Summary
Ohio State, SMU and BYU were major winners in college football Week 10. David Ubben, Chris Vannini, and Damien Harris react to the weekend, including Louisville's drubbing of Clemson and Ohio State's gritty win in Happy Valley. Is this the peak of Penn State's football program? Georgia eked out a win against Florida, but Billy Napier's seat isn't much cooler. Texas Tech, Houston and South Carolina shook up the playoff picture while SMU flexed. Plus, a look at the 12-team playoff bracket projections before Tuesday's first rankings. To close, Heismans and Criesmans.
