-Originally published 11/16/21- Under Further ReviewThe biggest upset of the weekend happened in Waco Baylor’s defense smothered Oklahoma 27-14 and forced Caleb Williams to the bench after a 10/19 146 yard, 2 Int day in favor of Spencer Rattler who only threw for 36 yards. 260 yds of offense is all the Sooners could managed coming out of the bye week. Ironically, Oklahoma State’s early season loss to Baylor now makes them the front runner to make the playoffs in…

Oregon shook off Washington, Ohio State survived Nebraska, #6 Cincinnati stopped Tulsa on the goal line six times and Michigan smoked Indiana to move up to 3-6. Michigan State lost at Purdue 40-29…

-Originally published 10/26/21- Under Further Review – Week 7#7 Penn State, #8 Oklahoma State, #14 Coastal Carolina, #18 NC State, and #25 Purdue went down in rather unexciting action. The biggest surprise was Penn State’s 20-18 defeat in a record 9OTs. The new OT rule went into effect in the 3rd OT with each team getting one play from the three yard line to make a 2-point conversion. Not to be confused with the previous rule of being forced to attempt…

-Originally published 10/7/21- Last week’s mega slate wasn’t quite as advertised but the night ended with plenty of excitement. Clemson survived Boston College 19-13 after the 2nd fumble in the fourth quarter for Eagles. If not for the bumble #25 Clemson probably would have fallen to 2-3. As it stands they’re 3-2 but still fell out of the top 25. Across the airwaves #24 Wake Forest survived Louisville 37-24 to remain the only unbeaten ACC team, #22 Auburn and QB Bo…
