This week had some upsets but no one in the Top 10 fell. Notably, ^11^ Utah, ^15^ Duke, ^18^ LSU, and ^20^ Kansas lost their match-ups. Of those, only ^11^ Utah and ^18^ LSU were favored to win. Florida was the only team ranked in the AP Poll but unranked on /c/CFB who lost their game, although they were not favored to win anyways. As for our Top 10 teams, ^1^ Texas, ^2^ Michigan, ^6^ Penn State, ^8^ Oregon, and ^10^ Oklahoma all dominated their opponents. ^5^ Washington and ^9^ USC won by one touchdown each, but these games were not as close as the final scores indicate and neither team had less than a 94% chance to win in the entire fourth quarter (according to ESPN). ^7^ Georgia was tied with less than three minutes to go in the fourth quarter before scoring the game-winning touchdown against Auburn. ^3^ Florida State and ^4^ Ohio State did not play this week. ----- | | Thursday, | September 28 | [](/c/cfb@fanaticus.social) | | -: | :-: | :- | -: | | **Tulsa** | defeated | Temple | **48**-26 | | **Western Kentucky** | defeated | Middle Tennessee | **31**-10 | | **Jacksonville State** | defeated | Sam Houston State | **35**-28 | | | Friday, | September 29 | [](/c/cfb@fanaticus.social) | | -: | :-: | :- | -: | | **^25^ Louisville** | defeated | NC State | **13**-10 | | **Louisiana Tech** | defeated | UTEP | **24**-10 | | **^23^ Oregon State** | defeated | ^11^ `Utah` | **21**-7 | | **BYU** | defeated | Cincinnati | **35**-27 | | | Saturday, | September 30 | [](/c/cfb@fanaticus.social) | | -: | :-: | :- | -: | | **Utah State** | defeated | Connecticut | **34**-33 | | **^6^ Penn State** | defeated | Northwestern | **41**-13 | | **Kentucky** | defeated | Florida | **33**-14 | | **Buffalo** | defeated | Akron | **13**-10 | | **Clemson** | defeated | Syracuse | **31**-14 | | **Minnesota** | defeated | Louisiana | **35**-24 | | **James Madison** | defeated | South Alabama | **31**-23 | | **^9^ USC** | defeated | Colorado | **48**-41 | | **^22^ Texas A&M** | defeated | Arkansas | **34**-22 | | **Tulane** | defeated | UAB | **35**-23 | | **Central Michigan** | defeated | Eastern Michigan | **26**-23 | | **Boston College** | defeated | Virginia | **27**-24 | | **Miami (OH)** | defeated | Kent State | **23**-3 | | **California** | defeated | Arizona State | **24**-21 | | **Baylor** | defeated | UCF | **36**-35 | | **^7^ Georgia** | defeated | Auburn | **27**-20 | | **Western Michigan** | defeated | Ball State | **42**-24 | | **Toledo** | defeated | Northern Illinois | **35**-33 | | **Bowling Green** | defeated | Georgia Tech | **38**-27 | | **^1^ Texas** | defeated | ^20^ `Kansas` | **40**-14 | | **^2^ Michigan** | defeated | Nebraska | **45**-7 | | **Maryland** | defeated | Indiana | **44**-17 | | **Purdue** | defeated | Illinois | **44**-19 | | **South Florida** | defeated | Navy | **44**-30 | | **Marshall** | defeated | Old Dominion | **41**-35 | | **Arkansas State** | defeated | UMass | **52**-28 | | **Texas Tech** | defeated | Houston | **49**-28 | | **Rutgers** | defeated | *Wagner* | **52**-3 | | **UNLV** | defeated | Hawai'i | **44**-20 | | **Wyoming** | defeated | New Mexico | **35**-26 | | **Memphis** | defeated | Boise State | **35**-32 | | **^24^ Missouri** | defeated | Vanderbilt | **38**-21 | | **^19^ Ole Miss** | defeated | ^18^ `LSU` | **55**-49 | | **^8^ Oregon** | defeated | Stanford | **42**-6 | | **^10^ Oklahoma** | defeated | Iowa State | **50**-20 | | **Troy** | defeated | Georgia State | **28**-7 | | **Colorado State** | defeated | *Utah Tech* | **41**-20 | | **Texas State** | defeated | Southern Mississippi | **50**-36 | | **Georgia Southern** | defeated | Coastal Carolina | **38**-28 | | **Rice** | defeated | East Carolina | **24**-17 | | **North Texas** | defeated | *Abilene Christian* | **45**-31 | | **SMU** | defeated | Charlotte | **34**-16 | | **^21^ Tennessee** | defeated | South Carolina | **41**-20 | | **^14^ Notre Dame** | defeated | ^15^ `Duke` | **21**-14 | | **Iowa** | defeated | Michigan State | **26**-16 | | **Virginia Tech** | defeated | Pittsburgh | **38**-21 | | **Appalachian State** | defeated | Louisiana Monroe | **41**-40 | | **Air Force** | defeated | San Diego State | **49**-10 | | **West Virginia** | defeated | TCU | **24**-21 | | **^12^ Alabama** | defeated | Mississippi State | **40**-17 | | **^5^ Washington** | defeated | Arizona | **31**-24 | | **Fresno State** | defeated | Nevada | **27**-9 |

We had conference games, upsets and teams too scared to even take the field this week. Hopefully we can make sense of it all

For Gators fans, this one stung, but IMHO the standard remains the same. Bowl eligible, show some life against UGA and FSU, and hold the class together. I'd say the seat is warming a bit because of the *confusing* way things are going makes me less confident in predicting anything, much less improvement. Still, between buyouts, not wanting a booster-crazed, quick-trigger program culture, and the fact that the Rashada thing didn't (seem to) completely tank our long-term recruiting, I think Billy at least gets to sink his teeth into season 3. If Florida isn't passing a "this is an 8-4 or 9-3 type of team" eye test after the WLOCP next year, I won't stick up for him anymore.

The Mountaineeers' Trey Lathan and Aubrey Burks, who were taken to a hospital during Saturday's win vs. TCU, will fly back to West Virginia on Tuesday.

The only story I'm following at the moment. Boy do I hope he recovers swiftly and smoothly.
