#2 Ohio State got demolished by a 3-3 Purdue team, 49-20
#12 Oregon lost to Washington State, 34-20
#20 Cincinnati lost to Temple, 24-17 in overtime
Ohio State, Oregon and Cincinnati lost to unranked teams.
Kentucky, Penn State and South Florida won by 5 to 8 points.
#14 Kentucky squeezed by Vanderbilt, 14-7
#18 Penn State eased by Indiana, 33-28
#21 South Florida beat UConn, 38-30
The going was easier for these teams:
#1 Alabama was Alabama as usual, beating Tennessee, 58-21
#3 Clemson routed North Carolina State, 41-7. Maybe Hurricane Florence didn’t do WVU a favor after all.
#5 LSU defeated #22 Mississippi State, 19-3
#6 Michigan beat #24 Michigan State, 21-7
#9 Oklahoma beat TCU, 52-27
#10 Central Florida beat East Carolina, 37-10
#15 Washington beat Colorado, 27-13
#19 Iowa skunked Maryland, 23-0
#23 Wisconsin beat Illinois, 49-20
In the Big 12 only 4 teams have winning records in conference games:
1. Texas (no Big 12 losses)
2. West Virginia, Oklahoma and Texas Tech (1 Big 12 loss)
TCU and Oklahoma State, part of WVU's former November From Hell, look more beatable now. That still leaves Texas, and how the hell did the Longhorns beat an Oklahoma team with all that size, strength and speed?
So 8-3 is looking more hopeful for the Mountaineers. At least till next week when the carnage resumes.
