Best of Week 11: Honoring Barry Sanders and Lamar Jackson, kicker celebrations and more

NCAAF

Week 11 has arrived, but you know what we’re really excited about this weekend? Lamar Jackson’s jersey retirement, that’s what. Oh, and the actual games of course, including Oklahoma-Baylor, Texas A&M-Ole Miss and NC State-Wake Forest. Could we see a few upsets? We’ll have to wait and see.

Come back here throughout the day for the latest results, reaction and revelry from throughout the land.

Oklahoma ranks only eighth in the CFP rankings, but ESPN’s FPI still gives the Sooners a 59% chance of reaching the playoff, the third-best odds overall. There are three main reasons for that.

1. Carnage will unfold above them. At most, one of the three one-loss Big Ten East teams above OU will reach the finish line with one loss. Plus, if No. 1 Georgia and No. 2 Alabama win out, they would play each other in Atlanta in three weeks. That will give the Sooners plenty of chances to rise.

If you’re not listening to Taylor Swift and watching college football, then what else are you doing?
