It’s Rivalry Week and things got big early.

UCLA was moving toward a possible spot in the playoffs, but Stanford derailed those hopes.

On Saturday, Mississippi State — fourth in the playoff rankings entering the day — lost to rival Ole Miss. Ohio State beat Michigan early in the day, but lost star QB J.T. Barrett for the season with a fractured ankle.

To top off the night, Alabama outlasted Auburn in the Iron Bowl in a game that totaled 99 points and more than 1,000 total yards.
