You didn’t really think that Nick Saban was going to just fall in line with the others, did you?
You didn’t think that being confronted with a 24-17 fourth-quarter deficit, mounting injuries and clanging cowbells in a hostile atmosphere would shake the very foundation of Saban and his unnaturally steady Crimson Tide? Absolutely not.
The Big Ten, which is hanging on by a tattered thread in the playoff race, bellowed a major sigh of relief when No. 8 Wisconsin overcame two pick-sixes to thrash all-of-a-sudden exciting No. 20 Iowa, 38-14. Wisconsin is 10-0 for the first time in school history and has clinched a spot in the Big Ten championship game.
A week ago, it appeared that things had somewhat fallen into place for the selection committee. Georgia and Alabama were expected to cruise into their cataclysmic collision in the SEC championship game with two playoff spots on the line. Notre Dame was going to end the Canes’ fairy-tale run and the Big Ten was a dead conference walking.
Ohio State, which could still play for the Big Ten title. Believe it or not, Auburn, which has two losses, is still in playoff contention. According to FiveThirtyEight, the Tigers entered the week with a 9 percent chance to reach the CFP. Now, if the Tigers win out — which would include wins against Alabama and a second win against Georgia in the SEC championship — they are projected to have a 91 percent chance to make the playoff.
Saturday provided the kind of overarching drama that would make your average telenovela look like C-SPAN. It also gave us a glimpse of what an expanded playoff looks like. While the seedings were a little off, all you college football enthusiasts clamoring for more playoff teams basically got a glimpse of what an early round might look like. Notre Dame is likely eliminated, as is TCU, and Washington, whose narrow hopes were dashed after losing to Stanford on Friday. The Canes are trending up and Georgia’s treading water with trembling legs.
As we close in on the end of the regular season, the playoff doorway we thought was only cracked open a week ago has been kicked open, thanks to historic flops from two of the season’s top teams.

Air traffic controller arrested for possessing pipe bomb
Police say they arrested the air traffic controller for transporting and acquiring a weapon of mass destruction.
A North Carolina air traffic controller with access to a control tower was arrested Friday for possessing, transporting and acquiring a weapon of mass destruction, police said.
Paul George Dandan, 30, was booked along with his roommate, Derrick Fells, in Charlotte, local reports said.
The arrests arose out of an investigation into a Nov. 3 call to police concerning an individual with an explosive, according to WCNC in Charlotte.
Police said that Fells admitted building a pipe bomb to use against a neighbor, but later decided to give the explosive device to Dandan instead, WCNC and other local outlets reported.
The Federal Aviation Administration immediately fired Dandan after his arrest and revoked his access to Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
Authorities at the airport stressed that Dandan only had access to an offsite air traffic control tower.
“The FAA employee only had access to the offsite Air Traffic Control Tower and had no access to the restricted areas of the terminal or ramp,” the Charlotte Douglas Airport said in a statement. “He did not have access to any aircraft at the Airport.”
Dandan is being held at a county jail on $45,000 bond, according to the Mecklenberg County Sheriff’s Office.
The FBI is assisting local police with the investigation but said federal charges aren’t expected at the moment.
Dandan was charged with possession of a weapon of mass destruction, acquiring a weapon of mass destruction and transporting a weapon of mass destruction, according to a press release.
Fells was charged with three counts of manufacturing a weapon of mass destruction and one count of possession of a weapon of mass destruction.
