From impressive performances to unusual incidents, the week provided plenty of excitement on the gridiron.

One standout moment occurred as Marvin Harrison Jr., the talented Buckeye receiver, bid farewell to Ohio Stadium. As he left the field for the final time in his Buckeye career, Harrison Jr. turned around, giving fans one last glimpse of his extraordinary talent.

Another highlight came from the Washington Huskies, who defied expectations by emerging unscathed from a challenging series of games against USC, Utah, and Oregon State. With an Apple Cup victory, they are just one step away from a potential Pac-12 championship rematch against Oregon.

In a show of the spirit of rivalry, both Washington and Washington State announced a five-year extension of the "Apple Cup" matchup, which thrilled fans of the sport. Similar agreements between Oregon and Oregon State may be on the horizon.

While some teams opted for easier opponents before their regular season finales, Texas A&M took an interesting approach. In the game against Abilene Christian, they fielded a kickoff team entirely comprised of walk-ons, resulting in a fumble recovery and a story the players will cherish for a lifetime.

In a stunning upset, New Mexico State, a 25-point underdog, defeated Auburn by 21 points. This victory marked the first time since 2022 that such a vast underdog had won by such a large margin. Not only did New Mexico State dominate the game, but they also threw opponents around WWE-style, showcasing their dominance.

Wacky moments also unfolded during Week 12. In the Florida versus Missouri game, the ending took an extraordinary turn. Missouri appeared to have secured a win with a go-ahead field goal in the final seconds. However, the Gators dropped a desperation pass, causing confusion as the clock hit zero. After further review, one second remained, and the teams had to return to the field for one final play.

Meanwhile, Iowa fans witnessed an unusual victory as their team clinched a Big Ten West championship with a 15-13 win. The game included offensive touchdowns, a missed PAT, and a safety, making it an odd yet memorable contest for Hawkeye supporters.

The week also saw bizarre turnovers, including a Colorado quarterback throwing a pass to himself, only to be intercepted. Furthermore, an interception by the Indiana Hoosiers quickly turned into a fumble recovered by Michigan State on the same play, leading to confusion on the field.

College football fans also experienced heart-stopping moments as games came down to the wire. The Florida State versus North Alabama matchup provided a nail-biting ending, with the outcome greatly impacting bettors depending on the point spread.

As the regular season approaches its climax, teams are eagerly vying for coveted spots in the College Football Playoff. Notable contenders include Ohio State, Michigan, Florida State, Georgia, and Washington, among others.

Looking ahead, the Game of the Week features No. 15 Oregon State taking on No. 6 Oregon in the Civil War matchup. With Oregon in the hunt for a CFP spot and Oregon State seeking to prove their mettle against their in-state rivals, the game promises excitement for football enthusiasts.

Week 12 of college football certainly delivered on both the fun and wacky fronts, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the upcoming explosive moments that the final weeks of the season will likely bring.
