I'm sure it wouldn't happen, but some helmet programs from the fertile recruiting states perhaps should invent an annual OOC rivalry if they are lacking one.  Something like A&M vs Miami or USC vs Texas.  It would benefit both sides.



As for other potentials ELA listed, it would elevate one program and wouldn't benefit the other, name-brand school.
I get why they don't.  But as a fan, you are going to play some cupcakes.  I'd rather watch WVU-Marshall than WVU-WKU or something.

Yup, I love that UF and FSU play every year OOC, and I also love seeing Clemson-South Carolina and UGA-GaTech (even if CD doesn't like it :57:).

Times are different now though, this isn't the 40s/50s/60s (or 1890s, 1900s, 1910s, 20s, or 30s either).

We're not going to see anyone start a new annual OOC game, just not gonna happen.
No love for ISU/Iowa?

If these were the only two games Michigan would  lose, fans would love it. But if Michigan loses both road games, I'd bet on it losing at least two games out of ND/MSU/OSU, if not all three. Put another way, if Michigan is at 5-2 after game seven, then the season is 100% off the tracks and they are probably going to finish the season at 8-4 or 7-5 -- scraping below the bottom of the bucket on preseason expectations.

2, 4 and 6 all go down, plus a couple more in the top 25. that'd be a fun weekend.

WEEK 8
Friday, October 18

  • NORTHWESTERN d. #2 OHIO STATE
If Ohio State loses one and only one game, this is probably the best one to lose.  Losing on a Friday night to a pretty good opponent that does NOT take control of destiny away is just about a minimal of damage as any loss could be.  Ohio State would still control their own destiny at least to the B1GCG and probably beyond.

All told he has:
  • #2 losing to an unranked team
  • #4 losing to #16
  • #6 losing to #22
  • #13 losing to #21
  • #15 losing to #10
  • #23 losing to an unranked team
  • #25 losing to an unranked team


This wouldn't quite be a record but it would be a very unusually crazy weekend with seven ranked teams including three top-10 teams losing.

  • #2 losing to an unranked team
  • #4 losing to #16
  • #6 losing to #22
  • #13 losing to #21
  • #15 losing to #10
  • #23 losing to an unranked team
  • #25 losing to an unranked team
This will create a MAJOR shakeup in the top-25:
  • For #2 tOSU and #4 Oregon this is their first loss so they should probably only slide to about #10ish.  
  • For #6 LSU, #13 Michigan, and #15 WVU this is their second loss so this should probably drop them to about #20ish.  
  • #16 Washington has a huge win and a bunch of fortuitous losses in front of them so they should climb into the top-10.  
  • #21 Penn State and #22 MissSt have big wins and will move up considerably.  
  • #23 Baylor and #25 Purdue drop out.  


So my guess is:
  • Georgia
  • Syracuse
  • Clemson
  • Alabama
  • Washington
  • Wisconsin
  • Oklahoma
  • Texas
  • aTm
  • ND
  • Oregon
  • Ohio State
  • Mississippi State
  • Penn State
  • Utah
  • Missouri
  • Fresno State
  • Boston College
  • Florida
  • LSU
  • Michigan
  • Iowa State
  • Iowa
  • Northwestern
  • OkSU
