Week 10 of the college football season was, largely, uneventful — at least, inasmuch the final results are concerned.
Indeed, each top-10 team in the US LBM Coaches Poll won their Week 11 game. The highest-ranked team that lost on Saturday, Nov. 14, was No. 13 Kentucky against Florida. No. 14 Southern California also lost, albeit to Indiana, the No. 5 team in the country.
That doesn't mean the college football schedule didn't produce interesting implications for the College Football Playoff race.
As has been the case since the first set of CFP rankings were released, No. 7 Alabama (the No. 3 team in the CFP rankings)
had a rough week as far as its playoff resume is concerned. The Crimson Tide slugged out a 21-6 road win over a sub-.500 Vanderbilt team while each of the five SEC teams it has a previous win over lost in Week 11.
It remains to be seen whether the CFP selection committee adjusts course on the Crimson Tide or if Kalen DeBoer and Co. maintain a top-four ranking with only Chattanooga and Auburn remaining on the schedule (the Crimson Tide's chances of an SEC Championship game berth are dwindling).
That's to say nothing of a muddled FPI top 25 that has some interesting rankings.
Elsewhere, in a game most people on the East Coast probably weren't awake to see, No. 2 Utah survived an upset bid from No. 21 Arizona with a 40-39 barnburner in Tucson, Arizona, to maintain its undefeated record and place atop the rankings. In the SEC, No. 8 Texas overcame an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit (and three Arch Manning turnovers) to beat No. 22 LSU 22-21 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
How will those games and others impact the post-Week 11 top 25? Here's what to know:
