It's that time again, college football fans. No more soft matchups, or games where nothing is on the line. This is a week with serious playoff implications.
The dust is beginning to settle as the College Football Playoff picture starts to come into focus. Alabama, Clemson, Miami and Oklahoma find themselves in position to play for a national championship in January.
With the season quickly coming to a close, many teams are scrambling to salvage their seasons, jockeying for decent bowls berth or making the final push for a playoff spot in January.
After another week of chaos, the NCAA's best teams are hoping things calm down. Being a ranked team is supposed to be easy, right? Still, there's nothing like a little unpredictability to make the season a lot more exciting.
We're more than halfway through the season, and things are just as chaotic as they were at the start of the year. Top teams are dropping games they are supposed to win, and struggling teams have risen up to shock college football week after week.
We are hitting the midpoint of the season, and we've already seen some surprises. Oklahoma's stunning loss to Iowa State last Saturday (along with TCU's win over West Virginia) has put the Big 12 title back up for grabs. This week could see more of the same.
There was a lot of movement in the AP poll this past week, but the top teams have been relatively stable. That could all change Week 5. Some top teams are on upset alert, either facing tough road matchups or letdowns that could cost them a playoff spot.
