Penn State wasn’t the only college football program to get embarrassed Saturday.
This week, unfortunately, the eyes of the college football world were locked in on Penn State. We already recapped the online narrative following that game.
But, we all love college football because of the unpredictability, chaos, and silliness that can occur on any given Saturday. And although the Nittany Lions may have made us question our love for the sport, an otherwise beautiful slate of games was a good enough consolation prize.
USC IS COOKED
USC’s season is basically over, Caleb Williams' Heisman campaign is dead, and the Utes continue to assert themselves as a powerhouse college football program. A Cam Rising-less Utah team went into the Coliseum and delivered a knockout punch to the No. 18 Trojans.

GUESS ‘HOOS BACK
In a battle between two perennial college basketball teams, Virginia vs. No. 10 UNC went the distance. The ‘Hoos were just 1-5 entering the matchup and played spoiler to the Tar Heels’ perfect season.

BAMA IS STILL BAMA
Despite an early season stumble, Alabama continues to prove that it has a legitimate path to the college football playoff. The Crimson Tide’s most recent resume-booster was a win over No. 17 Tennessee, boosting it into the AP Top 10.

IOWA GETS ROBBED
It’s Iowa football — of course it’s going to be weird. The Hawkeyes’ hopes of an 11-1 season were dashed Saturday after some bizarre late-game officiating gave Minnesota the win. This was also a blow to Penn State’s strength of schedule, which could come into play should the Nittany Lions, Buckeyes, and Wolverines all finish with the same record.
NOOOOOOOOO THEY RULED HE CALLED FAIR CATCH. UNREALLL https://t.co/DK6gg6gSpt

This angle in real time shows it’s not an invalid fair catch signal.

You are allowed to point at the ball, Cooper is coached up to do that with the invalid fair catch signals in mind.

Just watched the end of the Iowa-Minnesota game. Regardless of the call, Iowa fans and players reacted like the call lost the game.

They still had 90 seconds and only needed about 20 yards to get into field goal range.

MICHIGAN DELETES SPARTY
Michigan might be the best team in the country. It rolled into East Lansing and easily took care of the Spartans, further sending their program into disarray. A bizarre scoreboard error also highlighted just how down Michigan State is right now. The 49-0 final score was quite crooked.
Once you understand that it’s psychologically impossible for anyone with MSU to say nice things about Michigan, videos like this make sense. pic.twitter.com/ri3fJlFFla

#Michigan QB JJ McCarthy was my QB3 entering the season and he has absolutely lived up to that so far. Eager to see him vs. Penn St and Ohio St defenses in a few weeks.

After the game, UM's JJ McCarthy ran over to MSU's Jordan Hall & gave him a hug. Those were the only 2 players I saw engage after the game. I spent some time in the stands as the game was winding down. Also, outside the stadium after the game. MSU/UM fans were all getting along. pic.twitter.com/TzHRbqdFUi
