Comment (1)

The Selection committee got three gifts from the world of college football.

1. Iowa beat Minnesota
2. Oklahoma came back to beat Baylor leaving no major conference unbeatens besides the big 3.
3. Texas A&M won big against South Carolina getting ranked so Clemson and Alabama again have a ranked victory.

Committee meeting will be really short this week,
