Great week for Spartans athletics in general, with the win over Kansas for the basketball team leading to a number three ranking in the AP poll, and of course MSU football literally destroying the Buckeyes, causing the players to lose confidence in the coaches play calling.
MSU more than doubled the Buckeyes in yardage from scrimmage and more than tripled then in first downs. Even had Geiger missed the kick, MSU likely wins in overtime.
Now on to the projections.
1. Clemson
Clemson stays undefeated, and will stay at number one. The committee needs Clemson to stay at number one to have a reason to keep Notre Dame alive. Notre Dame travels well and would be guaranteed ratings.
2. Alabama
Alabama made it through their bye week, crushing their FCS competition. Alabama won't make the the number one spot, but they were dominant enough to stay at number two.
3. Iowa
This is the week Iowa makes the top 4. With only two undefeated teams left, the committee can no longer keep the Hawkeyes out of the top 4. I think they jump Notre Dame, since the Irish struggled with BC.
4. Notre Dame
The Irish stay in the top 4 virtue of their quality loss to Clemson and overall schedule. They don't move up due to the BC game being close.
5 Michigan State
The Spartans have the best win in FBS after defeating OSU and move right back into contention. Win out and Sparty is assured of a place in the playoff.
