Losers

Their CFP chances are not astatine each done, but this was expected to beryllium an elite offense, and it’s not shown the past 2 weeks.

The nonaccomplishment marked Michigan’s archetypal Big Ten nonaccomplishment since 2021.

SEC: We person nary thought what benignant of crippled program Alabama and Tennessee enactment unneurotic entering their respective games. But the Tide were tally done by Vanderbilt, and Tennessee’s discourtesy looked thing similar what was advertised. Now, some teams are sitting with a loss, and we’ve got a agelong ways to spell successful the season. A brutal time for the 1st and 4th ranked teams successful the country. 

USC: The Trojans spiral continues aft dropping their 2nd crippled of the season, this clip coming astatine the hands of Minnesota. The Gophers went for a 4th down wrong the Trojans 2-yard line, erstwhile they could’ve conscionable kicked the FG to instrumentality the precocious lead.

It is not going to get immoderate easier for the Cardinals arsenic they person Miami and Clemson coming up successful the adjacent month.

Temple: Not that Temple is simply a programme that should regularly beryllium taxable to nationalist scrutiny, but 1 of the biggest end-game blunders and an epic viral embarrassment volition get it connected this list. A fumble connected the extremity enactment by backmost Forrest Brock with a accidental to triumph the crippled turned into a two-possession nonaccomplishment to UConn successful a substance of seconds. Temple is conscionable fortunate that Alabama, USC and Michigan ended up suffering disastrous losses themselves, different Temple whitethorn person been the biggest loser of a week that was expected to beryllium beauteous quiet.
