The past weekend in college football saw a number of teams step up and notch some big wins. On Monday, ESPN college football expert Kirk Herbstreit recognized those teams for their efforts.

Whether it was a top team asserting its dominance or an underdog surprising a contender, there were a number of games that caught Herbstreit’s eye. A couple days after the dust settled, Herbstreit went on Twitter to highlight the teams that were at the top of their game over the weekend.

Let’s take a look at Herbstreit’s top performing teams from last week.

Ranked No. 8 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings, Northwestern had eyes on a potential run at a national championship. However, the Spartans had other ideas. Michigan State jumped out to a 17-0 lead over the Wildcats and managed to hang on from there for a 29-20 win. The Spartans dashed Northwestern’s playoff hopes, and they got another signature win in Mel Tucker’s first season as the head coach of the program.
