What a weekend it was to close the regular season in college football.
Not only have we had the never-ending Lane Kiffin saga in Oxford, but we also saw Texas upset Texas A&M, Auburn nearly take down Alabama in the Iron Bowl, Oklahoma squeak by LSU to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive, and Ohio State fend off Michigan in The Game—securing Ryan Day's second career win over the Wolverines.
Elsewhere, Diego Pavia continued his Heisman case against Tennessee, Tulane’s Jon Sumrall is headed to Florida, Alex Golesh is leaving South Florida to take the Auburn job, and the ACC could feasibly be left out of the postseason after SMU's upset loss to Cal.
And just like that, we’re onto conference championship week in college football. Before we get there, however, here’s a look at the AP’s latest Top 25 rankings.
