The Marty McFly College Football Rankings Week 4: Rocky Top tops the list after holding off Florida

Reward be to the faculty soccer gods who offered me with sufficient undefeated, resurgent packages to proceed to populate this listing. Of the seven groups to have curried Michael J. Fox’s favor, three of them have two losses. Miami, Florida, and Texas all misplaced once more Saturday, and solely one among them to a ranked opponent.

The Hurricanes didn’t solely lose to Center Tennessee State, they obtained damaged Bane fashion and despatched off to The Pit to rehab that damaged again till they’ll climb out freed from a tether. Every week and a half in the past, Tyler van Dyke was being lauded as the kind of quarterback the U has been lacking, and but he went lacking by his coach’s determination, getting benched within the second half of the 45-31 loss.

The Longhorns fell to Texas Tech’s backup QB, and it was solely honest that the Purple Raiders evened the taking part in subject as Texas additionally was beginning its second stringer. After doubling up Tech, 70-35, a 12 months in the past, Texas misplaced the turnover battle (2-0), the time of possession tug of battle (36 minutes to 24), the entire offense output (479 to 426), and the sport (37-34).

They wanted a Bert Auburn 48-yard-field aim to ship it to OT, the place Bijan Robinson coughed up the soccer on the primary carry of the additional interval. Maybe Steve Sarkisian knew one thing we didn’t as a result of he was hesitant to provide his star working again the ball in regulation regardless of Robinson’s 15 carries for 101 yards and two scores throughout that point. He helped his workforce earn a 31-17 lead late within the third quarter, and solely touched the ball 5 extra instances all sport.

I’d write about Florida’s loss to Tennessee within the intro, however they’re No. 5 on this rating, and I’ll attempt to clarify away the confusion proper now I assume.
