Friday night

#9 Washington @ Stanford
Stanford may not be ranked, but advanced metrics say this is a very good team (e.g., #14 in FPI). Washington has to win out to contend for the playoff. The Huskies have multiple challenges left, but this road game against a solid Stanford team may be their toughest.

Saturday midday

#12 Michigan State @ #13 Ohio State
Huge implications for Big Ten, major bowls, and possibly even the playoff, if there's enough chaos elsewhere.

#1 Georgia @ #10 Auburn
FPI actually (barely) likes Auburn to win this one at home, which would be a huge blow to the SEC push to get two teams into the playoff. By the way, Auburn is on a short list of teams that pretty well control their own destiny into the playoff.

Florida State @ #4 Clemson
FSU is better than their record — #24 according to FPI. Still doesn't seem like they can beat Clemson, but it didn't seem like Syracuse could either...

#20 Iowa @ #8 Wisconsin
Wisconsin finally gets a legit test against a team that destroyed Ohio State and is just a few heartbreaking plays away from being right in the middle of the playoff conversation.

Saturday evening

#2 Alabama @ #16 Mississippi State
Alabama has played one road game against a team in the FPI top 70, and they did not impress (squeaked by FPI #43 Texas A&M). This is their toughest game so far.

#3 Notre Dame @ #7 Miami
Massive playoff implications.

#6 TCU @ #5 Oklahoma
This may be round 1 of 2. If either of these teams sweeps the series, they're a near lock for the playoff.

Please knock off Wisconsin. For the Husky in me.

Nice set up for the weekend. Much like I see it.

hawks start with another pick 6!!!!!! josh jackson is great!

hermes · Post #14 » by **hermes** » Sat Nov 11, 2017 8:48 pm

they are really moving up and down the field in this isu-ok st game

ok state is really gearing up now though, offense is cooking and the defense is stepping up

cyclones driving

badgers drive right down the field but the hawks hold on the stand and force a fg

hopefully we can move the ball on their defense

hermes · Post #17 » by **hermes** » Sat Nov 11, 2017 9:03 pm

bad time not to block for the isu right tackle

hermes · Post #18 » by **hermes** » Sat Nov 11, 2017 9:11 pm

another turnover for wisconsin - iowa needs to capitalize on this

badgers defense is real good
