The first Saturday of the second half of the 2019 college football season offered us the most inexplicable upset so far.
Illinois, a 30½-point underdog, stunned previously unbeaten Wisconsin 24-23 at home, with James McCourt kicking a 39-yard field goal as time expired.
The loss might end up costing the Badgers a trip to the College Football Playoff and denying the Big Ten a second entry in the four-team playoff.
The Badgers weren't the only team that had its postseason hopes damaged on Saturday. Boise State, with dreams of playing in another New Year's Six bowl game, lost at BYU 28-25 on Saturday night without injured starting quarterback Hank Bachmeier.
