There are still several crucial decisions to be made and games to be played, but following the weekend's slate of matchups, there is a bit more clarity on a very tight race for the College Football Playoff.
No. 3 Michigan basically put one foot in the door of the playoff with a huge win over rival Ohio State at The Big House. By ending the Buckeyes' perfect season, the Wolverines punched their ticket to the Big 10 Championship and guaranteed themselves at least the No. 2 seed in the committee's next ranking.
A win over No. 17 Iowa in the conference championship will put a really nice bow on what has been a tremendous regular season that included plenty of adversity.
