Lamar Jackson had his way with Florida State's defense. He racked up 362 total yards and five touchdowns to lead No. 10 Louisville's throttling of No. 2 Florida State. The Cardinals won 63-20 and look like the most dynamic team in the ACC.
No. 1 Alabama squeaked by No. 19 Ole Miss in the fourth quarter and No. 4 Michigan had to overcome a 21-7 deficit against Colorado before beating the Buffaloes. In the nightcap, No. 3 Ohio State took care of business against No. 14 Oklahoma and No. 12 Michigan State fended off a late rally from No. 18 Notre Dame to secure the win.
