The top 15 got a shake-up this week with five teams losing to lesser-ranked or unranked teams. None were all that surprising, but it still made for a good weekend of football.
Ohio State's win in Happy Valley gives it the best strength of record through five weeks, while Notre Dame significantly increased its playoff odds with a big win over Stanford.
Louisiana State got another win over an AP Top-25 team thanks to a last-second field goal over Auburn, but the predictive stats still don't really love the Tigers. Also, despite a great day for Ohio State, the Big Ten's slow start to the 2018 season continues.
Week 2 looked just OK on paper, but delivered with an awesome Clemson-Texas A&M game as well as upsets by Arizona State, Colorado State, Eastern Michigan, and East Carolina. Oh, and Georgia probably locked up the SEC East in its big win over South Carolina.
Week 1 was a little more muted than normal, with Auburn-Washington and LSU-Miami both featuring plenty of field goals. The story of the week might be the Big Ten East's underwhelming start.

Replacing starter Jalen Hurts, Alabama quarterback Tua Tagavailoa threw a 41-yard walk-off touchdown pass to fellow freshman DeVonta Smith on second-and-26 in overtime for yet another Alabama championship.

The largest comeback in Rose Bowl history propels the Bulldogs to the national championship, while Alabama's dominating defense compensated for a mediocre offensive performance in the Sugar Bowl.

While Clemson, Georgia, and Oklahoma clinched conference championships and playoff berths, Alabama just sat back waited to hear the Selection Committee put them into the four-team field.
