The Buckeye defense was just too much for Penn State to overcome. Ohio State controlled the ball in the 4th quarter giving Penn State little opportunity and the game ended Ohio State 20 Penn State 13, the 8th consecutive win in a row over Penn State for the Buckeyes. But make no mistake, the Nittany Lions are far from out of contention for a National Championship. They will most certainly be among the elite 12 listed when the first CFP rankings are announced  Tuesday night. 

Don't do a double take here, but it appears SMU and Miami (Fla.) may be headed for a showdown in the ACC. SMU demolished previously unbeaten Pittsburgh 48-25 while Miami was taking care of Duke 53-31. The Big 12 was turned upside down when Texas Tech sneaked by previously unbeaten Iowa State with a late field goal with 20 seconds left on the clock to win 23-22, and after a 4 hour weather delay Kansas State fell to Houston 24-19. Tennessee came to life in the second half to down Kentucky 28-18, but Texas A&M was not so lucky. The Aggies traveled to South Carolina and met up with an angry bunch of Gamecocks who tore A&M apart 44-20. Projections will post Tuesday.
