"It was an "almost" sort of Saturday in college football. No. 2 Indiana flirted with disaster at Penn State but survived thanks to an Omar Cooper Jr. toe tap. No. 9 Oregon nearly got Iowa'd but saved itself with an Atticus Sappington field goal. Auburn came close to actually winning a close game against a ranked team for once but got Diego Pavia'd in overtime and couldn't respond."
"Granted, we still got some upsets. Two more top-15 ACC teams fell (in what feels like a weekly occurrence), No. 23 Washington fell to 2-6 Wisconsin in drizzly Madison, and Hawai'i knocked San Diego State out of playoff contention late Saturday night. Lord knows the ACC race doesn't make any more sense than it did a week ago, but Week 11 wasn't quite as chaotic as it could have been, and it ended up offering us a decent amount of clarity in the College Football Playoff hunt."
Several top teams narrowly avoided upsets, including No. 2 Indiana at Penn State and No. 9 Oregon versus Iowa, while Auburn lost in overtime after Diego Pavia's play. Top-ranked North Dakota State and Ferris State each trailed late in lower divisions before rallying. Multiple upsets occurred: two more top-15 ACC teams fell, No. 23 Washington lost to 2-6 Wisconsin, and Hawai'i eliminated San Diego State from playoff contention. Combining Allstate Playoff Predictor odds with SP+–derived probabilities yields eight teams with at least an 81% chance to make the 12-team College Football Playoff field. Three teams show high likelihood of finishing 12-0.
