Loser: Auburn (Unranked)

What a disappointing season it has been for Auburn. The offense has been a disaster and the defense is showing that they are young and inexperienced after losing so many faces off last year’s team. Bo Nix can’t find any consistency and the offensive line has not done very well in protecting him either.

It’s only going to get tougher for the Tigers from here as they still have games against Alabama and Texas A&M. The Tigers offense must figure things out quickly for their season to turn around.

Loser: North Carolina (Down to No. 13)

I don’t know that anyone actually thought that North Carolina was the fifth-best team in the country, but it was not less shocking to see them lose to a Florida State team that has been getting bullied all season long.

The Tar Heels were down 31-7 at the half and were unable to complete the comeback and avoid the upset. North Carolina still has an opportunity to make a run to the ACC championship, but they need to figure things out quickly or their season could start to slip away.
