We’re around the halfway point of the college football season and what a weekend of action we had! The contenders continued to separate themselves from the pretenders in Week 6. We’ve seen our fair share of upsets, blowouts and standout plays but the action isn’t done yet.
Heading into the week, It was guaranteed that we’ll have at least 38 losses by AP-ranked teams — the second most of all-time through six weeks. The record of 39 was set in 2007, so with two more losses by ranked teams against unranked foes this week, a new mark would be reached.
The result of this madness could cause a shake up in the AP Top-25 — and also allows for teams’ social media departments to celebrate their wins with some creative trolling.

Despite allowing a touchdown on the final play of regulation, Ole Miss managed to hang on for a wild one-point win over Arkansas.
Just in case anyone had questions about the win, the team’s Twitter page posted a website that answers any lingering questions about the game’s final results. How thoughtful of them.
