Pandemonium ruled Saturday in college football.
Even when a few of the favorites won, it wasn't without theater. The day included a smattering of critical face-offs with College Football Playoff ramifications dotting the spectrum.
The playoff photo is still far from cleared, and some results made things more dirty. After Ohio State's 38-15 annihilation of Indiana to hand a Hoosiers group with a weak schedule its very first loss of the season, did it drop Curt Cignetti's group out of the 12-team field?
No. 4 Penn State made it through in a one-point win at Minnesota. Texas didn't look excellent however managed Kentucky. Notre Dame rolled. Boise State sweated out a roadway win at lowly Wyoming.
Ole Miss, Alabama and Texas A&M paralyzed their playoff possibilities, opening things up for quite much all the fringe groups.
