Good luck to excavating (for a mind) tonight! 
My bad! I misread the crosstable thinking it was excavating (for a mind) who had picked Clemson to lose. It was actually DinoR who gets the -1 for that game. Sorry for both mistakes. 
He wasn’t too far from getting the point either. Maybe we should have a rule that if a ranked team wins but drops out of the top 25 for having such a crappy win you get the point anyway 
(Not that I think Clemson will drop that far, but I don’t think they deserve to be as highly ranked as they are after that game)
Missed it by that much.
Not a bad point! Only real problem is having to wait a week to see the new AP Poll numbers. Other than that it would make for a fun wrinkle. Others may wish to chime in on it before we put it into effect – maybe next year?
I almost picked Missouri to lose. As weak as I thought they might be I didn’t think UCONN could do it. It would have been another missed it by that much.
I had been thinking that the win ugly and drop out change. I didn’t see it happening much if at all. Auburn dropped 12 by winning ugly against an FCS team. What are the odds of dropping out if it’s an FCS team? It would have to be a team already 20+. Even then 2/3 of P5 team’s schedules are against P5 teams in conference where the hit likely wouldn’t be bad for a win. How rare would that rule end up being?
Then Missouri stinks up the place as a #22. It might happen this week.
The scores:

I’m surprised nobody else picked USC to lose. Stanford is better than they played against NW and they’ve had the Trojans’ number in recent years. That was a fun game to watch, both teams looked great on offense.
