The college football Rivalry Week come every year on the last week of the season. Every year we see some unexpected outcomes. This year was no different.
In college football’s Rivalry Week, there were a total of three Top-10 teams who lost, all of which fell to lower-ranked opponents. Additionally, all of these teams had at least one loss already on their record. Therefore, any chance that either one of these teams had to make the College Football Playoff is essentially gone.
The one team, out of these three that does not make the list as a “worst loss” is LSU’s loss to Texas A&M. The game had to go to seven overtime periods before the Aggies finally pulled it out, 74-72. Many would argue that the LSU Tigers were incredibly unlucky at many points in the game and that the referees played a large role in the loss. Because of all this, the Tigers get a pass on their third loss of the season.
Let’s take a look at the teams who truly did have bad losses. We start with a game that wasn’t so much a historic rivalry game, but is starting to become a yearly battle.
