College Football Rankings: Texas, Wake Forest Jumped As LSU, USC Fell After Week 11
Key Points:
- LSU coach Lane Kiffin is widely regarded as the biggest disappointment in college football, with LSU unlikely to make the College Football Playoff despite his $13 million salary and the team's richest roster.
- LSU's recent loss to Texas and a 3-4 SEC record have effectively ended their playoff hopes, marking a severe underperformance given expectations.
- Several teams experienced travel disruptions due to FAA flight groundings, notably postponing the Ole Miss vs. Oklahoma game to Sunday, impacting rankings and schedules.
- Key team updates include Utah and UCLA remaining undefeated with strong playoff prospects, while teams like Houston, Missouri, and LSU have suffered significant losses diminishing their postseason chances.
- Notable individual performances include Liberty's strong yards per play differential, Noah Fifita’s high passing stats for Kansas State, and standout quarterback plays from teams like BYU, Florida, and Notre Dame.
