There’s always a little one here and a little one there but upsets are generally sprinkled throughout the season and none too shocking. Usually. Rewind to the past weekend of NCAA college football and that above axiom is twisted, broken, and shot in to space. Let’s start with the first and perhaps most shocking upset.

Thursday in Corvallis.  The Oregon State Beavers shock the world and defeat the supposedly unbeatable USC Trojans 27-21. The Beavers stymied the Trojans offense for the majority of the game and sent the number 1 team down several spots in the AP rankings.

The upsets only continued on Saturday. After USC was bumped from number 1 status several teams were ready to usurp the spot. It wouldn’t be number 3 Georgia, however, as they fell to Alabama in a deceiving score of 41-30 (deceiving because Alabama far outplayed the Bulldogs). It also wouldn’t be number 4 Florida Gators whose late point after attempt was blocked, resulting in a 31-30 loss to Ole Miss. In addition to these two games, another top ten team Wisconsin Badgers fell to Michigan 27-25.

All in all, six ranked teams lost to unranked teams over the weekend. In addition to USC, Florida, and Wisconsin, upsets occurred for Wake Forest, East Carolina, and Clemson as well. This weekend it was Oklahoma who really made out like a bandit, winning easily over TCU 35-10 and now sitting atop the NCAA rankings totem pole.
