College football<\/a> is an unpredictable sport. Think of all the hype about Week 10 that began in the offseason. It was set up to be one of the biggest weekends of not just the 2026 season, but perhaps of the last few years. And even though the tilt between Oregon<\/a> and Ohio State<\/a> didn’t have quite the stakes as we imagined before the year began, it was replaced by a surprise top-15 battle between Kentucky<\/a> and Tennessee<\/a>.<\/p>\n Then Saturday finally showed up, and it was mostly a dud. The Holy War between BYU<\/a> and Utah<\/a> was a lot of fun, and Miami<\/a> battled back and made things interesting against Notre Dame<\/a> in the end, but by and large, there wasn’t much excitement.<\/p>\n There were seven games between ranked teams on Saturday, and the average margin of victory was 17.6 points. There were as many one-score games (two) as there were 4+ score games. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, there have been weekends this season when there aren’t “marquee” matchups, but everything goes off the rails. It’s a reminder that none of us know anything about this sport, no matter how much of it we watch. At the end of the day, it’s going to do what it wants, and all you can do is wait to see what happens.<\/p>\n And, of course, adjust your power ratings accordingly.<\/p>\n Dropped out: Ole Miss<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Most of last weekend’s heavyweight showdowns were duds, paving the way for the Longhorns’ climb Nov 10, 2026…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":913088,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[1603,79848,1607,76262,399,6341,24500,6815,25623,79381,6342,372987,116695,68064,398,396,397,1778,1776,19502,5693,99,19501,5690,8390,3679],"class_list":["post-913087","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-alabama-crimson-tide","tag-cj-carr","tag-college-football","tag-dylan-raiola","tag-football","tag-georgia-bulldogs","tag-gunner-stockton","tag-indiana-hoosiers","tag-jeremiah-smith","tag-keelon-russell","tag-lsu-tigers","tag-luke-fahey","tag-malachi-toney","tag-miami-fla-hurricanes","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-notre-dame-fighting-irish","tag-ohio-state-buckeyes","tag-ole-miss-rebels","tag-oregon-ducks","tag-sports","tag-tennessee-volunteers","tag-texas-longhorns","tag-utah-utes","tag-wake-forest-demon-deacons"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=913087"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913087\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/913088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=913087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=913087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=913087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
