The top dictionary definition of the word rival is one of two or more striving to reach or obtain something that only one can po se s. However, in the context of Rivalry Week the final regular season weekend in college football I think a better definition of rival, or more specifically is when these two teams meet on the field, no one has a clue whats going to happen.Rivalry Weekend separated the contenders from the pretenders and in the on-field crazine s we saw four teams separate themselves from the rest of the pack. Georgia, Michigan, TCU, and USC all (deserve to) control their own destinies, while Alabama and Ohio State are left waiting for a slip-up for a chance to sneak back into the College Football Playoff field. MICHIGAN 45, OHIO STATE 23Michigan punched its ticket to the College Football Playoff with a dominant win over Ohio State in Columbus. Ohio State controlled the first quarter as Michigan struggled to get its ground attack going with Blake Corum limited, but the Wolverines used big plays to hang around in the game during the first half. QB JJ McCarthy hit WR Cornelius Johnson for long touchdown pa Michal Kempny Men Jersey ses on back-to-back drives to keep Michigan in the game, but the Wolverines still trailed 20-17 heading into the break. However, the second half looked like a repeat of last seasons matchup, as RB Donovan Edwards ran wild against Jim Knowles Buckeye defense, the Wolverines pre sured Ohio State QB CJ Stroud into multiple mistakes, and outscored Ohio State 28-3 in the final two quarters to pull away for a dominant victory. With the win, Michigan will play for a second straight Big Ten title on Saturday against Purdue, while Ohio State will be rooting hard for Kansas State and Utah in their matchups next week. USC 38, NOTRE DAME 27USC used the formula that had worked Connor Mcmichael Kids Jersey all season to pull out an impre sive victory over Notre Dame. Caleb Williams had another a brilliant performance, and he was aided by 154 yards on the ground from RB Austin Jones and an opportunistic USC defense that forced 2 Notre Dame turnovers. The Trojans scored on their opening po se sion, led 17-7 at halftime, and extended the lead to 24-7 by converting a Notre Dame fumble on the opening po se sion of the second half into points. With the victory, coupled with Ohio State and LSU lo ses, USC will move into CFP Playoff position. Their only remaining obstacle is a rematch with a tough Utah team who dealt the Trojans their only lo s of the season, a 43-42 setback in Salt Lake City. Should the presumptive seeds hold, a matchup of Williams against the stout Georgia defense would be must-see TV. WEEKEND HIGHLIGHTS~ Texas A&M notched a ma sive 38-23 victory over LSU in College Station on Saturday, denying Brian Kelly a chance at a CFP berth in his first season in Baton Rouge. LSU will still play Georgia for the SEC Championship but given how the Tigers have played in recent weeks, that one could get ugly. ~ Mi si sippi State turned away a game-tying two-point conversion attempt to pull out a 24-22 victory in the Egg Ilya Samsonov Men Jersey Bowl over Ole Mi s. The biggest news in the Magnolia State this weekend though was Lane Kiffins announcement that he would be staying in Oxford. ~ TCU left no doubt with a 62-14 victory over Iowa State. The Cyclones came into the game with the top defense in the Big 12, but the Horned Frogs scored early and often, never giving Iowa State a chance. ~ South Carolina continued playing spoiler with a 31-30 comeback victory over a mistake-prone Clemson team. The Gamecocks overcame an early 14-0 hole by limiting Tiger QB DJ Uiagalelei to just 8-29 pa sing for 99 yards. This offseason will be an interesting one at Clemson. ~ Both teams will head into the ACC Championship Game off lo ses as North Carolina dropped its second game in a row to in-state rival NC State. The Tar Heels trailed much of the game and even late heroics from QB Drake Maye couldnt overcome special teams miscues, as the Heels fell 30-27 on a mi sed field goal in double overtime. ~ Oregon State trailed 31-10 late in the third quarter but rallied for a 38-34 victory over archrival Oregon, denying the Ducks a chance to play for the Pac-12 title. ~ UCF blew a 31-7 lead against 1-11 USF and needed a touchdown with 20 seconds left (on an incredible one-handed catch by Alec Holler) to pull out a 46-39 victory over USF and book a trip to the American Championship Game in New Orleans against Tulane next weekend. ~ UTSA overcame a 24-0 first half deficit behind 382 pa sing yards and 3 touchdowns from Frank Harris, locking up a spot against North Texas in next weekends Conference USA championship. McDONOUGHS MUSINGS~ If I had to describe Aaron Ness Men Jersey Ohio States defensive gameplan against Michigan in one word, it would be arrogant. The Buckeyes came into the game expecting to enact some payback on a Wolverine team that they did not think matched up athletically with them. Defensive coordinator Jim Knowles continually left his corners in one-on-one matchups, and on multiple Michigan touchdowns had every defender lined up within 7 yards of the line of scrimmage. The result was big play after big play, as an offense that put up just 19 points against Illinois last week torched the Buckeyes for 45. Knowles was brought in to fix the Buckeye defense, and through the first 11 games he had been succe sful, but this was a major, major step back. JJ McCarthy completed just 50% of his pa ses and when Ohio State actually dropped back and played coverage, they got pre sure on him. However, rather than playing to grind out a win, drive after drive they played for a knockout punch which never came, while allowing McCarthy to attack them over the top. ~ With the regular season coming to an end Saturday, the coaching carousel is already in full swing. I dont think we will see the crazine s we saw last season with so much turnover at the blue bloods, but as of writing, here are already the rumored and confirmed changes in the Power Five. Matt Rhule Michal Kempny Kids Jersey NebraskaGrade ANebraska secured a proven program builder with Rhule, as he previously turned around moribund Temple and Baylor programs before heading to the NFL. The only word of caution in Lincoln is that Scott Frost also seemed like a no-brainer, but we know how that turned out. Luke Fickell WisconsinGrade C+Fickell has built a winning program at Cincinnati and has deep Midwestern ties but will be an outsider in a very insular state, has the task of replacing 2 local sons in Paul Chrys
