The playoff hopes of both the ACC and the Pac-12 pretty much collapsed with losses by the top teams in those two conferences--Florida State and Utah, respectively. While there is now much more clarity in the ratings from 2-3 weeks ago, there is no dominant team this year and a lot more parity in college football.
With their schedule, it did not look like Memphis could advance much farther, but with Mississippi's resounding win over Texas A&M, the Tigers' win over the Rebels looks more and more impressive.
