It was a rivalry week to remember.
The 2023 college football regular season has officially come to a close.
Feels weird to say, right? With the playoff expanding next season, this felt like the end of an era. Well, it was an era that went out with a bang — and rivalry week was no exception. From iconic game-winning moments to gut-wrenching defeats, the final week of the regular season had it all.
THE GAME BRINGS THE DRAMA
Ryan Day, what happened? A game with rivalry, Big Ten, playoff, and national championship implications on the line came down to the absolute wire. In the end, Michigan emerged victorious for the third season in a row and now has a date with Iowa in Indianapolis.

There’s just something poetic about Urban going 7-0 vs Michigan as a coach, and then having to just sit there and watch his castle crumble year after year in person pic.twitter.com/8Bwzpj5EKc

ALABAMA WINS ON THE MILROE MIRACLE
In one of the most improbable endings to a game you will ever see, Alabama (and the Iron Bowl) delivered on 4th and 31. Jalen Milroe’s miracle pass will go down alongside the Kick Six as one of the most iconic plays in this rivalry’s history, and the Crimson Tide’s 27-24 win kept its playoff hopes alive.

WASHINGTON STAYS ALIVE
Washington is once again beating the Pac-12 cannibalization allegations. On a field goal as time expired, the Huskies outlasted their rival Cougars and now have a rematch with Oregon in the Pac-12 title game. Michael Penix Jr. continues to make his case for the Heisman Trophy, and this 24-21 win over Washington State is just another feather in his cap.
Washington kicker Grady Gross hit the game-winning field goal to beat Washington State tonight.

For those concerned that the Washington Huskies aren’t passing the “eye test” keep in mind that they just completed a grueling potion of their Pac-12 schedule (the toughest conference in CF)

NO TRAVIS, NO PROBLEM
Despite losing their Heisman candidate quarterback Jordan Travis, the Florida State Seminoles delivered an electric win in the Swamp. The Noles took down their rival Gators 24-15 and are still undefeated. Now, they are a win over Louisville in the ACC Championship away from a College Football Playoff berth.
Taking that sod back to Tallahassee!

FAREWELL, BIG TEN WEST
While many of you were likely enjoying family time or some Thanksgiving leftovers, dozens of us were watching the Big Ten West’s curtain call. This game had the lowest over/under in college football history, and the under still hit. This beautiful brand of football will now go without a home as the Big Ten West will dissolve during the offseason. Still, the memories of the punts, fumbles, and blocked kicks will still remain.

iowa is the most important team in college football
— Ryan Nanni (@celebrityhottub) November 24, 2023
That is Nebraska’s 30th loss by a TD or less since 2018. That is 8 more than any other team in the country. Huskers are 8-30 in one-possession games in that span, and just 3-18 in the last 3 seasons.

EVERYONE ON SATURDAY: ugh, watching Iowa football is gross
— Ivan Bologna (@PV_GIA) November 27, 2023
EVERYONE ON SUNDAY: I can't wait to spend 10 hours watching 30 teams all play like Iowa!
CBS continues to show the "Punt" shirt guys (after all, Iowa-Nebraska is producing a whole lot of punts), and Tom McCarthy and Ross Tucker continue to love it.
