QUOTE OF THE WEEK I just didn’t want to fall down, maybe two or three more yards and I would have been out of steam. They didn’t get me this time.

California linebacker Evan Weaver talking about his pick-six that secured the 12-10 win over No. 15 Washington.

TEAM OF THE WEEK: OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS For the third straight week, a College Football Playoff contender falls as Oklahoma State knocks off No. 6 Texas, 38-35. The Cowboys got off to a fast start, scoring 31 points in the first half while holding Texas to only 14. The Longhorns were able to rally in the second half, cutting the score to 31-28 in the fourth quarter, but a late touchdown by Oklahoma State gave the Cowboys enough distance to secure the upset. Oklahoma State will go to Baylor this week.

BEHIND THE BOWL: CFP MOCK SELECTION The process behind determining which team is ranked where is more extensive than you might think. It’s a series of detailed meetings with intricate data, debate comparing teams’ qualifications and following committee protocol – one that loosely includes crispy bacon. Yes, bacon.
