Another week of college football meant another week of crazy gamed. At this point in the season, there are only two undefeated teams in the FBS. The 11-0 Iowa Hawkeyes and the 11-0 Clemson Tigers. Both teams had easy wins over bad teams at home to Purdue and Wake Forest respectively.
The two other undefeated teams, Ohio State and Houston fell to 10-1. Houston was never in the playoff consideration, as playing in the AAC is a big disadvantage. They got beat 20 to 17 on the road at Uconn.
Ohio State lost to number nine Michigan State at home on a last second field goal by Michael Geiger 17-14. Ohio State faced a lot of controversial issues after the game, mainly from their play calling. They only got Heisman contender Ezekiel Elliott twelve carries the whole game. I was cheering against the Buckeyes, and I thought it was just awful playcalling. Elliot didn't hold back on his post-game comments. He said there's no way that he is coming back, and that the coaching staff didn't put them in a position to win. Ever since they lost offensive coordinator Tom Herman for the head coaching job at the now 10-1 Houston Cougars. Nothing clicked all year, and their repeating as champions is almost over.
Iowa has established themselves as the top team right now as the top team in the Big Ten. They are also third in the Amway Coaches' Poll at number three, and got a first place vote for the first time, in well, a long time. Iowa should be in the top four come Tuesday and maybe even number three, hopping Notre Dame. The Hawkeyes clinched the Big Ten West, and have to beat Nebraska and probably Michigan State in the Championship to get into the Playoffs. If they go 12-1, they will most likely go to the Granddaddy of them all, the Rose Bowl against the Pac-12 champions. The Iowa Hawkeyes are in a good spot.
