Times are a changin’ in college football.
For the first time since the advent of the AP poll in 1936, seven BIG 10 teams lost non-conference games to unranked opponents. The College Football Pool was a victim of the aftermath.
The biggest loser – Wisconsin. The Badgers lost at home to BYU, essentially ending any hopes at a playoff appearance AND putting up -6 in a double game loss in the pool. ASU did NOT play to win the game vs. the Aztecs and South Carolina didn’t play at all, but remained in the lineup. It all adds up to 12 whopping points and accomplishing what a week ago seemed impossible. Overtaking last place in the pool. Plummeting from 4th place to 8th…
Gob.
So, for at least a week, he climbs out of the cellar. Arkansas loses (again) and late-add Baylor falls to Duke. He goes 4-2, scoring 37 points, upgrading from a dingbat.
A couple 6-0 records this week for Ringo and Skunk. Ringo gets a nice 18 point win out of BC in his double game and wins the week with 52 points jumping back to first place. Likewise, the Dawgs get 18 for Skunk, he moves into 4th.
5-1 for Mike Lynn, Negatron and George. Mike Lynn gets a pool-leading 20 from Bama and moves into 2nd. Northwestern and Nebraska were the Big10 teams that dinged Negatron and George.
PJ falls to 3rd. His LSU team beat his Auburn for a intrasquad -3 home loss and GaTech continues to befuddle him. Ohio State did get a double win over ranked TCU but lost the spread by the dreaded ½ point.
