Oddly there are no After Dark games this week. Probably due to an overall lack of games, as 37 FBS teams had a bye this week. Still, considering we wind the clocks back tonight, it would seem like an obvious week to have some late-night games.

Was a great weekend for BSU fans. They have a legit, albeit outside, shot at a playoff bye. As it stands right now BYU is probably going to be the only Big 12 team ranked ahead of us.

Obviously the AP rankings will take a back seat now, but I'm curious to see how much, or little, they mirror what we see Tuesday night.

 

I'm very interested to see where the committee ranks Indiana. Their schedule hasn't been tough so far, but they have won every game by at least two touchdowns, and most of them by much more, so they are doing what a top team should do against inferior opponents.

Happy CFP Rankings Day. I can assure everyone that at least in this case all the votes will be counted and the winners announced tonight.

With Ohio State and Texas rolling, Miami is the only Top-25 team struggling at halftime of the early window.

[BSLSteveBirrer]

GT is beating Miami 28-16 with 11 minutes left in the 4th!

[BSLMikeLowe]

Miami may have finally met a deficit they cannot overcome, even with help from the officials. But damn, this play alone sure makes it seem like The U is back. I count 3 personal foul penalties (and I think they only called 2 of them). I mean this play needs its own 30 For 30.

 

[BSLZackKiesel]

That'll do it, down goes #4 Miami!

[BSLMikeLowe]

The #1 team in the ACC right now.....SMU.

[BSLSteveBirrer]

Yippee and not only Miami loses but the nail in the coffin was a fumble by Cam Ward!

[BSLMikeLowe]

Dart throws a pick and appears to suffer an injury on the first possession, that Georgia cashes in for a TD. Not a good start for a Rebel team facing a CFP elimination game.

[BSLMikeLowe]

And then Ole Miss drives straight down the field for a TD with their backup QB. Impressive answer.

[BSLMikeLowe]

Frank Beamer may be long gone, but VA Tech can still play some Beamerball.

[BSLMikeLowe]

Dart is back in for Ole Miss, but he's not moving well and the ankle injury seems to affect his throwing too. Interesting choice to stick with him considering how good Simmons looked on that last drive.
