It was an upset sort of weekend for college football's elite. Nine of the AP-25 teams awoke with hangovers; the foul taste of defeat in their mouths. Five of the losing teams were previously ranked in the top ten. And to make matters worse only two of the losing teams, West Virginia and Oregon, fell to ranked opponents.

This started the chain reaction that would tear through college football's top-teams. #3 Oklahoma blew a 24-7 lead, succumbing to Colorado in a last minute field goal. The national champion Florida Gators #4 followed suit, upset by a last minute field goal by Auburn, the same team that upset the one-loss Gators last season.
