Top-5 Stay In Tact, but #6 Oregon Tumbles Out of Playoff Picture
Another weekend in the college football saga saw the nation’s top three teams remain unscathed as Georgia, Ohio State, and Michigan all won by 20-plus. Newly anointed No. 4 TCU survived a major test against No. 18 Texas (17-10). No. 6 Oregon still had playoff hopes, but those evaporated with a loss to #25 Washington (37-34), and the Ducks fell out of the top 10. The playoff picture is getting clearer, and a major matchup between the Big Ten giants is on the horizon.
