The final regular-season weekend of the FBS season produced drama both on and off the field, at the top and at the bottom.
In the US LBM Coaches Poll released Sunday, the biggest story came with Texas A&M's drop from No. 3 to No. 7. The Aggies fell out of the top five after dropping their game of the season Friday against rival Texas. The Longhorns, even with the win, moved up just two spots to No. 14. That still makes Texas the highest-ranked three-loss team in the poll, ahead of six other Top-25 teams with two losses or fewer.

Georgia and Alabama will play in the Southeastern Conference title game. Texas Tech gets No. 11 Brigham Young in the Big 12 Championship. And in the headliner, Ohio State plays Indiana for the Big Ten crown.
Arizona and Navy entered the poll in place of Pittsburgh and Southern Methodist, which both lost. The Wildcats checked in at No. 22 while the Midshipmen were ranked No. 25.
