How did we get to the final week of the regular season already?
There’s a lot at stake for the College Football Playoff. Rivalry week only featured two games between ranked teams, but that hasn’t taken away from what’s been an entertaining day.
One team that won’t need to worry about its playoff status is No. 5 Notre Dame, which secured its spot in the field with a 49-35 win over USC. And amid all the chaos, could No. 13 Alabama perhaps sneak into the playoff after a 28-14 win over Auburn in the Iron Bowl?
After Houston took the early lead with a TD, it tries an onside kick, but BYU scoops it and returns it all the way for a game-tying score. BYU can earn a spot in the Big 12 title game with a win.
