Q: What do you call a coach in Alabama who takes his ranked team into Nashville and loses to Vandy?

A: Senator

After weeks of nonconference matchups played on home fields, the league season has ramped up. So, too, have the cross-country trips. You’ll never guess how those results are playing out.
Teams traveling at least two time zones for conference matchups are 1-8 thus far, and the lone win — Indiana over UCLA in the Rose Bowl — carries a significant caveat: The Hoosiers were coming off a Friday game, at home, against Western Illinois. (They had an extra day to prepare and a cupcake to eat.)
The eight losing teams that have traveled multiple time zones are USC (at Michigan and Minnesota), Michigan State (at Oregon), Washington (at Rutgers), Northwestern (at Washington), UCLA (at Penn State), Wisconsin (at USC), and Michigan (at Washington).
The list of losses includes several next-level logistical hurdles: Washington and Michigan State had long trips on short weeks (for Friday games), while UCLA kicked at 9 a.m. Pacific in its blowout loss Saturday at Penn State — the same start time the Huskies will face next weekend at Iowa.
To be clear: There is more to the losses noted above than taxing travel. But it stands to reason that the impact of air miles logged and time zones crossed adds to the timeless challenges posed by matchups, injuries and mistakes. We should also note that of the eight road teams that crossed the Rockies and lost, only USC was favored to win its matchup (at both Michigan and Minnesota).
