It was a rather chalky week in college football leading into Thanksgiving, with three of the nation’s top-10 teams on a bye and the other seven taking care of business ahead of rivalry weekend.
That doesn’t mean there wasn’t anything to write home about, however.
Across the NCAA on Saturday, we saw Texas QB Arch Manning account for six touchdowns—four passing, one rushing, one receiving—in a win over Arkansas, Oregon beat fellow West Coast Big Ten member USC by two scores—causing Trojans coach Lincoln Riley to rip a reporter for asking the "dumbest question" he's ever been asked at a postgame press conference—and Notre Dame beat up on Syracuse 70–7 behind a dominant performance from Heisman candidate Jeremiyah Love.
And just like that, we’re onto Week 13. Here’s a look at the AP’s latest Top 25 poll as we head into arguably the best weekend of the year.
