Welcome back to our weekly illustrated guide during the college football season to four games that had an impact on the playoff race.
No. 13 LSU 45, No. 18 Auburn 21
LSU running back Leonard Fournette sent Auburn defenders flying and finished with a career-high 228 yards and three TDs on 19 carries. "It was fun," Fournette said of running over defenders. "I did it in high school, now it's in college."
No. 1 Ohio State 20, Northern Illinois 13
The Huskies intercepted three passes from Cardale Jones and J.T. Barrett and left the defending national champs looking a little ... exposed?
Stanford 41, No. 6 USC 31
The Trojans failed to fell the Cardinal, dropping another memorable matchup in the rivalry's recent history, their sixth loss in the last nine games against Stanford.
No. 15 Ole Miss 43, No. 2 Alabama 37
Ole Miss finally broke through in Alabama, where they were previously 1-35-1 in games against the Tide. The Rebels also won a second straight game against Alabama for the first time in school history.
