On Saturday, November 7, four of the ten remaining undefeated FBS teams lost their first games of the season. Number 13 Memphis got routed at home against Navy 45-20 to let their dreams of an undefeated season die. Later, Number 8 TCU got steam-rolled by Number 14 Oklahoma State 49-29. In a controversial loss, the Number 7 Michigan State Spartan got upset by the Nebraska Cornhuskers after they scored two touchdowns in the final two minutes of the game to win 39-38 at Nebraska. Shortly after the Spartans game ended, Number 2 LSU lost a tough game against Number 4 Alabama on the road 30-16. These losses could very well put all of these teams out of the playoff picture unless the other undefeated teams lose one of their remaining games.
Currently there are only six undefeated teams remaining in the FBS: Houston, Baylor, Clemson, Oklahoma State, Ohio State, and the team everybody is betting against the Iowa Hawkeyes. As the season is close to its end, many of these teams could fall, but that is yet to be determined. With the playoffs approaching, it will be exciting to see which teams can keep their dream seasons alive to get into the playoffs.
I agree
