After UCLA announced it hired Chip Kelly to coach the Bruins and Nebraska fired Mike Riley, the rivalry games began. As the day drew to an end, Auburn had once again given the College Football Playoff race a seismic shake.
Thoughts, takedowns and takeaways from the 13th week of the season; there are only two undefeated teams left and neither is Alabama.
1. A College Football Playoff without Alabama? Very possible, even likely. At 11-1 and with no chance to win a conference championship after losing to Auburn, Alabama is going to need help.
2. The Tide always do well with the eye test, but the resume is light compared to what Ohio State did to reach the playoff without playing in its conference title game last season.
