Washington stayed undefeated with a acquire over USC in a combat of excessive-profile quarterbacks, Alabama bested LSU in entrance of ESPN’s School GameDay crew, Texas survived in extra time in the direction of Kansas Notify, and Georgia survived a tough check from Missouri.

On the non-Energy 5 entrance, Air Stress stumbled in the direction of Navy for its first lack of the one year, and that leaves issues big open for the Recent one year’s Six berth that goes to the nation’s excessive Group of 5 group. Tulane made its case to lunge into that area with a 13-10 acquire over East Carolina.

Bo Nix has spent grand of the 2023 season overshadowed by fellow Pac-12 neatly-known individual quarterbacks Michael Penix Jr. (Washington) and Caleb Williams (USC), however will probably be time to originate viewing him as a result of the accepted amongst that trio within the Heisman Trophy rush.

On Saturday, Nix carried out 29-of-38 go makes an try for 386 yards with 4 touchdowns and one interception whereas including two additional scores on the bottom in a 63-19 dismantling of California.

In his fifth collegiate season and his 2nd one year at Oregon, Nix has now thrown for two,723 yards with 25 touchdowns and handiest two interceptions, connecting for a number of touchdown passes in each of the Geese video video games this season.

Sitting at No. 6 within the first School Soccer Playoff rankings, Oregon is restful very grand alive within the playoff picture. Its handiest loss change into as quickly as to undefeated Washington, and the Pac-12 Championship Recreation would possibly probably give the Geese an opportunity to avenge that loss within the occasion that they’re going to acquire out in the direction of USC, Arizona Notify and Oregon Notify.

Nix can be on the center of all of it, and whereas Jayden Daniels (LSU), J.J. McCarthy (Michigan) and others will even ingredient into the balloting, he would possibly moreover want moved into the driving force’s seat within the Heisman Trophy rush on Saturday.

With an 8-0 originate to the season, Air Stress entered Week 10 as a result of absolutely the top-ranked Group of 5 group at No. 1 in doubtlessly essentially the most up-to-date AP ballot, placing it in the driving force’s seat for a area in a Recent one year’s Six bowl sport.

That’s not the case after Air Stress laid an egg in the direction of Navy on Saturday.

The Falcons bask in succeeded on the flexibility of 1 amongst doubtlessly one of many high defenses within the nation, permitting 13.4 sides (4th in FBS) and 237.9 whole yards (third in FBS) per contest.

They allowed 23 sides to a 2-6 Unlit Knights squad, and offensively they managed a lone area aim whereas turning the ball over six circumstances with 4 misplaced fumbles and a pair of interceptions en path to a 23-3 loss.

That may doubtless tumble them out of the Excessive 25 totally, and the door now swings open for any individual from the neighborhood of Tulane, Liberty, Fresno Notify and Toledo to be taking part in in a marquee bowl sport on Jan. 1.

The Oklahoma Sooners bask in solely dominated their in-pronounce rivalry in the direction of Oklahoma Notify over time, which stretches the overall means attend to a 75-0 shellacking in some unspecified time in the way forward for the 1904 season.

With the Sooners transferring to the SEC subsequent season, the annual assembly is not any additional. Whereas one acquire wasn’t going to realize grand to stage the scales within the common sequence, the Cowboys seized their probability to get what would possibly probably be the closing giggle within the rivalry for a while.

After seeing their School Soccer Playoff possibilities lunge up in smoke with their first lack of the season to Kansas closing weekend, Oklahoma performed a sloppy sport on Saturday with three turnovers and eight penalties, and 10 unanswered sides by the Cowboys within the fourth quarter proved to be the excellence in a 27-24 victory.

So whereas Oklahoma would possibly probably abet a 91-20-7 revenue all-time, it’s Oklahoma Notify that may stake state to the ultimate victory within the Bedlam rivalry as we in the intervening time understand it.

The School Soccer Playoff rush is heating up, and three of the nation’s excessive groups will face tough exams as allotment of subsequent weekend’s slate.

In the meantime, No. 1 Ohio Notify (vs. Michigan Notify) and No. 4 Florida Notify (vs. Miami) will every doubtless be double-digit favorites at dwelling with a mental probability of protecting their undefeated recordsdata intact.

In a conflict of two of the nation’s excessive quarterbacks. Bo Nix (Oregon) and Caleb Williams (USC) will attain combat, and the Geese are prepared within the wings at No. 6 within the CFP rankings if just a few these groups ahead of them undergo losses.

With all of that on the docket, there change into as quickly as no scarcity of alternate options for ESPN’s School GameDay to determine between.

How will Week 11 motion shake up the bowl sport picture?
