Ohio State and Clemson placed the finishing touches on undefeated regular seasons to kick off Saturday's portion of rivalry week.
Despite Michigan's recent improvement, the Buckeyes went into Ann Arbor and put another smackdown on the Wolverines. Led by J.K. Dobbins, Ohio State enjoyed a 56-27 win.
Clemson, meanwhile, wasted little time in cruising past South Carolina. For the fifth consecutive game, Trevor Lawrence had at least a three-touchdown, zero-interception day, and the Tigers are positioned to win their fifth straight ACC championship.
Those afternoon games followed a few notable midweek results but preceded the showdowns in Minneapolis, Tuscaloosa and Stillwater.
