Chris 'The Bear' Fallica's college football Week 11 study guide
This past Saturday was another electric day in college football.
Second-ranked Georgia was tied 20-20 in the fourth quarter with unranked Florida before scoring two late touchdowns, fourth-ranked Ohio State erased a 10-point deficit against third-ranked Penn State, undefeated Iowa State lost to unranked Texas Tech by one point, 11th ranked Clemson lost to unranked Louisville by double digits, 10th ranked Texas A&M lost by 24 to unranked South Carolina, and three other teams ranked in the top 25 also lost this past Saturday.
It was another tough weekend for some historic programs, as USC, Michigan, Nebraska, and Florida State all lost in addition to Penn State and Clemson. Those schools are some of the most winningest in the history of the sport, truly highlighting how parity is at an all-time high.
With weekends like this past one, lengthy discussions ensue between myself and the fine people at FOX Sports every week as we plan our production for Big Noon Kickoff. Every Sunday night, I reflect on what transpired the day before, and send out a lengthy email to producers, researchers, and my colleagues on air about my thoughts on what happened, as well as what's notable for the upcoming week.
I've decided to peel back the curtain and share those thoughts with you all, because everyone should rejoice in the splendor that is college football.
This week, six ranked teams will be on the road against unranked opponents, along with two ranked vs. ranked matchups taking place. We'll get into those shortly. All of the top 10 teams in the AP poll play this weekend, and 21 of the top 25 have action as well.
Let's dive into my thoughts and games to watch for in Week 11.
On Tuesday, the first edition of this season's CFP
