Week 10 – Chaos & Clarity in College Football
In Week 10, the college football landscape experienced a seismic shift with major upsets and power-moves that reshaped playoff trajectories. The underdogs made statements: SMU Mustangs stunned No. 10 Miami Hurricanes in overtime, while the NC State Wolfpack dismantled No. 8 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets with 583 total yards, handing them their season’s first loss. Meanwhile, powerhouse programs executed when expected: Ohio State Buckeyes beat Penn State Nittany Lions decisively, while Indiana Hoosiers routed Maryland Terrapins to cement their status among the elite.
Some of the most significant storylines: the ACC’s credibility took another hit as multiple ranked teams fell. The Big 12 and Big Ten races tightened thanks to surprise road wins. And for several top-10 programs, the margin for error evaporated this week—every remaining game now carries even higher stakes.
