Historic Day Of Football Ends With Alabama, Tennessee, Michigan, USC And Missouri Losing On The Road
I know some of you all thought Saturday would be a dud because of the lack of Top-25 matchups across college football. But my goodness, we were treated to a crazy day of football, thanks to losses by Alabama, Tennessee, USC, Michigan and Missouri.
It’s usually the slate of games that you least expect. This was the case on a wild day that ended on the West Coast, as Miami and California squared-off in the ACC challenge that saw the Hurricanes erase a 25-point deficit to beat the Bears.
The chaos started in College Station, made a pit-stop in Nashville, traversed to the State of Washington and ended in Minnesota.
For the first time in SEC history, we saw two Top-5 teams lose to unranked opponents on the same day.
You didn’t actually think we’d get through the weekend without some chaos, right?
Vanderbilt Shocks No. 1 Alabama, As Nashville Erupts In Chaos
In what might be the wildest upset this season, and I do remember Northern Illinois beating Notre Dame, but what Vanderbilt did on Saturday afternoon in Nashville will be remembered for a very long time.
For the first time in forty years, Vanderbilt defeated Alabama, and did so in-front of what looked like a crowd full of Crimson. This game belonged to Diego Pavia, who ran all over the Alabama defense, and made them pay through the air as well. The Vanderbilt QB has now beaten the Tide and Auburn in a span of two years, with two different teams, after winning on the Plains last season with New Mexico State.
This night belonged to the Commodores, as they forced Jalen Milroe into numerous mistakes, and frustrated the Alabama defense into a number of mind-numbing plays. As the clock ticked down to zero, Vandy fans stormed the field in jubilation, tearing down the goalposts and taking it all the way to the Cumberland River in Downtown Nashville.
Nextup: Alabama will host South Carolina, while Vanderbilt will play at Kentucky.
Arkansas Stuns No. 4 Tennessee In Another Huge upset
Oh, so you thought Vanderbilt would be the only team to cause chaos in the Top-5 this weekend? Nope, Arkansas decided to get in on the party, upsetting No.4 Tennessee 19-14 in what was a dramatic game of defense.
There was nothing about Tennessee’s playcalling that made them look like a team that was prepared for a trip to Fayetteville. I don’t know what happened to Josh Heupel’s explosive offense, but the offensive line has done them zero favors over the past few weeks. Credit goes to Sam Pittman and the Razorbacks for taking advantage of the Vols mistakes, given that things could’ve gone sideways when QB Taylen Green took a bad hit to the knee in the fourth quarter.
The longer Arkansas hung around, the more it felt like Tennessee was in trouble. And now, the Vols are in a very interesting spot, almost the same as Ole Miss last weekend after the loss to Kentucky. The next two weeks could define the Tennessee season, as Florida and Alabama will travel to Knoxville. I’m not saying the Vols have to win both, but if they were to lose, it better not come at the hands of the Gators, with the playoffs just two months away.
Big win for the Hogs, while it was a bad night to hear ‘Rocky Top’ in Fayettville.
Next, Tennessee hosts Florida in a game in which I now have no idea what to expect. Arkansas gets a week off before hosting LSU.
What’s Up, Missouri? Texas A&M Pounces On No. 9 Tigers
This was actually the game that started the college football madness on Saturday. But this wasn’t just any loss, this was a 41-10 beatdown at the hands of Texas A&M. While the Tigers came into this game riding high, with an offense that looked like a problem, they left College Station with more questions than answers.
Credit goes to Aggies QB Conner Weigman, who diced up the Missouri secondary and has Texas A&M looking like a team that will fight for a college football playoff spot. Just as we were all expecting, right?
Eli Drinkwitz said during the week that Mike Elko was playing games with the potential of Conner Weigman getting the start of Marcel Reed. But the only ones laughing after the game were the Aggies, who embarrassed the Tigers and sent them into a state of panic.
Next up, Missouri plays UMass, while Texas A&M gets a week off before playing Mississippi State.
What Happened In The Big Ten? USC And Michigan Lose Thrillers
Nope, the SEC wasn’t the only conference to eat themselves on Saturday. I know that Washington was favored to beat Michigan, but it’s still an upset when the No. 10 Wolverines were beaten by the Huskies. Talk about a rough game for Michigan, being out-gained 429 to 287 in total yards.
This was a brutal loss for Michigan, given that they had already been beaten by Texas. Having two losses by the end of the first weekend of October should all but end their chances of making the college football playoffs. Sure, anything could happen, but the loss to Washington will cost them.
But it was USC that suffered the most gut-wrenching loss, just in terms of how it played out. The trip to Minnesota was always weird looking on the schedule, and the outcome of this one lived up to the craziness of the day.
Yes, that was the Gophers going for the touchdown, rather than kick the field goal to take the lead. I’ll give PJ Fleck a lot of credit, as he makes these games worth watching, especially with his choice of ways to take the lead. It could’ve easily backfired, but Miller Moss found himself in a lot of trouble on the final drive.
For USC, their second loss of the season is going to sting for a while. Given that they look like a squad that’s struggling to find an identity of offense, there are a number of games remaining that look like potential losses. Next week’s game against Penn State just lost some luster, but nothing would surprise me anymore this season.
Other Games Of Note, Futures To Question
How about those SMU Mustangs? Going on the road and beating Louisville, as Rhet Lashlee has his team 5-1 on the season, looking good in the ACC right now.
In news outside the realm of good teams in college football, It’s time for UAB to move-on from Trent Dilfer. What was once a proud G-5 team that rose from the ashes of having its football program shut down, the Blazers are now an embarrassment to what Bill Clark rebuilt and Bryan Vincent helped stay on-course. It’s time for the team in my home-state to make the move and pay the buyout. They shouldn’t have hired Dilfer to begin with, as his high school resume was worthless.
Just a wild weekend of college football, which started on Friday night with UNLV and Syracuse giving us a thrilling game. That’s what this beautiful sport will give us, when you least expect it.
Take a deep breath, regroup if your team lost, and prepare for another week of trash talk leading up to a crucial weekend of football.
Man, that was a fun Saturday.

Job Point YouthBuild participants demonstrated their construction skills and shared their personal stories at the Missouri Capitol in Jefferson City on April 21.
The event, hosted by the Missouri YouthBuild Coalition, brought together trainees, staff and partners from across the state, according to a community announcement. The day included hands-on construction demonstrations, youth-led advocacy and opportunities for participants to engage with policymakers.
A hands-on project
Trainees spent the morning constructing the framework of walls and portable chairs in teams, demonstrating the skills they are developing through YouthBuild programs in Columbia, St. Joseph and Cape Girardeau. At the end of the day, they assembled the walls to create a room, symbolizing the collaboration among trainees from different regions.
“It was a very good day. We had to build the chairs over there. I did a little measurement, cutting, all of that,” one Job Point YouthBuild student said in the announcement.
The experience highlighted not only technical skills, but also the importance of teamwork and communication, according to the announcement.
“Working together as a team, putting things together was exquisite. Communication was key,” another student shared in the announcement.
Sharing personal journeys
The event also provided a platform for participants to share their personal journeys. Many YouthBuild participants have faced significant barriers, including interruptions in education and limited access to employment opportunities. Through programs like Job Point’s YouthBuild, they are reconnecting with education, gaining workforce certifications and building pathways to meaningful careers, according to the announcement.
For students, the experience of participating in a statewide event and demonstrating their abilities in such a visible setting was both affirming and inspiring.
“I loved it! I had a great time. We built chairs. It was a good experience,” another participant said in the announcement.
Jerrell Morton, director of Job Point’s YouthBuild, emphasized the importance of visibility. Morton said in the announcement, “At its core, this day is about visibility — showing lawmakers, community leaders and the public what these young people are capable of. Our students aren’t just learning skills — they’re building confidence, leadership and a vision for their future.”
Addressing workforce needs
The event also highlighted the broader need for investment in workforce development initiatives like YouthBuild at the state level. Across Missouri, employers continue to report unfilled jobs and growing skills gaps. YouthBuild programs are helping to address that challenge by equipping young adults with practical training, work experience and the tools needed to succeed in high-demand industries such as construction, healthcare, IT and manufacturing.
For Job Point, participation in the event reinforced its commitment to empowering opportunity youth to overcome barriers, reclaim their education and achieve self-sufficiency and economic stability, according to the announcement.
“It’s a great experience. I love Job Point,” another student reflected in the announcement.
As the day concluded, trainees left with a new sense of confidence after meeting with their state representatives, senators and their staffers and standing up on the Missouri House and Senate floors, according to the announcement.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Missouri Supreme Court issued opinions Tuesday in two cases concerning the state’s latest redistricting map.
Both opinions found the map meets constitutional requirements. As it is already in effect, it will stay in effect.
“Today’s Missouri Supreme Court rulings are a huge victory for voters,” Gov. Mike Kehoe said in a statement. “Missourians are more alike than we are different, and our Missouri values — rooted in common sense, hard work, and personal responsibility — are stronger and far more aligned across both sides of the aisle than the extreme left-wing agendas pushed in states like New York, California, and Illinois. The Missouri First Map ensures those values are represented fairly and accurately at every level of government. This August, Missouri voters will head to the ballot box to vote for candidates in these newly drawn districts.”
The opinion in Elizabeth Healey, et al. v. State of Missouri, et al. stated residents failed to meet the burden required by Missouri law to demonstrate the map was unconstitutional.
This case raised an issue with Article III, Section 45 of the Missouri Constitution, which states that districts “shall be comprised of contiguous territory as compact and as nearly equal in population as may be.” But the court found the concerned residents were unable to prove the “legislature improperly deviated from the directives of article III, section 45.”
The second lawsuit, Jake Maggard, et al. v. State of Missouri, et al., took issue with which map was currently in effect. Residents gathered signatures they believed should stop the new map from going into effect until put before Missouri voters.
However, the court ruled unanimously that nothing in the constitution allows a referendum petition alone to automatically suspend legislation. It has yet to be determined if the referendum petition filing was “legal, sufficient and timely,” per the opinion.
Additional redistricting cases remain ongoing.
NAACP, et al. v. Kehoe will go before the Missouri Supreme Court on May 27. This case argues the governor didn’t have the power to call the “extraordinary session” in which the new redistricting map was adopted.
Additionally, People Not Politicians v. Hoskins will go before a judge in July. Though in a lower court, this case concerns the validity of the signatures people gathered to force a statewide vote on the map.
