It's Week 10, yes, Week 10 already. And we had our first batch of College Football Playoff rankings released this week, and those rankings sure did spice things up.
The day offered plenty of excitement from Purdue stunning No. 3 Michigan State, TCU upsetting No. 12 Baylor AND Illinois upsetting No. 20 Minnesota. Elsewhere, No. 5 Ohio State fended off Nebraska and No. 6 Cincinnati barely squeaked out a win against Tulsa that probably won't do them many favors in terms of the College Football Playoff rankings next week.
Not to be outdone, No. 2 Alabama survived a scare from LSU on Saturday night in a game that came down to the final play.
Full schedule: All teams | Top 25
Touchdown of the day
Huh? We're not sure exactly what happened, but we love it and approve and want to see it 100 more times.
DOUBLE REVERSE SCREEN PASS FOR THE TD! ๐คฏ

Ole Miss officials did end up apologizing for the tweets.
Give us all the punter taunts that are out there. And it's especially deserved for Illinois since the Illini beat No. 20 Minnesota.

Apparently it takes a lot more to not have A.T. Perry score on you.
A fox runs onto the field and flees into the tunnel during Arizona State's game vs. USC.
How does someone even make it out of a scrum like this and still manage to score?
A little trickery can take you a long way.

Remember the name: Kalil Pimpleton. He had three receptions for 103 yards and a TD and two punt returns for TDs (70 and 97 yards) in the first half of Central Michigan's game against Eastern Michigan.
