Chaos fuels college football. It’s the engine that keeps the sport the zany mess we all love so much.
In sports, chaos is thrilling. Chaos is fun. Chaos is wonderful.
Oregon brought chaos to central Ohio and to all of college football in September, storming into the Horseshoe for a 35–28 upset of Ohio State. The Ducks were on the good end of chaos.
There is a bad end, too, and they found that place Saturday night in Salt Lake City, losing to Utah in a result that ushers a wave of chaos into the sport entering the final week of the regular season.
