The first top-10 matchup of the season was a lopsided blowout, but we got our first major upset of the season Saturday.
No. 5 Notre Dame was stunned at home by Northern Illinois, 16-14. The Huskies drove down for a 35-yard field goal by Kanon Woodill with just over 30 seconds left in the game and then blocked the Irish’s own attempt to win it as time expired.
In the marquee showdown Saturday, No. 3 Texas left no doubt as to which team is the contender against No. 10 Michigan, blowing out the Wolverines 31-12 at the Big House.
Elsewhere, No. 17 Kansas State survived against Tulane after a controversial finish and No. 16 Oklahoma State rallied back to beat Arkansas in double overtime.
In the evening window, Colorado was blitzed by Nebraska in the first half before settling for a 28-10 loss, No. 4 Alabama struggled through three quarters before turning on the jets late against USF and No. 14 Tennessee hammered No. 24 NC State in a blowout. Then Oregon eked out a win in the nightcap with a last-second field goal.
