College football is just rolling along and Week 8 came and went in the blink of an eye.

But not without some upsets, great matchups, and crazy finishes.

The biggest matchup of the early slate was Syracuse and Clemson and the Orange have actually had the Tigers’ number over the years. That didn’t change on Saturday afternoon. The Orange put all the pressure on Clemson early on and even took a 21-7 lead right before halftime. Clemson stormed back to take a 24-21 lead in the fourth quarter and it was destined for a photo finish.

Ohio State also had a scare against Iowa — for a quarter. The Buckeyes were down 7-3 early but ended up winning by 44 points and the Buckeyes have a legit argument to be No. 1 this week.

The afternoon slate saw Oklahoma State “upset” Texas at home and move one step closer to the Big 12 title. This was a huge win for the Cowboys because they were underdogs and no one really expected them to pull off the win over a red-hot Texas team.

The night slate was capped off by a ranked matchup between TCU and Kansas State that lived up to all the hype.

What will the top 25 look like after yet another wild week of action?
