Top 25 scoreboard and conference championship updates

If Washington loses or barely beats Colorado in the PAC 12 championship game, the Wolverines could move up a spot.

For those hoping No. 7 PSU would jump No. 5 MI by beating No. 6 Wisconsin, consider this: MI is already ranked ahead of Penn State, and the Wolverines already beat Wisconsin. And Penn State and Wisconsin play for the Big Ten title, and especially if Penn State wins, it’ll say it should make the final four since it won the Big Ten and was the only team to beat Ohio State this year. Penn State would need to jump a MI team that beat them by 39 points (which could be problematic) and an Ohio State team that they beat at home by only 3 points. His bellyaching about officials after the Ohio State game was embarrassing and pathetic.

The Ohio State-Michigan game scored 16.8 million viewers. After that, it’s a whole lot of Big Ten waiting in the wings. By the time Durbin had stepped back into position, there were 4 seconds left on the play clock. The player to watch in this game is Alabama RB Damien Harris. “I argued for the four best conference champions”. Remember his 57-yard catch at Iowa? Call me conspiratorial, but I think the committee would relish a Urban Meyer-Nick Saban rematch of the 2014 semifinal and it would be easy to justify because Ohio State isn’t a conference champion and probably should be No. 4 because of it.

The Huskies need a win to lock down one of the four playoff spots, while the Buffaloes look to keep a dream season alive. But with all the scenarios on the table, what will it take for the Wolverines to actually get selected for the College Football Playoff?

Michigan – You’re rooting for at least one upset this weekend (not including Alabama), but two would make it feel a lot safer. Penn State forces you to defend the whole field, not just the run game, not just the passing game. That would in fact be a great weekend of football and is still a possibility.

“You would play your opposite division latter September and October and then in November you’d play your division and then you didn’t have to worry about a rematch”, Gundy said.

May: We’re talking offense, of course, because the defense can play with any team in the country. “He’s a heck of a player”. Penn State and Wisconsin join Big Ten powers Ohio State (No. 2) and Michigan (No. 5) in the Top 10 of the College Football Playoff Rankings. Wisconsin’s defense, on average, is good no matter what quarter it is. The Big Ten has been far an away the best conference in the country all season, with four teams that could match up with most teams in the country.

GOLDMAN: Well, you know, maybe they should. Then usually at some point during the game, usually at a critical time, he breaks a big one for us. So what we have right now, I think, is two spots, and three, four, five teams fighting for those spots. Bring your friends and bring your silverware, we’re going to have a feast.

But Michigan blew its chance.

Guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

A delay could have a domino effect on other postseason matchups with bowl season starting December 17.

Clement was banged up last season, limiting what was supposed to be his break-out campaign.

We’ve reached the final week of the season. He rushed for 1,140 yards on the season, scoring 13 rushing touchdowns.

Look for the Badgers to pick up a high number of tackles for loss. They face off against Penn State, whose losses have come to #5 MI and the now ranked Pitt Panthers, who took down #3 Clemson a few short weeks ago. Gundy said Monday. “So here’s what I’m saying”. Corey has done a nice job this year. One would be played in the Meadowlands at MetLife Stadium, the other would be played in DC at FedEx Field. Let us know in comment section.

I love chaos, and I will never apologize for that. “Can’t and wouldn’t compare him to all the other guys because they’re all so different”. A lot of insane things can shake up. “It starts with their O-line and tight ends”. They’re still waiting to hear which bowl game they’ll be heading to. The Wolverines controlled their own destiny and lost two of their last three games.
