College football top 25 losers
These ranked teams took one on the chin in the Week 2 action
Rankings reflect AP poll
No. 6 Texas A&M. App State chalks up another victim, this time the SEC hopeful Aggies, whose offense was M.I.A. behind quarterback Haynes King, driving a unit that didn't surpass 200 total yards and under 100 passing.
No. 8 Notre Dame. No Irish head coach started his career going 0-3. Until now. Marcus Freeman dropped his third game, and his first at home, to unranked Marshall, who played better offense and tacked on a pick-6. Anybody who doesn't want to see Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff just got their wish.
No. 9 Baylor. A tough loss on the last play of the second overtime on the road and the Bears' conference title defense takes a minor hit. Dave Aranda needs to fine-tune a passing attack that averaged under 5 yards per play.
No. 12 Florida. For the first time since 1977, the Gators have dropped two straight to rival Kentucky, which played the more inspired offense as Anthony Richardson flopped his second time out this season. No UF receiver had over 40 yards on the night.
No. 17 Pittsburgh. Questions at QB now after Kedon Slovis left at halftime following a hard hit. Pitt's D held up in the second half, holding Tennessee's great offense to 3 points, but the Vols broke the dam in overtime.
No. 19 Wisconsin. The Badgers owned the time of possession against Washington State and threw the ball better, but couldn't capitalize on their offensive chances, taking a hit in the Big Ten West race early in the year with a loss that could sting later.
No. 25 Houston. Another overtime game, but this time a loss at the hands of Texas Tech, as Donovan Smith ran for the game-winner to finally dump the Group of 5 from whatever College Football Playoff hopes it had.
