It was small solace but the Doofus went 3-0 on the Mega Bets and the Sheriff went 2-1. I was not in a celebratory mood though.
The biggest news from Saturday was Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa going down with a a dislocated hip and posterior wall (it's by your buttocks) fracture. His regular season is over, and most likely his college career. His draft stock took a huge hit too.
It will be up to backup Mac Jones to beat Auburn to keepthe Tide’s CFP hopes alive. Hope not - War Eagle!
Clemson may have started out slow but the Tigers just rolled Wake Forest 52-3. It was their 11th win of the season, moving them up to 3rd in the CFP rankings. They’re also 5-1 ATS in the past six since that near-miss at UNC back on Sept. 28.

It was the biggest game in a long time in Waco. Game Day was in town, a chance at the CFP was there for the taking, as Baylor hosted Oklahoma. The Bears fired out to a 28-3 and the crowd was going nuts. But QB Jalen Hurts led the Sooners to a 34-31 win in the biggest comeback victory in Sooner history. Baylor covered, not that their fans cared.
Minnesota couldn’t handle success, losing to Iowa by a 23-19. The Hawkeyes have covered three in a row, and the 'under' is 7-1-1 in the past nine for the Hawkeyes, too. Iowa hosts Illinois next.

With Bama and Georgia ahead of the Utes and one likely to slip, a win over Oregon in the Pac12 championship game could get them into the CFP. Utah has won and covered six in a row since a 30-23 loss at USC on Sept. 20. The Ducks travel to Tempe on Saturday to play the reeling Forks.
