Upsets, blowouts, overtimes, and an overwhelming inundation of advertisements characterized the week that was. I\u2019ve assigned superlatives for the best of the best and worst of the worst in some of the most important categories for any given college football week, from best game to biggest embarrassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Game: Wyoming 35, Texas Tech 33 (2OT)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Texas Tech led, 17-0, at the end of the first quarter, but that was gone by the middle of the third period. Wyoming registered 20 unanswered points, which started with a 56-yard bomb of a field goal via kicker John Hoyland, to regain footing in the fixture. The Red Raiders missed three field goals, including one off the upright in the fourth quarter, but kicker Gino Garcia came through in the final minute of regulation with a 27-yarder to knot it all at 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mS5tT4LGTxc?si=jZU0svUcWpX3nYQR\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wyoming stared down the barrel at a 4th &amp; 7 from the 11 in the second overtime. Unwilling to play it safe, the offense stayed on the field. While in the midst of a vicious hit, the Cowboys quarterback narrowly slung a perfect pass to John Michael Gyllenborg on a crossing route left open by the blitz to flip a near-catastrophe to pure ecstasy. The Red Raiders responded with a touchdown of their own but couldn\u2019t complete the two-point conversion to match, and Wyoming picked up its second win over a power-conference opponent<a href=\"https:\/\/gowyo.com\/sports\/2023\/7\/17\/2023-cowboy-football-media-guide.aspx\"> since 2009<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the start of the season,<a href=\"https:\/\/articles.runyourpool.com\/2023\/08\/10\/the-biggest-game-of-each-college-football-week\/\"> I predicted<\/a> which games would be the best of each week of the year. I did not have Texas Tech at Wyoming tabbed as my game-to-watch, instead going for Florida State vs. LSU, which did deliver in the first half at least. But I\u2019m big enough to admit I was wrong. On Saturday, Laramie was treated to a night many won\u2019t soon forget (in a general sense \u2013 specific memories may be spotty, you know, for reasons).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Worst Game: BYU 14, Sam Houston State 0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To the more than 63,000 people who showed up in person to watch BYU and Sam Houston State combine for more punts than points: I\u2019m sorry. You didn\u2019t deserve this. This shouldn\u2019t have happened to you. It\u2019s not your fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bearkats and Cougars punted the ball to one another<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-football\/playbyplay\/_\/gameId\/401520152\"> 19 times in 60 minutes of play<\/a> \u2013 that works out to a punt approximately every 3 minutes and 16 seconds. It also surpassed the 14 points they mustered up, all BYU\u2019s responsibility. Only eight of the game\u2019s 27 possessions ended in some way other than a punt: three in interceptions, two on downs, and two by the end of the two halves rounded out the unsuccessful attempts. In all, more than 92 percent of all possessions ended in anything but a score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sam Houston State<br>at BYU<br>on their own 35<br>down 14 points<br>4:01 to go in the GAME<br>4th and 3 and&#8230;.<br><br>PUNTING!!!!<br><br>I\u2019ve heard SHSU coach KC Keeler is a sharp guy.

If you\u2019re a sadist, convince someone else to watch them. If you\u2019re a BYU or Sam Houston State fan, forget that this ever happened and move on with your life as quickly as possible. It will shock you how much it never happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Most Improved: Colorado<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Colorado has already matched its win total from the 2022 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The college football world is buzzing over Coach Prime and his Buffs after Colorado dispatched of No. 17 TCU in Fort Worth,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-football\/boxscore\/_\/gameId\/401523994\"> 45-42<\/a>, in a performance that at the least confirms that a repeat of last year is not in the cards. How much more it means than that is yet to be seen, but there\u2019s no way Boulder runs back-to-back one-win conference slates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lirj7nNgVEc?si=NpC9eigb7WUWNXNa\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now the big question becomes: How good is Colorado? Quarterback Shedeur Sanders torched TCU for 510 yards and four touchdowns through the air, and CU\u2019s receiving core looked outstanding. But the Buffs managed just 1.6 yards per rush and allowed the Horned Frogs to gash them for 541 total yards. Is this a bowl-caliber team? A contender for the Pac-12 title? A pretender that outlasted a paper tiger?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That fog will clear soon enough, but the baseline inquiry of improvement has already been answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biggest Embarrassment: Butch Jones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The guy known for blaming his players and giving post-game quotes you can\u2019t believe are actually coming out of the mouth of an FBS head coach is back at it again, and this time, he\u2019s diverting responsibility for his team losing<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-football\/playbyplay\/_\/gameId\/401525822\"> 73-0<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Justin Parks consoling his head coach Butch Jones during a tough afternoon \u2764\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/88TZvgmywl\">pic.twitter.com\/88TZvgmywl<\/a><\/p>&mdash; SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SportsCenter\/status\/1698055491706835247?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 2, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arkansas State was not supposed to win in Norman, but any 73-point destruction, especially a shutout, will always be embarrassing. It seemed to be all too much for head coach Butch Jones to handle as he was visibly distraught on the sideline, one of his players consoling him as if their roles were reversed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not a good look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the game, Jones doubled down on the not-so-good look, implying that the program\u2019s players didn\u2019t care before he took over as coach in 2021. The Red Wolves went to bowl games from 2011 through 2019 and won at least seven games in each of those seasons. They are now 5-20 under Jones. Something doesn\u2019t add up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Butch Jones claims when he got to Arkansas St they didn\u2019t have players that cared. The previous coach was 51-37, Butch is 5-20. Then he proceeds to blame his players for the 73-0 loss. Great guy <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LgYDvW1WPo\">pic.twitter.com\/LgYDvW1WPo<\/a><\/p>&mdash; VOLS?? (@VolBlood) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VolBlood\/status\/1698286473517088833?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 3, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a deserved beating that Jones is taking in the aftermath of the annihilation. A once-proud program in Jonesboro is now hapless, and it\u2019s apparently the fault of the unsalaried, amateur players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biggest Statement: Florida State<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To do what the Seminoles did in the most hyped game of the week says something, and it\u2019s why they now have a few voters convinced they\u2019re the top team in the nation. After a tight first 40 minutes, Florida State put its foot down on LSU in Orlando, smothering the Tigers in the second half with 28 straight points to blow the game open,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-football\/boxscore\/_\/gameId\/401520182\"> 45-24<\/a>. The Noles came through in big moments, displayed adeptly by the discrepancy in late-down efficiencies: FSU was 9-of-14 on third down and 1-of-1 on fourth, while LSU converted on just 3-of-10 third-down tries and went 0-of-3 on the ultimate down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jordan Travis influenced five touchdowns as he led his offense to nearly 500 total yards, but he wasn\u2019t the star of the show. It was wide receiver Keon Coleman, one of two Florida State wideouts to record more than 100 receiving yards on the night along with Johnny Wilson, who elevated above the rest. His nine receptions for 122 yards were crucial, including three scoring snags and a huge 41-yard catch in the middle of the third quarter with the score tied at 17 and his team needing some breathing room away from their own end zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wUH1KpMRUBI?si=erjA42Vh_q8LgzwE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naturally, people will lambast LSU and Brian Kelly for the capitulation, because it\u2019s fun and convenient. Such is the nature of college football. But don\u2019t be too quick to jump down the throat of the losing party at the cost of praising excellence \u2013 Florida State put the nation on notice with how well it stayed focused down the stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biggest Upset: Duke 28, Clemson 7<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forget who overcame the biggest spread.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-football\/game\/_\/gameId\/401525468\"> This game<\/a> has to be the choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Tigers started their defense of the ACC title belt with a dud, making mistake after mistake to take themselves out of the game. Clemson lost two fumbles, threw one interception, turned the ball over on downs three times, and had two two field goal attempts blocked en route to amassing seven points. The offense moved the ball okay, but it\u2019s tough to win when you convert on only one of four red zone opportunities. This was an authentic, gen-u-wine Clemson-ing, and boy, what a sight to behold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yfqVn9Guocs?si=y48wQKGOwkJaROzz\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conversely, you have to acknowledge how giant this is for Duke. In my 20-plus years of watching college football, I cannot recall a single time when the Blue Devils did anything that approached this. It was Duke\u2019s first victory over an AP top-10 team since 1989 after 28 straight failed attempts, and it\u2019s the school&#8217;s first triumph over Clemson since 2004. It\u2019s a dream start for the program and second-year head coach Mike Elko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duke is now ranked, and quarterback Riley Leonard and the Blue Devils are less likely to sneak up on anybody. But all of a sudden, the entire complexion of the ACC has changed, and we\u2019ve only played one week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biggest Lesson: Commercials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You didn\u2019t think those fat media rights contracts were paying for themselves, did you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Less football, more advertising! It\u2019s exactly what the people asked for. It\u2019s what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/stories\/college-football\/college-football-coaches-wary-of-effect-of-new-first-down-clock-rule\">the coaches<\/a> asked for, too. Just ask Chip Kelly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"qme\" dir=\"ltr\">? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/svPDL0S0dU\">pic.twitter.com\/svPDL0S0dU<\/a><\/p>&mdash; no context college football (@nocontextcfb) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nocontextcfb\/status\/1698183624913477771?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 3, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the offseason, the NCAA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-football\/story\/_\/id\/36255797\/ncaa-approves-rule-change-run-clock-first-downs\">changed its rule<\/a> regarding clock stoppages after first downs. Now, only in the last two minutes of each half does a first down initiate a time suspension while the chains are reset. Otherwise, only the sidelines and incompletions terminate the ticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The TV runtime for games has not altered, though. The game itself is moving faster, but the length it takes is not. That artificial void is now filled with something even faker \u2013 advertisements that inform us of all the wonderful products we should purchase to achieve happiness. I recall experiencing more happiness while watching college football before commercials outdid the game itself by a ratio of more than 3-to-1, but perhaps I\u2019m not buying enough things to reap the full benefits of hyper-commercialization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Breaking down the TCU\/CU broadcast:<br><br>Game length: 3 hrs 36 mins 42 secs<br>Ads: 49 mins 27 secs<br>Ad breaks: 25<br>Ratio of game to ads: 3.4:1<br><br>1st\/2nd Q had a stretch of 1:17 on the game clock that had 9 mins 30 secs of ads.<br><br>Approx mentions of Deion Sanders\/Prime: 56<br>Sonny Dykes: 10<\/p>&mdash; Marc Istook (@MarcIstook) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarcIstook\/status\/1698687508857401715?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 4, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Meme: Montana State Trash Guy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s what we all love about college football: unfettered goofiness.
