Playoff Pretenders, Coaching Contenders: BYU Falls, Oregon Survives, and Alabama Sleepwalks to November

Six Top-25 teams go down, the ACC collapses, and Brien and AV sort through the Week 11 wreckage — from BYU's stumble in Lubbock to Alabama's half-hearted win in Baton Rouge. The playoff field's shrinking, the coaching carousel's spinning, and streaming still sucks. What's inside: Playoff Picture: ACC's out, Big 12 still has hope if BYU and Texas Tech meet again in Arlington. BYU–Texas Tech: Red Raiders roll 29–7 behind relentless defense and a freshman QB who finally looked mortal. Oregon–Iowa: Ugly, cold, classic Big Ten brawl — Ducks win on grit, not flash. Bama–LSU: Sloppy penalties, stalled offenses, and an Alabama team that looked bored doing business. Game Balls: Texas Tech DC Shiel Wood masterminds a clinic; Jacob Rodriguez adds another forced fumble; SEC QBs Chambliss and Pavia light it up. I've Got Questions: Manny Diaz's defense disappears, and Curt Cignetti's Hoosiers look unprepared when it counts.
