Bingo...

#2 Oregon, #3 Alabama, #4 Oklahoma, #6 Texas A&M, #12 UCLA, #13 Georgia, and #15 LSU all lost that October weekend.
I didn't look past #15, but there were likely some others between #15 and #25.

"To think these highly ranked/highly favored teams could lose en masse is ludicrous. They're favored For A Reason" - Ignorant morons

LOL
.
Iirc, #2 Oregon lost on a Friday night to Zona(?) at home. And everybody was going crazy. Then Saturday came and it was chaos. The Ducks timed their loss perfectly, everybody had kind of forgotten about it on Sunday morning.

Yep.

Like I said in an earlier post, it can start on a Thursday night.

Coaches use it as locker room fodder to motivate their teams to a different level while the highly ranked favorites get complacent because they're so used to winning and being media darlings. Oregon Friday night was likely the motivating factor for all the other upsets that weekend.

Underdog coaches this week..........

"South Carolina did it two weeks ago, so can you"
"Illinois did it last week, so can you"

It happens.

The quality of those highly ranked/favored teams doesn't change because of the loss. They just get their minds right after getting caught with their pants down. These are college kids, they get complacent. Even the coaches can see it in practice, but there's not much they can do about it until the kids themselves learn the hard way.

1) There is an upset Saturday every year. Typically in October.
2) We've not had upset Saturday yet.
3) Both are on the road.

That’s some pretty solid info you have there. Do you have an insider or something?

If we could delay upset Saturday for a couple of weeks, that would be cool.

As opposed to your solid info?

Hell yeah I do. That’s why I have Arkansas straight up over Bama. My guy texted me last night and said, “no Tua... no can doa.” I probably shouldn’t have shared that here. You owe me one

Erbody knows Tua ain't playing in that game. Hardly insider.

Arkansas is NOT going to upset Alabama this weekend. That's low hanging fruit.

TCU's offense ain't too swift IMHO. They may have won their last game this year.

The only team I would put on upset alert is Notre Dane and I really don’t have a good reason for that.
hard to include it as an upset when they're not favored to win either
