We have a couple of Top 25 teams who ate other Top 25 teams this week. It happens. Ranked on ranked crime is part of college football.
Props to those teams who, unlike the likes of No. 3 Ohio State, aren’t still getting through the cupcakes on their schedule. Another aspect of the college game, one of my favorite, is, of course, the unranked team stepping their game up to take down a ranked opponent.
Unfortunately for No. 23 Northern Illinois, who upset Notre Dame a couple of weeks ago, they’re one of the ranked teams to lose one to an unranked opponent. Buffalo was in town on Saturday and they weren’t playing around. They handed the Huskies their first loss, 23-20 in overtime.
The football gods giveth and they taketh away. No. 13 Kansas State was expecting a road trip to Utah to take on unranked BYU to end with their fourth win. Not only didn’t it, but the Wildcats didn’t even reach the end zone in a 38-9 blowout loss.
