But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do/
When you’re ridin’ sixteen hours and there’s nothin’ left to do/
And you don’t feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through.
~Bob Seger
The road was not kind this past weekend. Eight ranked teams fell on the road to unranked teams.
Oklahoma State 38, #6 Texas 35
Cal 12, #15 Washington 10
Mississippi State 28, #16 Texas A&M 13
Arizona 44, #19 Oregon 15
Northwestern 31, #20 Wisconsin 17
Houston 57, #21 South Florida 36
Syracuse 51, #22 NC State 41
Georgia Southern 34, #25 Appalachian State 14
The more this seasons rolls along, the more clear it is that there are a whole lotta mediocre teams out there; teams that can be unbeatable machines one week and cupcakes the next.
