College Football Week 10 Recap

Because of the recent missed posts, I will give a quick recap of the last two weeks.  Second-ranked Penn State lost to number six Ohio State 39-38.  Penn State was up 35-20 going into the fourth quarter and blew the lead because of J.T. Barrett's great performance.  This performance put Barrett into the Heisman race.  Notre Dame then killed NC State.  This was the most surprising win that Notre Dame has had this season.  The Fighting Irish beat NC State 35-14.  Josh Adams had another great week and proved himself further to critics.  This week, seventh-ranked Penn State lost to number 24 Michigan State 27-24 on a game-winning field goal by the Spartans' kicker.  Michigan State looked like Alabama with how well they played.  I was surprised to see them play that well after last year's blowout.  Third-ranked Notre Dame beat unranked Wake Forest 48-37.  This score makes it look like it was a close game but the Irish were dominant in this game putting up 710 yards on offense.  Josh Adams had a minor injury and because the Irish were winning, Brian Kelly just kept Josh Adams out.  Brandon Wimbush also had a minor injury but he came back in.  However, Ian Book finished the game and played very well.  My updated rankings are as follows:

1. Alabama
2. Georgia
3. Notre Dame
4. Oklahoma
5. Clemson
