Saturday marked perhaps the craziest week of college football yet. Though it didn’t result in an insane number of upsets, teams that were expected to win by significant margins managed to simply eke out wins, some in dramatic fashion.
Michigan football was one of those, scraping by Illinois. Ohio State was in a shockingly close game at Maryland. Georgia won by just 10 over Kentucky, TCU won at the last moment over Baylor, and USC and UCLA found themselves in a shootout.
Then there were the upsets.
Oklahoma pulverized Oklahoma State. Tennessee succumbed to an oddly potent South Carolina. North Carolina suffered a dramatic loss to a Georgia Tech team it was controlling early, Louisville beat NC State, and Navy beat UCF.
