Michigan State escaped Michigan by a miracle, on a last play that looked like it was out of a bad sports movie. The top five look pretty locked up, it's anybody guess who will make it to the college playoffs as teams continue to fall.
It's worth noting that only 1 team that made last year's Playoffs were even in the top 6 at this stage of the season.
