- Notre Dame beat No. 1 Miami 31-24 after opening the CFP rankings at No. 11, preserving the top-12 guarantee that earlier coverage said a Miami loss would have ended; with Boston College, SMU and Syracuse remaining, the source calls the Irish "just about playoff bound."
- Utah extended the nation’s longest winning streak to 14 with a 28-20 win over BYU, moved to 9-0 for only the third time in program history and gave Morgan Scalley a 10-0 start as head coach; former coach Kyle Whittingham’s Michigan team fell to 5-4.
- UCLA beat Minnesota 34-20 as Ty Dieffenbach threw for 303 yards on eight completions; winning two of its final three games against Illinois, Michigan and USC would put the Bruins in the Big Ten championship, which the source calls most likely to be against Indiana.
- Georgia demolished No. 10 Ole Miss 42-7, leaving the Bulldogs as the SEC’s clear No. 1; with Miami also losing, the source says Georgia could become the country’s new No. 1 team that week.
- SEC parity is concrete: Alabama beat No. 14 LSU 31-13 after debuting at No. 5 and could get a first-round bye, while Kentucky, Texas and Tennessee have two conference losses and South Carolina, LSU, Missouri and Oklahoma have three; the source says the title game could be two-loss vs. three-loss.
- Oregon kept its playoff hopes flickering with back-to-back wins over Northwestern and an upset of Ohio State, leaving the three-loss Ducks on a path toward 9-3 that the source calls achievable, if not expected.
Why it matters: Notre Dame’s 31-24 win over Miami resolves the concrete risk in earlier coverage: a loss would have ended its top-12 guarantee, whereas the Irish are now "just about playoff bound" with Boston College, SMU and Syracuse remaining. Separately, five SEC teams were projected at 9–3 for four at-large spots, leaving no clear hierarchy behind Georgia.
