The big news in college football last week was South Carolina’s shocking upset over #3 Georgia. The loss dropped the Bulldogs all the way to #10 in the AP poll, making it extremely difficult for them to qualify for this year’s playoff. The other big development was LSU moving to the #2 slot in the rankings over Clemson. LSU beat #7 Florida and while Clemson dominated Florida State 45-14, LSU simply has the better overall resume to date. Now let’s see what’s in store for us in college football this week.
There aren’t many matchups this week between top 25 teams, but there is a good one scheduled in Big Ten action between Michigan and Penn State. The winner here will be in the driver’s seat to represent the Big Ten East in the conference championship game, and most likely a great shot at making the Final Four. Most top ranked teams get a matchup they are expected to handle easily.
