College football Week 12 scoreboard: Narrow escapes and stunning upsets

Another INSANE week of college football. Get up to speed here!

Well, we’ve made it to the final week of the college football regular season but not without an insane day of college football.  Week 12 didn’t feature a ton of marquee matchups going in.  Heck, College Gameday was at Montana-Montana State of all places.  It wound up being another insane day of college football with major postseason implications.

Four of the nation’s top five teams were very much on the ropes Saturday.  Who survived thanks to late field goals and who was seemingly eliminated from College Football Playoff contention?

Here are all of your top 25 scores from a crazy Week 12 of college football!

Notre Dame’s best teams not to win a national championship

Notre Dame has had a few great teams that didn’t win a national championship. Inspired by a bad ESPN list here are seven of the best here.

I was scrolling through different pages over the weekend and this morning and stumbled upon an interesting sounding list at ESPN:

“Our top college football teams that failed to win the national championship”

Certainly this list will create some discussion and without a doubt, Notre Dame will be represented on here a few times over.

Or so I thought.

If you clicked the link and read/scrolled through you probably realized that in that list of 25 teams, Notre Dame was never listed.

Uh, what?

No offense to Bill Connelly, I’m sure he’s a stand-up human but what on God’s green earth are you talking about on this list?

I can see Notre Dame not having a top team on the list but none in the top 25 of it is just absurd.  Here are just a few for Mr. Connelly and yourselves to freshen up on as each could have won a title.
