Week 12 wasn't anything like Week 11. Nearly all of the top teams held firm, and we’ll have to wait another week for more chaos across the board. That doesn’t mean the top teams weren’t threatened, however.
Louisville got SPANKED on Thursday night, and all Playoff hopes went out the window with the defeat, as did ACC title hopes, as Clemson will be on its way to Orlando after putting a hurting on Wake Forest.
Alabama won a gimme, but in the Big Ten, Ohio State pushed its limits against Michigan state, Michigan pulled away in the snow, and Wisconsin and Penn State both beat their respective opponents to set up a high-stakes last weekend of the regular season.
Washington got it done too against Arizona State in a big way. The Big 12 had our biggest loser of the week though, as Oklahoma State beat West Virginia. Other losers included Utah, LSU and Washington State each caught the dreaded late-season L as well.
