The top teams in college football held serve in Week 11, but it wasn’t easy for some. Sure, Ohio State handled Michigan State, Georgia punished Ole Miss, and a late rally from USC made their loss look much closer. But, Florida State had to contend with Miami for all four quarters to avoid a home loss. Trailing at halftime, Washington pitched a shutout to avoid being the next Pac-12 leader to lose to Utah. Texas went up big early against TCU, but squeaked by with a three-point victory.
The big matchup of Week 12 will be Washington and their vaunted offense versus Oregon State and their stingy defense.
