Faculty soccer’s Rivalry Week definitely delivered. Nice video games and potential College Football Playoff chaos.
Whereas the No. 1 Oregon Ducks cruised past the Washington Huskies, others within the prime 10 weren’t so fortunate. The No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes have been stunned by the unranked Michigan Wolverines. It was OSU’s fourth consecutive loss to Michigan. This one price the Buckeyes a visit to the Massive Ten title sport and a first-round bye. As a substitute, the Penn State Nittany Lions will face Oregon for the Massive Ten title and, doubtlessly, the highest total seed within the CFP.
The Miami Hurricanes, ranked No. 6 final week, blew a 21-point lead to the Syracuse Orange and misplaced an opportunity to play for the ACC championship. As a substitute, the Clemson Tigers will meet the SMU Mustangs in Charlotte. The loss might price the ACC a number of bids to the CFP and open the door to extra two- or three-loss groups from the SEC or Massive Ten.
