As the season winds down to its final few weeks, everybody (except Alabama fans) is up in arms for some reason or another, let’s ask some questions:

• Is there reason for Ohio State, who suddenly has more momentum, to worry about a Michigan State team in East Lansing that’s fresh off of a *a* Big Ten win?

• Can Oklahoma State survive another close call, this time against a continually improving TCU in Fort Worth?

• Where can LSU exploit Florida in this emotional make-up game from earlier in the season?

• Can Colorado hang with Wazzu’s offense, or really, can Wazzu make inroads against a very good Buff defense?

• Where might West Virginia be able to exploit the offensive juggernaut that is Oklahoma, especially now that the Sooners have a healthy-isa backfield?

• Is there anything UCLA can do on offense to hang with their crosstown rival USC and the suddenly red-hot Sam Darnold?

... and much more!
