Week 9 Upset Breakdown: Carnage Everywhere
This weekend wasn’t just football—it was College Football ranked team demolition.
Minnesota over 25 Nebraska
Nebraska walked in confident, but Minnesota punched them in the mouth in the second half and then never let up. A statement win that rocketed the Gophers in the conference and dumped Nebraska down the board.
Louisville upsets 2 Miami
In another Friday night clash the Cardinals lit the fire early and never let it burn out, handing Miami a frustrating loss that drops them into panic mode. Louisville now becomes a team nobody wants to schedule.
9 Georgia stuns 5 Ole Miss
Ole Miss walked in top-five and walked out humbled. Both coaches also came from previous Alabama stints under Saban. Kirby Smart was able to outlast Lane Kiffin in a high scoring battle to jump into the No. 5 spot.
Arizona State shocks 7 Texas Tech
The Sun Devils turned a 4th quarter shootout into a statement, coming up big against Texas Tech and earning a rankings bump. Texas Tech’s playoff hopes? Now on life support.
17 Vanderbilt beats 10 LSU
This wasn’t an accident. Vanderbilt looked composed from start to finish, sending LSU spiraling down the rankings and shocking the entire SEC landscape.
UAB takes down 22 Memphis
In what might be the quietest upset, UAB shut down Memphis and stole a game that instantly put the new interim coach (Alex Mortensen) into a real contender for the job.
