Miami may have lost a football game in the dumbest possible way.
After an idle week, Penn State football stayed put at No. 6 in the AP Poll. But, there were plenty of moving parts around the Nittany Lions in the latest rankings.
Toward the end of the Red River Showdown, Kirk Herbstreit said on the broadcast that it was “one of those days you kick your feet up and watch college football all day.” And, yes, he was right. This weekend’s slate ended up being a fun one.
RED RIVER SHOWDOWN DELIVERS
The highlight of this week’s action ended up being, predictably, the Red River Showdown. After being shut out against the Longhorns last year, No. 12 Oklahoma pulled off a clinical game-winning drive to take down No. 3 Texas, 34-30. The Sooners leaped to No. 5 in the AP Poll thanks to their performance and have now won five of the last six editions of this rivalry game.

OHIO STATE STRUGGLES WITH MARYLAND
I’ve been on the #RankMaryland train for a bit now, but it looks like the Terps’ chances of cracking the AP Top 25 are gone for good.
Mike Locksley’s crew marched into Columbus and went toe-to-toe with Ohio State for three quarters — drawing a tie at halftime and trailing by just three heading into the final frame. Still, the No. 4 Buckeyes found a way to open things up in the fourth quarter and walk away with a 37-17 victory.
Maryland just Marylanded so hard omfg

MIAMI FINDS AN INEXPLICABLE WAY TO LOSE
This may have been one of the craziest finishes to a game yet this season, and one of the dumbest coaching decisions in recent memory. No. 17 Miami saw its undefeated season come to an end when Mario Cristobal decided to run real football plays instead of taking a knee when the game was in the bag for the Hurricanes. What ensued was nightmare fuel for any football fan. Miami dropped to No. 25 after its 23-20 loss.
WHY is Miami not just taking a knee here?!?!?! pic.twitter.com/cDNwwTtbBE

I completely forgot Mario Cristobal had almost the EXACT same thing happen to him in the 2018 Oregon-Stanford game, ran the ball instead of kneeling and fumbled. pic.twitter.com/uOX0KzRn5Z

Paul Finebaum on Miami's loss, Mario Cristobal:
— On3 (@On3sports) October 8, 2023
“It will transcend sports, the stupidity of Mario Cristobal... There are very few times in our industry when you see something so bone-headed and moronic as what we saw from Miami."

So the Miami thing actually gets stupider, if you can believe it. Cristobal just doesn’t take a knee at the end of games. He hasn’t all year. I don’t understand it. I’m not sure anyone would understand it. But it’s his thing. pic.twitter.com/A7Hulb92gv

NOTRE DAME LOSES...AGAIN
It might be time to start talking about Louisville. The Cardinals now boast a No. 14 ranking and a clean record after taking down a top-10 Notre Dame team, 33-20. The Irish now have two losses on the year and you can’t help but wonder how different the college football narrative would be had Kyle McCord not let that game-winning drive a few weeks ago. Notre Dame now sits at No. 21, and Ohio State is No. 3 — plus, the Irish have USC to deal with next.

I loathe Notre Dame football, but acting like playing four Top 25 games in a row (all at night) is not extremely difficult is comical pic.twitter.com/drpe1qdumZ
