Rivalry week is done, and with it the regular season for most of the country as we turn our attention to playoff selection committee rankings and conference championship games. The Notre Dame issue worked itself out this week with a last-second field goal loss to Stanford (you apparently can't give Kevin Hogan 30 seconds on the clock!), but now we've got North Carolina, Stanford, and Ohio State potentially knocking on the playoff door if there are any upsets in next week's championship games. Oklahoma appears to be a sure thing for the playoff, and Alabama, Clemson, and either Michigan State or Iowa will complete the playoff four if they are able to win their conference championships.
