Loser: Pittsburgh (Unranked)

Just when it looked like the Pittsburgh Panthers were taking control of the ACC and possibly being a darkhorse playoff contender, they laid an egg on Saturday against Miami. The Panthers still control their own destiny in the ACC Coastal, but any shot at the playoff is out the door. The Pitt defense could not stop Tyler Van Dyke and the Miami offense and that negated what a nice day that quarterback Kenny Pickett had.

The Panthers still have a lot to play for, but this was another gut punch on Saturday. Pitt has become known as a team that does not play as well when they have expectations and Saturday was another frustrating loss. Keep an eye on how the Panthers bounce back.

Loser: Iowa (Down to No. 19)

It is a surprise that the Hawkeyes are even ranked today. This was a team that had been playing with fire the first few weeks of the season and it has caught up with them. Iowa again looked dreadful on offense against Wisconsin and that has taken away from what a good defense the Hawkeyes have. Iowa has now lost control of the Big Ten West and are in danger of losing some more games the rest of the way. As good of a start as the season was, that has quickly gone away.
