If they beat Minnesota next week, they're in the Big 10 championship |
| 17 |
Utah Utes
|
38-7 over Oregon? Wow |
| 18 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
TAMU had their November SEC cupcake game against Prairie View. LSU is last on their regular season schedule |
| 19 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
33-23 over Illinois. They have to beat Nebraska next weekend and have Wisconsin lose to be in the conference championship |
| 20 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Oregon didn't just lose to Oregon, they were never really in the game. 38-7 ending. They likely replay each other in the Pac 12 championship unless Oregon loses next week |
| 21 |
Appalachian State Mountaineers
|
App State won 45-7 over Troy to clinch their division. The Sunbelt Championship will be a rematch at Louisiana |
| 22 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Clemson are back among the ranked after beating #13 Wake Forest 48-27. They keep their long home winning streak alive. |
| 23 |
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
|
Wake Forest played at Clemson and laid an egg. They need to beat Boston College next weekend to get to the ACC Championship against Pitt |
| 24 |
Michigan State Spartans
|
Michigan State's last ranked pass defense couldn't keep up against Ohio State's elite offense. 49-0 at the half... ouch. They can still have a 10 win regular season if they beat Penn State this weekend |
| 25 |
San Diego State Aztecs
|
SDSU struggled against UNLV. Not a great look, but a win is a win! |
