In one week, we lost nearly half of our unbeaten teams. Week 4 of the college football season was a chaotic mess of the best kind, and it took us from 43 blemish-free programs to a mere 26.
Some of this was expected. For starters, a lot of the unbeatens played against each other. Others, like California (at Florida State) and Louisiana (vs. Tulane), were at least slight underdogs.
As it turned out, though, some simply weren't meant for this unbeaten life and fell as favorites. Kansas State imploded in a late Saturday loss at fellow unbeaten BYU.
