The expanded College Football Playoff turned it into a tempest with postseason implications from the home of the Super Bowl champion Chiefs in Kansas City to the House that Ruth Built in the Bronx. Ohio State improved to 2-1 in top-five matchups and showed everybody’s favorite upstart — at least everybody outside of SEC country — what life is like at the top of the food chain.

The Kansas State football team will have something meaningful to play for in its final game of the regular season next weekend at Iowa State. A trip to the Big 12 championship could be on the line. K-State stayed alive in the race for a Big 12 title by defeating Cincinnati 41-15 on Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
