OK, so it wasn't the most ridiculous Rivalry Week we've ever seen. Thirteen of the top 14 teams in the College Football Playoff rankings won, and the one that didn't (Texas A &M) was already guaranteed a CFP spot. Chalk has reigned over the past couple of weeks, but as with pizza among other things, Rivalry Week is great even when it's not great.

We still got a dramatic Iron Bowl, we still got one last silly plot twist in the ACC title race (the silliest yet, perhaps), we still got all the intense environments we could possibly want -- plus some snow! -- and we still got an all-time comeback in the smaller-school ranks.

(We also got whatever continued to go down in Oxford, Mississippi, which wasn't even slightly enjoyable but certainly created buzz.)
