It feels like I’m beating a dead horse but here goes anyway.
Top 25 teams every week run into quicksand or fall off cliffs.
#7 Penn State lost to Illinois in NINE overtimes, 20-18.
#8 Oklahoma State lost to 4-2 Iowa State, 24-21.
#18 North Carolina State lost to 3-3 Miami, 31-30.
#14 Coastal Carolina lost 30-27 to the Mountaineers (of Appalachian State), 30-27.
#2 Cincinnati, #10 Oregon and #22 San Diego State won by 7 or fewer points.
Hell, even #3 Oklahoma was frightened by Kansas for 3 quarters and nobody in the Power-5 conferences loses to Kansas.
