2023-11-12 07:20:00

The College Football Playoff picture is starting to crystalize and each weekend is delivering crucial results as teams jockey for one of the four spots in the field.

No. 3 Michigan scored a critical win early in the day, stifling No. 10 Penn State in a vital Big Ten matchup. And the Wolverines did it without head coach Jim Harbaugh, who was unable to fight off a suspension handed down by the conference a day prior. No. 8 Alabama delivered the day’s most emphatic result, blasting Kentucky in a SEC West-clinching beatdown in Lexington. Later, No. 5 Washington held on for a 35-28 win over Utah to keep its Pac-12 title and CFP hopes alive.

No. 4 Florida State also kept its CFP dreams afloat by hanging on for a 27-20 win over Miami.

Beyond that, it was an easy day for the rest of the undefeated CFP contenders, with No. 1 Ohio State cruising past Michigan State 38-3 and No. 2 Georgia crushing No. 9 Ole Miss 52-17.

And the top-ranked one-loss team, No. 6 Oregon, also took care of business with a 36-27 win over USC.
