Overall Rationale: Alright, Week 9 is in the books and I guess we can continue the streak of a Too 5 Team getting knocked out on Halloween and we saw other teams being in the mix as well. We saw a battle of Top 25 between Ohio State and USC and USC found a way to beat Ohio State and it was crazy. Others like Northwestern going out to Eugene and losing to Oregon, and Oklahoma State losing to Iowa State in Ames it’s like a curse for them, at least it wasn’t 2011 all over again. SMU losing out to Syracuse in a close one and then Wisconsin getting shutout against Iowa. Georgia Hosted Florida in Atlanta and yeah Georgia beat Florida easily. Texas Tech found a way to beat Arizona wasn’t too shabby as well. What a way to end October and now we head into the home stretch that can make or break a season in past years, but now it’s not as harmful unless you already have 2 losses and can’t afford any more losses.
