Top 25 Facts
Miami had gone from a team in the Top-10 to one that could fall out of the Top 25. The Hurricanes lost their second consecutive game at home against North Carolina 20-13. The Tar Heels did not play like a team that had been routed 34-3 last week.
Clemson almost saw its hopes of a national title wiped out but can thank the field goal kicker for North Carolina State.
With the game tied at 17, the Wolfpack’s kicker pushed his 33-yard attempt wide right sending the game to overtime, where Clemson scored and then intercepted a NCS pass in the end zone to end the game.
Clemson has not been good to bettors falling to 4-3 ATS, while the Wolfpack is now 5-1 ATS.
On Saturday, the miraculous finishes and comebacks for Tennessee were brought to a halt by No. 1 ranked Alabama.
The Crimson Tide rolled to a 49-10 victory improving to 5-2 ATS with two straight covers on the road. Alabama’s three road games have all cashed OVER.
Ohio State faced a tough test on the road in Wisconsin. The Buckeyes were down by 10 at the half, but were able to send the game into overtime and then won 30-23. Ohio State opened the season 4-0 ATS, but has now not covered in two straight.
Nebraska’s wins might not be described as being pretty but a win is a win and the Cornhuskers remain unbeaten. Nebraska traveled to Indiana and pulled out a hard fought 27-22 win. The Huskers sit 6-0 SU while 4-1-1 ATS, which includes a road record of 2-0 SU and ATS.
