Big day for the Big Ten and Big 12.

Michigan @ Penn State. Michigan State @ Ohio State. Baylor @ Oklahoma State. TCU @ Oklahoma. Those four games are huge for determining who may represent these two conferences in the CFP.

So nice of the SEC to essentially take the week off so that other conferences could have the spotlight!

Michigan wins, officially eliminating Penn State from the Big Ten East title race and setting up a potential winner-take-all game with Ohio State next week.

Hopefully Michigan State takes care of Ohio State today.

Michigan State beats Ohio State. If the Spartans beat Penn State next week, they win the Big Ten East. If Penn State wins, then the winner of Ohio State-Michigan wins the East.

Urban Meyer should be fired for only giving Ezekiel Elliott 12 carries in such a close game.

Peaches, your 'boys aren't looking too good right now.

Baylor beats Oklahoma State to keep their Big 12 title hopes alive.

There's a bunch of 1 loss teams, several 2 loss teams, and even a few 3 loss teams that should be ranked higher then Iowa, IMO.

WOW. TCU scores with less than a minute left and elects to go for 2 and the lead instead of kicking the extra point to tie and the pass gets batted away.

Gutsy or stupid, I'm not sure which.

There was a guy open in the endzone, just a great play by the defender to get a hand on the ball.

The word you are looking for is stupid.

OK had no QB, their QB was down with concussion, or at least pulled out because of the risk.

Their offense did almost nothing for drive after drive. They had no offense but for the run game (which did well considering how terrible the QB play was), but even so - there was no way that OK would have scored a TD in overtime, or 32 overtimes if it came to that.

Meanwhile TCU was playing with a backup QB too, but their QB was so borderline gutless it would be crazy to assume that he could get a 2 point conversion. And he didn't. But the TCU RBs were managing to move the chains and bust out occasionally. That game goes to OT, TCU scores a TD - almost assuredly considering how gassed the OK D was.

Nothing about the circumstances even remotely indicated that :

1 - They had even a chance of converting that 2 pointer (remember the same QB that tried to slide short of the 1st down market on a crucial 3rd down would also be the same guy trying to score the 2pt play...no shot)

2 - The OK team was unable to pass the ball with any effectiveness, which meant the risk of going to OT was almost gone. They just had to pack the line and leave the safeties to clean up if the RB broke free.

Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Even if he had won it would have been dumb. On the road, you usually go the win when faced with potentially taking it to OT against a better team. But since OK had no QB? The rule is less applicable.

Stanford had better not be one of them.

Stanford would kick the crap out of Iowa. As would about 4 other PAC 12 schools , IMO. I think they're about the 5th best team in their own conference, but somehow their schedule doesn't have them playing any of the others. Ill give them credit and put them in the playoffs of they can win their conference title game.

That's highly debatable given Stanford got beat by Northwestern. Northwestern is terrible. I know this because Iowa destroyed them.

Well there's a pretty good chance that the rosé bowl will be Stanford vs Iowa. So we might find out.
