Six AP Top 25 teams can testify what a pain in the butt road games are—all were upset during college football's 13th week of play, and 2 of the 6 will be facing off in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game this week.
The six teams with targets on their back included 7th-ranked Georgia Tech, 15th-ranked Clemson, 8th-ranked Pittsburgh, 11th-ranked Oklahoma State, 20th-ranked Mississippi and 23rd-ranked North Carolina. All b ... Tags:college football, Top 25, Alabama, Florida, Texas, TCU, Cincinnati, Boise State, Oregon, Oregon State,
In a great example of too little too late, there were 4 upsets of AP Top 25 teams in college football's 12th week and none of them had any real impact. On the other hand, two favorites won big time road games with big implications as Ohio State buried Michigan 21-10, and Oregon held off a very pesky Arizona team, 44-41.
Unbeaten Iowa suffered the biggest loss as one of six AP Top 25 teams to be upset during college football's 9th week of competition. The others were Oregon, Penn State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and California.
The 8th-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes (now 9-1) had their 13-game winning streak—second longest in the nation—come to a crashing halt at home after losing their quarterback Ricky Stanzi to a second-quarter ankle injury as an upstart ...

There was only one real upset in college football's 8th week of play as 12 of the 20 top-ranked teams put on their muscle shirts and showed what they have, a sure sign that teams have begun to stabilize for their last 4 games.
Only 21st-ranked Texas Tech was caught flat-footed at home by unranked Texas A&M, 52-30. The Red Raiders (now 5-3) were favored by 22 and lost by 22, a 44-point negative swing that sent Texas Tech reeling. The Texas ...

Just when you thought some sense of stability might have returned to college football during the halfway point of the season, any semblance belies the truth that at least four more teams have become frauds in the national title chase—Kansas, Ohio State, Virginia Tech and Nebraska.
Kansas had raced to a perfect 5-0 start. Virginia Tech lost its opener, Ohio State lost its second game, and Nebraska lost its third game. All three had l ... Tags:college, football, top 25, BCS, Alabama, Florida, Texas, Cincinnati, Iowa, TCU
(Editor's Note: This is Part 2 of a story about the life of a college football team's season in only two games—one was an abject heartache, and the other an extreme joy. The team was the University of Washington this season, and the events that unfolded brought to mind Charles Dickens' novel "A Tale of Two Cities". Here is what really happened, and when.)
This is a story about the life of a college football team's season in only two games—one was an abject heartache, and the other an extreme joy. The team was the University of Washington this season.
Charles Dickens penned this famous line in his novel "A Tale of Two Cities"—"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times . . .," and the Husky football players experienced these two events in reverse order.
Only 13 among the 120 major teams remain undefeated after the 5th week of a 16-week college football season. They are Florida, Texas, Alabama, LSU, Boise State, Cincinnati, TCU, Iowa, Kansas, Auburn, South Florida, Missouri and Wisconsin.
On the flip side, only 7 teams have yet to win a game--Rice, New Mexico, Eastern Michigan, Florida International University, Florida Atlantic, Western Kentucky and Miami (OH).
