Baylor’s Chris Johnson throws two gorgeous touchdown passes vs. Oklahoma State

Left end Joey Bosa hasn’t exploded on the traditional stat sheet this season for the Buckeyes, but he has 22 quarterback hurries and 16 hits standing next to his four sacks. If Oklahoma beats Oklahoma State, the Frogs are Big 12 champions. The Sooners state is the site for three big games, all with major postseason implications. “It’s always fun to play these type of games, these big games”. The Bears have road wins over SMU 56-21, Kansas 66-7 and Kansas State 31-24. Plus, several division titles could be handed out. Who would the Playoff committee pick between OU and Notre Dame?

Baylor isn’t out of the running to win the conference. Each team has a quarterback situation that is less than satisfactory.

No. 18 TCU at No. 7 Oklahoma, 8 ET: This game would have been among our top to watch this week if TCU wasn’t on a bit of a slide and without receiver Josh Doctson and possibly quarterback Trevonne Boykin. Then, after Stidham had taken a few grimace-worthy hits after a week in which his availability seemed at least partly in doubt, here came Chris Johnson, a third-year sophomore Texan with four passes on his collegiate dossier, all from 2014. The Midshipmen are trying to stay unbeaten in the American Athletic Conference and setup a possible winner-take-all game with No. 13 Houston next week. He overthrew a wide-open Malachi Dupre when the Bayou Bengals had a chance to grab a 7-3 lead, tossed an interception to help push the deficit to 24 and, finally, blew the Tigers’ final chance to claw back in the game in the fourth quarter when a miscommunication with Leonard Fournette led to a turnover on downs at the Ole Miss goal line.

Huge game for USC here and Norte Dame if you think about it. If USC wins out they can make it to the Pac 10 championship game. A season-ticket holder since 2007, Conner makes the 14-hour round trip drive to each home game from Colorado.

The Tigers haven’t won an SEC title since 2011. This game had the potential to be a play-in game for the playoff, until Stanford lost to OR last weekend. One of these teams is still undefeated, but it’s not Baylor like we all predicted at the beginning of the season.

The ninth-ranked Spartans and No. 2 Buckeyes meet at Ohio Stadium.

There is no chance that the top six teams in the rankings can all win out, since #3 Ohio State would play #5 Iowa in the Big Ten Championship game in early December.

The Fighting Irish are in good position to win their remaining games and finish the year at 11-1. He’ll have his work cut out for him against Ohio State’s vaunted back seven, which includes cornerback Eli Apple, safeties Joshua Perry and Vonn Bell, and linebacker Darron Lee.

This game is tricky, but I like Va. Tech in the first half only. “He constantly talks about playing one play at a time, giving great effort and playing for the man next to you”. The Hokies (5-5) need one victory to ensure a bowl bid for the 23rd consecutive season. That’s harder to do against the escapability of Adams, who is among the best at buying time while keeping his eyes down field to his big-play targets. Thus, the Big 12’s best opportunity to have a team in the playoff might be to have Oklahoma win out.
