Rivalry Week once again earned its reputation as college football’s most dramatic stage, reshaping the postseason picture just when it felt settled. Week 14 delivered everything you can think of, leaving the rankings tighter and the stakes sharper heading into Championship Weekend. Texas stunned unbeaten Texas A&M on Black Friday, ejecting the Aggies from title contention and opening the SEC door for a Georgia team that survived a gritty struggle with Georgia Tech. Ohio State unleashed years of frustration in Ann Arbor, bulldozing Michigan to set up a 1 vs. 2 clash with unbeaten Indiana for the B1G crown. Alabama barely escaped Auburn again, while Miami, BYU, and Vanderbilt inserted themselves deeper into the at-large debate with emphatic wins, making the final Playoff berths anything but clear. And as Ole Miss celebrated its Egg Bowl triumph, Lane Kiffin’s stunning departure to LSU ignited chaos in Oxford.
