We didn’t get any season-changing results entering college football Week 10, unless you count Kansas State’s demolition of Oklahoma State, Ohio State’s outlasting Penn State or Notre Dame surprising Syracuse, forcing the losers of those three games out of the playoff race for good.
But the top five all won, with the closest margin 13 points, and status quo remained in the playoff picture for another week.
That sets up perhaps the best schedule of the season. It’s certainly the best in the Southeastern Conference, where we have what may be division championship games on both sides: No. 3 Tennessee at No. 1 Georgia, with the Bulldogs favored by 8 points, in the East; and No. 6 Alabama at No. 15 LSU, with the Crimson Tide laying 13 points, in the West. (Ole Miss could still be a factor in the West race.)
Elsewhere around the country, No. 5 Clemson gets a stiff test at resurgent Notre Dame, and Texas is perhaps a surprise favorite in a trip to No. 13 Kansas State.
Here’s a complete Week 10 schedule with TV information and a list of the available point spreads and over/under totals at Caesars Sportsbook:
