My wife and I were down in Ohio baby sitting our great niece, and she is getting to the point where she doesn't take as many naps as she used to. That meant we were tasked with keeping her busy most of the day which in turn left little time for me to watch football. It's okay though, I'd much rather spend time with her than watch football if given the choice. I did get to watch a bit of the Indiana vs. Northwestern game on Friday night as the number 5 Hoosiers took on the Wildcats. It actually turned out to be a pretty good game it looks like with Indiana only beating Northwestern by six points 29 to 23. I am slightly surprised, but this is also Big Ten football, so you should never really count on a win one way or the other. I have some perfect examples of that in just a second here. Wake Forest had a big upset victory over the number 16 Louisville team 30 to 27 to get things going on Saturday. Likewise, the number 1 team in the country had a very narrow margin of victory over number 14 team when Texas beat Tennessee 20 to 17. Number 7 Ohio State had very little trouble crushing Illinois 42 to 19, and Michigan State took the expected home loss to Nebraska 31 to 13. I have very little doubt that it won't be too long before Nebraska finds their way into the top 25. They are just one key win away from making that move. Probably the biggest true upset of the day was the way number 21 Florida steamrolled number 4 Mississippi State 52 to 28. It was a dominating game by the gators and it sets them up for a big match up in a couple weeks against Texas. The second biggest upset which wasn't a true upset was number 17 Iowa beating number 18 Michigan on a last second play to take the victory 20 to 19. Although Iowa was the higher ranked team in this game, Michigan was the clear favorite. I was half expecting the officials to overturn the touchdown by Iowa just to continue protecting the U of M brand, but luckily they got it right and didn't. Well done Iowa, Michigan has deserved that loss since week one now. Wisconsin had a nice upset victory themselves over number 13 Penn State 24 to 20. Like I said, this is the Big Ten, so stuff like this happens all the time. It's part of the reason I love conference play. Those cupcake games are nice for a confidence boost, but you better come ready to play when the conference schedule starts! The upsets in the Big Ten weren't over with that game though. Number 20 Oregon didn't want to be left out, so they took down number 12 USC 41 to 27. Speaking of upsets, number 24 Mississippi State also secured a ranked win against number 19 Missouri 31 to 24. There is going to be a lot of movement in the rankings this week. The top three should stay pretty much the same, but anything below that will see some significant shake ups. ---------- ### [My Sports Account - @bozz.sports](https://www.peakd.com/@bozz.sports) ---------- #### Come hang out in [The Pub](https://peakd.com/c/hive-178138/created) [Find us on Discord](https://discord.gg/cCEMJXAEXk) Or Check out my [Grilling and Smoking Community on HIVE](https://peakd.com/c/hive-138631/created) ------------- ![TEAMUSAhive_footer_bozz.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bozz/fXpCTKUZ-TEAMUSA-hive_footer_bozz.jpg) ---------------- *All pictures/screenshots taken by myself or @mrsbozz unless otherwise sourced*
