#3 Michigan Blasts #2 Ohio State (45-23) for Big Ten Supremacy; #5 LSU, #8 Clemson & #9 Oregon Get Upset

Four top-10 teams got an ‘L’ dropped on their playoff resume over the holiday break to cause our first episode of true chaos at the top of the College Football Playoff picture. #3 Michigan went into Columbus and handed #2 Ohio State a beatdown (45-23) thanks to a 28-3 second-half runaway. The Wolverines now own the No. 2 spot and control of the Big Ten. Meanwhile, #5 LSU and #8 Clemson suffered losses to unranked opponents, and #9 Oregon blew a 21-point lead to #21 Oregon State out west. Make room for USC in the college football playoff picture, but Ohio State, Alabama, and Tennessee are in the on-deck circle.
