It's the time of year in the college football season where one loss can end a team's chance at a national championship.
Ask the Ohio State Buckeyes, who went into Week 12 undefeated and left with a loss to the No. 6 Michigan State Spartans—their first ranked opponent all season. Barring a monumental collapse from a few other teams, the loss ended Ohio State's shot at a second straight national title.
The loss could pave the way for the Iowa Hawkeyes to creep into the next installment of the College Football Playoff rankings, which will be announced at 7 p.
