Rivalry Week is upon us, and the College Football Playoff race remains relatively wide open with one game remaining in the regular season.
Week 12 has historically been something of a calm before the storm, especially in the SEC, where most teams played either a Group of Five or FCS opponents. That proved to be the case this season, as well, though there were a few exceptions.
Washington and Oregon State played the game of the day as the Huskies kept their undefeated record intact with a two-point road win in a torrential downpour in Corvallis.
Otherwise, it was a mostly chalky week as we prepare for a pivotal Rivalry Week slate headlined by a top-three matchup between Ohio State and Michigan State in the Big House with a Big Ten East title and likely playoff spot on the line.
Before we get to what should be another classic in that series, here are the winners and losers from the penultimate week of the regular season.
