Remember Toledo’s big win at Mississippi State last week? How about Northern Illinois knocking off Notre Dame? Or Memphis downing Florida State?
All three Group of Five teams lost in a wild day of college football Saturday, possibly knocking them out of consideration for the grand prize. They may no longer control their own destiny in pursuit of the illustrious spot reserved for at least one of them in the College Football Playoff (the highest-ranked Group of Five conference champion gets an automatic berth).
The Rockets, Huskies and Tigers followed big power conference wins with losses to Western Kentucky, Buffalo and Navy, respectively.
