College football game day thread

With a couple more upsets like the Texas/Texas A&M game, “Rivalry Week”, the final meetings of the regular season college football could devolve into complete chaos. One of the top four projected seeds (TexA&M) has already lost and Georgia’s offense really struggled against a mediocre Georgia Tech defense. Others are drooling over a Top 4 bid, Ole Miss already has a big win in its pocket, while Texas Tech and Oregon must win to keep pace. Even Oklahoma, Notre Dame and BYU are still in the running.

These are the names/games TST will be monitoring, but there are dozens of others in action. Tell us about your favorite matchups, prospects, or teams in the forum.
