No. 2 Michigan, which started 5-for-5 on first-quarter, third-down conversions, continued rolling up the score against its scandal-riddled, in-state rival.
Third-ranked Ohio State proved – again – No. 7 Penn State could be the nation’s most over-rated program.
No. 11 Alabama, which outscored No. 17 Tennessee, 27-0, in the second half, rallied from a 13-point deficit for the first time since 1998.
Did you see that spot No. 8 Texas received?
