The college football season is nearing an end, but there’s still so much left to be determined.
The Pac-12 Conference joins the fray this week with at least two of its Top 25 teams playing Saturday. The Mid-American Conference returned Wednesday night as well. The Big Ten Conference will return for its third week of games, though Wisconsin is not playing again due to the coronavirus.
Seven games in all have been postponed because of the coronavirus.
The biggest matchup of the week is between No. 1 Clemson, who barely beat Boston College without star quarterback Trevor Lawrence last week, and No. 4 Notre Dame, who is hoping it can pick up a huge victory at the most opportune moment.
The Tigers will still be without Lawrence as he recovers from the coronavirus.
Here’s what else is going on in college football this week.
