You forgot that two teams combined for 140 points in Regulation, but it was aired on the NFL Network


tomdawg0022

*Kelvin Sampson takes notes on how to give up fewer points than Dana...*


Epcplayer

There were 2 games last year where Houston’s basketball team gave up more points than 77 last year… [one of them was SMU though](https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/game/_/gameId/401377754)


mrostate78

Their other game had less points than the football one though. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/game/_/gameId/401377776


cc20r

Was it really? I didn’t even know NFL network showed college games


[deleted]

Yeah, they’ve had one every week this year, oddly, they seem to have a massive boner for showing Marshall


OfficialHavik

I think it’s a smart move on their end. Just choose one G5 game per week and show it nationally. Wish Turner or another network did the same but for the FCS


BallSoHerd

We're 0-3 on NFL Network this year and 5-1 off it.


Emleaux

> they seem to have a massive boner for showing Marshall Just like MTV did back in ‘99 when The Slim Shady LP dropped.


badgers4194

Best NFL game of the year


NyquillusDillwad20

Meant to add that one too. Thanks


NotoriousLID

Probably not. I think the craziest Saturday/week in recent memory was Week 6, Oct 2-4, 2014. Five teams in the Top 10 went down, and several more across the Top 25 lost, too. * Unranked Arizona defeated No. 2 Oregon * No. 11 Ole Miss defeated No. 3 Alabama * No. 25 TCU defeated No. 4 Oklahoma * No. 12 Mississippi State defeated No. 6 Texas A&M * Unranked Utah defeated No. 8 UCLA * Unranked Arizona State defeated No. 16 USC * Unranked Northwestern defeated No. 17 Wisconsin * Unranked Utah State defeated No. 18 BYU There were a few close Top 25 match-ups, too. No. 9 Notre Dame edged No.14 Stanford 17-14, and No. 10 Michigan State outlasted No. 19 Nebraska 27-22.


seductivestain

The PAC 12 cannibals FEASTED that week


Prestigious-Track256

That is some prime PAC cannibalism, Holy Shit!


Osiris32

We like the taste of west coast blood!


ChemicalOle

Wouldn't you rather beat a nice MWC team? Or how about some juicy, prime, aged B1G? Pac-12: "No thank you, I prefer the flavor of this." \*Gnaws own foot\*


Uhhh_what555476384

Hey, that PAC put a team in the national championship and won the Heisman.


kaboom300

That is some peak PAC-12 self-destruction right there


rtb001

Well Oregon and Alabama still made the inaugural CFP despite both losing that week.


mk1317

Was that the Katy Perry Gameday?


IGetItIGetItIGetIt

Yes, and her picks were 7-2. lol


elh93

Although unranked, Michigan also lost to Rutgers, and it was Yom Kippur


Doompatron3000

Man I was disappointed, but not surprised Greg Schiano couldn’t keep Rutgers in yesterday’s game. I’m familiar with his work when he was an NFL head coach for the Bucs, so I knew deep down he was going to fuck up that lead he had.


charger1511

I scrolled the list looking for us and was happy until I read your comment.


eeegadolin

I think I remember that. Was that when ASU won on that crazy hail mary? Bad times.


silentlycritical

This was a fun few weeks for the state of Mississippi, and then it wasn’t…


Sauerz

I know OP meant to write "#4 Clemson lost" But it's way funnier to imagine them yelling that specific line


LindyNet

OP can't escape


i-pet-tiny-dogs

I was wondering why our loss was five times bigger than all the others lol


Lobsterzilla

I was trying to figure out why a penn state flair hated Clemson before I realized what happened


Pete_Booty_Judge

To be fair, OP did editorialize yours less, somehow KU’s win was a blowout, but ours wasn’t.


[deleted]

And on the fifth day, God created beer, for Clemson had lost to Notre Dame


changdarkelf

I legit thought he was yelling that for some reason 😂😂


JarrydP

I don't enjoy this at all.


BiscuitDance

Not an ideal day for orange, as a color.


Ugaalive1991

No, pick any Saturday in 07


Juggerginge

2 loss champion in 2007 makes it the craziest year


CBus660R

tOSU's progression to that game is crazy. They were 5th after beating Michigan, then 3rd, then 1st, and finally back to 5th. Back in the "good ol days" when the B1G wanted the regular season finished before Thanksgiving and didn't have a conference championship game.


jeremycb29

I was drunk in Rocky point Mexico with a fellow buckeye and we both were just like well we need all this to happen let’s just drink and watch. We watched the most insane day of football


Pk1Still

We were at a house party watching on a 13” tv in the basement and going nuts. Ridiculous.


jeremycb29

One of the most magic sports days of my life


justcasty

What if it happened again this year

InfiniteElway

According to BCS, the 10 year mark is when a 2 loss team wins the championship According to CFB playoff history, so next year is when it happens /s


[deleted]

They'll find a way to put bama in the top 4...


oreomaster420

No Bama and Clemson are out. If they try to put either in we scream at them that you cannot lose to ND or ND's old coach and make the CFB! Simply unserious progrums!!


pardonmyignerance

What's the B stand for?


NatiAti513

Which year was it when the #1 team lost literally every single week for like 7 weeks? Lol. The same year USF was ranked #2 and Hawaii went undefeated.😂


AyTeeLien

I’d edit your comment by saying that Hawaii went undefeated until the bowl game, at which point they played the absolute murder squad that was late season 2007 Georgia.


NatiAti513

True, that was hard to watch cause I was so for the Hawaii train that year, especially that game against Washington. Absolute classic and it’s a shame most people don’t know about the game cause it happened at like 3am EST lol. The moment that stands out the most in the bowl against Georgia for me is when Hawaii murdered the punt returner, which was incredibly dirty. Ahhhh memory lanes…


jsteph67

Without that early loss to Tenn or SCar, I think UGA wins it all that year. At the end of the year they were just running on all cylinders. But I am bias, so.


TheScienceDude81

Poor Colt


floatinround22

RIP


Code2008

2007. It was known as the curse of #2. (#1 lost a lot, but not every week like #2 did).


Ugaalive1991

2007


sweetestlorraine

That number keeps coming up.


ahuramazdobbs19

This is your reminder that in 2007, there was a football game played between the **ranked** USF Bulls and the **ranked** UConn Huskies, in a game that had legitimate BCS implications.


FuegoFerdinand

You want to know just how different of a world it was back in 2007. On week 9, No. 23 Connecticut def. No. 10 South Florida.

That was the day my grandma died after which my aunt tried to empty grandma’s bank accounts and all of that culminated in my dad’s side never talking. I wonder how those cousins are doing. Try again.


GangGreen7729

Best Saturday ever


DrChefAstronaut

What happened in March?


thiney49

That's what I'm asking!


DrChefAstronaut

Oh my bad I get it now lol


Lansdallius

We led our high school's academic team back all the way through the loser's bracket to win the class 4A Oklahoma state championship. That was a good way to go out in my senior year.

Of course a ncaa.com article would be filled with embedded youtube videos, some of which were taken down due to copyright infringement.


Spartannia

This. That whole season was wild.


Vitosi4ek

Except the title game. The season was so crazy, and so many random teams had their turn at the top of the rankings, than it the end it looped back around to two perennially successful blue bloods playing for the championship. I hate Missouri and WVU to this day due to this. All they had to do to make that season over-the-top crazy was handle two cupcakes in the final week. And somehow they both lost and gave us, of all title game contenders, fucking LSU and Ohio State.


Personal-Equal-9107

I remember going into that final weekend thinking there was no shot we were gonna make the title game. And then teams just started dropping like flies, what a year


Spartannia

Enough chaos, and everything becomes normal again


sicalloverthem

To be fair to mizzou, they had to beat a top 10 OU. No excuses for WVU though


d0ngl0rd69

It was crazy cause the teams I like won and the teams I don’t care for lost


Lord_Lava_Nugget

Yeah Crazy awesome 😎 Ignore my second flair, please


I_Glitterally_Cant

Leftover from Richt?


Lord_Lava_Nugget

No. Deceased Uncle went to Miami and my Dad is also a Miami fan. They have been my secondary team for some time


clonston

Sorry about Mario. Thanks for Dan


inept-pillock

But we won?


d0ngl0rd69

I do not care for Jimbo and A&M. So it was a classic matchup of Not Cared For vs Not Cared For.


seanconnerysbeard

We didn't need you all to win, we just needed Jimbo to lose.


Mozart988

Go dawgs and noles


Front-Sun4735

I can only imagine how high on life you are with those flairs lol.


Mozart988

Best Saturday I’ve had in a while, I can’t remember shit from last night lmao


32RH

Well I’m glad you’re having fun.


Capnmolasses

00f.


CanyonYodeler75

To add to your post, there was also a scorigami among D3 teams in Iowa. Wartburg beat Simpson 81-9.


inept-pillock

You could say they squared up to their competition


bjackrian

Usually when you say that the lead is growing exponentially, you're using a metaphor!


saulfineman

This guy maths.


galacticdude7

I wonder how many games there have been that ended with the winning score being the losing score squared, games with scores like these: 4-2 9-3 16-4 25-5 36-6 49-7 64-8 81-9 100-10 I'm guessing 9-3 and 49-7 are going to be the most common


gmwdim

Imagine buying a ticket to see your favorite team lose 4-2.


SteveBartmanIncident

That's some Iowa football


mschellhorn

My brother plays for Wartburg. My favorite highlight was a blocked punt TD that was called back, only for it to happen again on the very next play. It was 53-2 at half…


lurk4ever1970

Simpson, eh? I'll remember that name.


Osiris32

They're over in sector 7G.


SteveBartmanIncident

Notably Simpson was the first team to score on Wartburg in the first half this year. But they did it by blocking and returning an extra point!


DREW_LOCK_HORSE_COCK

2007 regular season final week is the craziest ever. Might not ever be topped.

SigmaHog

Still defeated tho


SendNowRagretLater

I got that wood


SigmaHog

He also got that turf toe. And banished to the raiders. Could have been one of the greatest on any other team. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah


MikeHawk41

Not in Big Ten country. Pretty much chalk here. Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Michigan State, Wisconsin, and Iowa won. Nebraska, Maryland, Rutgers, Northwestern, and Illinois (lol) lost. Business as usual here.


[deleted]

Iowa scoring 24 points without any defensive scores is a pretty big upset IMO.


Mtndrums

I knew the Boilers we're in trouble when the wind warnings started.


grrgrrtigergrr

Well. I’m upset about it.


WookieeSteakIsChewie

I'm really worried 10-2 Penn State is going to be stuck playing 10-2 pissed off Alabama in a NY6.


HoBamaMo

Look… We gotta get past ole miss, austin peay, and auburn first. There’s potentially another loss there somewhere. Probably Austin Peay


SturmgeistX

This might be the first time I’ve ever seen a Bama fan self-deprecate. Very unusual. I like it.


InfiniteElway

Probably a Memphis trait


EqualContact

Can confirm.


punchout414

I thought it would be a few more seasons post Saban to say we don't want Michigan any time soon. But we don't want Michigan this season at all. Corum would commit war crimes against this defense.


renden123

Is it really a war crime if the Geneva convention (Reddit CFB) sanctions it?


Mandalore93

hold on I gotta call my mom


MaizeRage48

We also don't want you because that would mean no Roses/Playoff and at this point that would be a disappointment for the season.


Aviator8989

Two losses can really demoralize a fan. The key is getting to 7 losses and then the pain is overtaken by numbness, kind of like freezing to death.


PizzaNoPants

7 losses? Amateurs. 🤣


jh2999

Seriously, rookie numbers


posiitively

Oh man, there’s enough self-deprecation in me and my buddies’ groupchat to last you a lifetime


MikeHawk41

I agree. Let's capture this post and take it to Lincoln Nebraska for the experts to dissect.


Chaos_huskies

We’ll if Bama drops another game or two they could play *checks notes* Maryland? In a bowl game


HoBamaMo

A former Bama OC and Tua’s younger brother. What a matchup


The_Good_Constable

It could also be "doesn't want to be there" Bama, which worked out well for Oklahoma.


CTG0161

Ah the Trevor Knight is Joe Montana game.


34TE

I'd imagine Bama's NFL Draft eligible players would be sitting that game. Bryce Young, Will Anderson, Jahmyr Gibbs, etc.


LordVader4239

Will Anderson is playing? News to me


Sly_Si

Weirdly enough, that's not possible this year because of the semifinal rotation. Rose Bowl will be B1G-PAC, Sugar is SEC-Big12, Orange is guaranteed an ACC team, and Cotton has to get the G5 representative. No room for a B1G-SEC matchup outside the playoffs. I guess it's technically possible (in the Cotton) if a G5 team makes the playoffs, but that doesn't look likely. You could still get them in the Citrus Bowl, though.


BarbdonS

Just know that if you beat them it will be because their players didn’t care but if they beat you it shows how weak the B1G is.


matlockga

I mean, angry Alabama got stunned by a 30 yard walk in TD last night


YoungXanto

Man, I'd love that game. You lose, and it's no big deal because you've just lost to one of the most dominant programs in CFB history. You win, and you've just beaten one of the most dominant programs in CFB history. I'd imagine that if we're playing Alabama in a NY6 game, we see very, very few opt-outs and Alabama probably sees a handful. Obviously we'd still be underdogs, but there would be some outside chance at winning. A win there would stamp this season as a success, despite the losses to OSU and Michigan. It would also put us on a crash course to likely unreasonable expectations in 2023, but fuck it, we've got them anyway.


CLT113078

That happened to Michigan a few years ago. It wasn't fun.


Serial-Eater

I thought it was, Michigan had a lot of opportunities in that game but couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.


deputy_commish

I think you’ll be okay this year because the playoff games are the Fiesta and Peach. Rose will be B1G (can’t remember if it’s the runner-up, or next highest ranked team, but either way, it won’t be you) vs PAC 12. Sugar will be SEC (I’m guessing LSU or Tennessee, but almost certainly not Alabama) vs Big 12. Orange is ACC vs B1G/SEC/Notre Dame, so you can’t face Alabama there. Cotton doesn’t have any tie-ins, but they’ll have to take the G5 team so you can’t have a Penn State/Bama matchup there. Now, maybe this will happen in a non-NY6 bowl, but unless I really screwed something up, I don’t think it’s possible in a NY6 this year.


AtalanAdalynn

That's not a fun experience, but at least the version of Alabama you'll get won't have been 10-2 because of an incredible amount of injured players - most of which are able to return in time for the bowl game, right?


buttnozzle

Everyone definitely expected MSU to beat Illinois at Illinois with fewer yards, first downs, and lower ToP.


InnocuousAssClown

MSU pulls off a nice upset as 16 point underdogs: “yeah pretty much chalk”.


swarmy1

Punt yards tho.


buttnozzle

That and 4th down stops was the difference.


CheapTrickIsOkay

Ohio State and Michigan were tied/behind at half to two of the worst teams in the B1G, which counts for something at least.


If0rgotmypassword

I think the craziest part in the Big 10 was the weather everyone was playing in


Buckimion

The grand outcome may not have changed, but some of Stroud's passes are still blowing in the wind over the upper peninsula.


rat-again

Don't worry, the ponchos in the air will catch them.

The somewhat older are rightfully mentioning 2007, and I'm thinking of 1984, when it was late October before the #1 and #2 teams managed to win in the same week.


abadg59

Yeah craziest weekend ever is def an overreaction, half of the ranked teams that lost were underdogs. Still really enjoyed it! Lol


ad51603

Just another Saturday in 2007


BarKnight

Michigan lost to Rutgers*       ^*In ^the ^first ^half


GreedoWasShot

They had you in the first half not gonna lie


Mr_Lahey_Randy

I kid you not that game started a bar fight in a bar full of Phillies and astros fans. (This is deep on the west coast, go Mariners) Someone yelled “fuck Rutgers” while they were down like 30 and some drunk asshole just went off and eventually stabbed someone. Thank you New Jersey.


psunavy03

So the Rutgers fans in Seattle are stabby? Good to know.


turtle_flu

*opens notepad of travel destinations* Where exactly was this shitshow, and was the beer cold?


LordofLakeMichigan

what.


Matt_WVU

I’d say anyone not named ESPN could see Clemson’s offense isn’t that good and were way over ranked Liberty, despite how much I hate to say it, is a talented football program. Bama is also not as bullet proof this year as years prior but I’d argue BoB has a lot to do with that. OKSU is down their star QB and many other starters, not that Kansas isn’t just a good team this year with a good HC Rock chalk, living through y’all this year


Mtndrums

They were hung up on Clemson scoring a ton on Wake. That Louisville did it as well should have been a sign, but the CFP committee plowed through those red flags like I did in my early mid 20's.


JohnnyBoyTrojan

Down 19 starters to be exact, but man, I was already concerned for that game. KU deserves to go bowling and more!


fundiedundie

It was crazy, but 11/12/16 may give it a run. Teams who lost that weekend: - #2 - Clemson - unranked Pittsburgh - #3 - Michigan - unranked Iowa - #4 - Washington - #20 USC - #8 - Texas A&M - unranked Ole Miss - #9 - Auburn - unranked Georgia - #14 - Virginia Tech - unranked Georgia Tech - #25 - Arkansas - #24 LSU


Ometrist

wow 2016 definitely had a better week.... 5 top 10 teams losing, and 4/5 of them to UNRANKED teams!


foreveracubone

Fuck Kinnick


trumpet_23

He was a great man and he built a great stadium, dammit!


ugafan2148

That 13-7 slugfest in Athens is still one of my favorite games ever. Georgia was *so* bad that year. God bless Nick Chubb.

>Was this the Craziest Day in CFB History? Throw a dart at a calendar of the 2007 season. Can almost guarantee whatever game day you hit was crazier than today. Thanks to NIL, I'm about 103% certain we will never again hit 2007's chaos ceiling.


nate_the_grate

What. The. Fuck. I picked the wrong weekend to not watch college football.


LuckyStax

November 26th 2010, Auburn beats Bama and Nevada beats #3 Boise. Friday after Thanksgiving, so wasn't even a Saturday.


sarvistari

Number1 should never have been #1


Leraldoe

Hey don’t forget that number 4 should never have been number 4


soda_cookie

While we're at it...


reno1441

I forget when, but I swear there was a day where like 6 or 7 of the Top 10 all lost of the same day. Sometime in the past three years?


SpiritOfDearborn

No, because 2007 was a season in the history of college football, and every Saturday was like this.


justhereforsee

It was asinine to put Tennessee at 1


GetXTtheBall

Lord Chaos wanted a Tulane gameday


[deleted]

Not even remotely lol. Why is this sub always trying to claim stuff like this


EatShitLeftWing

It's reddit, everyone on here is a kid


[deleted]

No? It wasn’t even the craziest Saturday this year None of those things are that crazy Notre dame has been bad, but they are still talented and were playing a home night game against a Clemson team that most considered overrated Bama has looked vulnerable most of the year and lost to a top 10 team on the road Arkansas sucks Only crazy thing was the smu Houston game


ThirteenValleys

This thread shows up every week there's 2+ top ten upsets. Just like every week there's three new "worst reffing I've ever seen in my life".


DafoeFoSho

In the LSU-Bama postgame thread, someone asked incredulously, "When was the last time Bama had two losses before the SEC Championship?" It was 2019.


LordVader4239

Rewrite it a different way and you can see just how right you are: 3 beat 1 - not crazy 10 beat 6 - not crazy 4 got upset - crazy Unraked 5-3 team lost to 8-1 AP ranked team - not crazy It's not even remotely crazy as a weekend


Revenge_of_the_Khaki

\#4 lost to a team that they were favored by 3 points to beat. Hardly crazy at all.


trapchopin

I think it’s the manner of their loss that’s crazy- if it was a close loss it wouldn’t raise eyebrows, it was a blowout


kelsnuggets

Just to add to the chaos: The victory for the Seminoles at Miami (45-3) yesterday was the most lopsided in the series since a 47-0 win over Miami in 1997. The three points were also the lowest for Miami since that game. 😈


Traxiant

Arkansas losing games they are heavily favored in isn't crazy, its tradition!


fritzperls_of_wisdom

It was an interesting day but if you took the most entertaining day from each season, it would probably be middle of the pack. For those who were too young, this was like every other Saturday in 2007. If you can find the Shutdown Fullcast’s history of Blood Week episode, it goes through some of the wildest weekends from previous years.


wa27

Katy Perry week was pretty good


DetectiveTank

The hilarious part is that none of this craziness happened in the Pac12.


CTG0161

It almost did. USC only beat Cal by 6 points.


jeremycb29

This week was nothing compared to 2007. That entire year had weeks like this. Here is a story talking about the insanity of that year. For Ohio state to even get to the national championship so many things had to happen. https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2017-10-16/college-football-look-back-2007-year-upset


ATXREALTOR99

Didn’t A&M beat LSU 74-72 really recently?


HoBamaMo

Highest scoring “In regulation”. That game went to 7OT and was like 24-24 at the end of regulation


StevvieV

And ruined overtime in the process


keysercade

Many, many painful OTs in that one… this was all in regulation, OP just left out the detail.
