Championship November is in full force. Last week saw Miami, Oklahoma, and Auburn make huge statements for the College Football Playoffs. Comparatively, Notre Dame, TCU, and Georgia took steps back. Now, it looks like there could be a path forward for a two-loss Ohio State to make a claim to a playoff spot. Or, could we see the SEC or ACC get two teams into the playoffs.<\/p>\n
Notwithstanding the playoff discussion, the bowl season is just over a month away. It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Teams are jockeying for position in the bowl pecking order as the season winds down. Also, there are teams that are playing out the last few weeks in an effort to just get to bowl eligibility. Where is your team headed? Last Word on College Football will give you a preview as you make your holiday plans.<\/p>\n
