It's a little over a week before the College Football Playoff bracket is revealed. Rivalry Week was a chance for some CFP hopefuls to solidify their standing and for others to put up some style points and prove they deserve a spot.
On Friday, Texas A&M fell from the ranks of the undefeated, losing to rival Texas. The 27-17 win gave the Longhorns a chance to do some politicking about a potential at-large bid. The Aggies' loss put Georgia back into the SEC title game for a rematch with Alabama.
Saturday's slate didn't feature that kind of upset. It was mostly the opposite. Texas Tech and BYU won big in their respective games and will have a rematch in the Big 12 title game. Ohio State did as well, beating rival Michigan 27-9. The Buckeyes will meet Indiana for the Big Ten crown and, likely, the top spot in the CFP.
Virginia's win over Virginia Tech combined with SMU's loss to Cal will keep Miami out of the ACC championship game, but the Canes are hoping for an at-large bid following a 38-7 win over Pitt.
