One-third of Sunday’s games involving top-50 teams (13 of 39) resulted in upsets, matching the top-50 upset total from the previous two days combined. One of the day’s best games was the final top-50 game to conclude – as #8 TCU and #21 Rice traded rallies in the 9th, with the Owls earning the exciting 5-4 upset. (Note that all rankings on this page refer to the CB360 Composite National Rankings, or CNR … front-page photo courtesy of Rice).
In addition to Rice, four other teams posted upset wins versus top-50 opponents: #44 California (6-0 vs. #14 Arkansas) … Tulane (12-4 vs. #20 Mississippi) … Arizona (10-1 vs. #23 CS Fullerton) … and UC Santa Barbara (15-11 at #25 Stanford).
Sunday also featured 10 “big games” between top-50 teams, with several noteworthy results. Florida (#5 in the CNR) won again at #12 Miami (4-2) to take that hard-fought series, while #9 Clemson left no doubt by winning 19-6 at #19 South Carolina to claim that unique three-site series. The #4 Florida State Seminoles completed a three-game home sweep of #27 Georgia, winning by a comfortable 17-5 margin.
The other eight upsets of top-50 teams (in addition to the wins by Rice, Cal, Tulane, Arizoan and UCSB) were as follows: at USC 6, #31 New Mexico 2 … Illinois-Chicago 7, at #32 Western Kentucky 5 … at #50 College of Charleston 7, #33 Alabama 6 … at East Tennessee St. 8, #34 St. John’s 6 … Utah 4, at 335 Washington St. 1 … at Texas Southern 6, Southeastern Louisiana 1 … at Jacksonville St. 9, Middle Tennessee St. 6 … and at Louisiana-Lafayette 10, #44 Southern Mississippi 9.
