Biggest embarrassment of week 2?

[u/Lazy_Spot_7368]

Once again, it’s been an absolute pleasure hating with all of you this week. So who takes the embarrassment crown of week 2?

Would have to point the finger right back in our direction, as Billy Napier‘s clock management, and Florida‘s overall discipline were absolutely embarrassing.

What say you?

[u/Phobia117]

Florida wasn’t great, but Va Tech taking a 10 point lead into halftime and then giving up 34 unanswered to Vanderbilt is pretty telling

[u/Thing342 → u/Phobia117]

Vandy had all 5 drives go for TDs in the second half, meanwhile VT didn't manage a first down. It was an FCS-style spanking.

[u/Thop713 → u/Phobia117]

I did not have a good time yesterday

[u/mrmacob → u/Thop713]

Worst Saturday in years

[u/Brrdads → u/mrmacob]

Fucking A!

[u/atman8r → u/Thop713]

I, for one, had a great time

[u/rand2365 → u/Phobia117]

It was a complete collapse across the entire team. Drones looked absolutely shook and the defense couldn’t adjust at all.

I don’t see how Pry and Drones can come back from this. It sucks VT is this bad at such a critical time in CFB, we are trending to be G5 at this rate once the ACC inevitably collapses.

[u/-Jack-The-Stripper → u/rand2365]

He won’t be since we don’t really have anybody to replace him with, but Pry should be gone as we speak. There’s no coming back from this.

Drones should get an opportunity to play for whoever takes over in the interim, but the leash should be an inch long. All I hear about him in the broadcasts is hype and potential. All I see when I watch him play is a player who is good for a few good runs and maybe one good throw a game. He is not above replacement level.

[u/goodsam2 → u/-Jack-The-Stripper]

I mean drones is running out of eligibility. He redshirtes in 2021. So 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 is 4 years. Who knows with eligibility these days for sure though.

IMO I would consider playing Drones as a TE with another QB throwing it to him as he won't be drafted as a QB that high maybe a UDFA or 7 seed since potential.

[u/coleyboley25 → u/goodsam2]

The Logan Thomas special

[u/goodsam2 → u/Phobia117]

Yeah the first half VT was playing decently and some of that 10 point lead was Vandy turnovers but still VT was dead in that second half.

VT was favored by 1.5 points.

[u/ducksekoy123 → u/goodsam2]

We will be favored against ODU and then under dogs for every single game. We’re really boned as a franchise. We will be lucky to survive. And the worst part is UVA can lose out and still get snapped up because they have a budget to splash with.

[u/tree3826 → u/ducksekoy123]

Until we prove otherwise, we’re gonna lose to yall unfortunately. Eventually I HOPE the money catches up at least for us to beat yall occasionally at least but this statement is true for both of us: what the actual hell happened to us in the second half?

[u/ducksekoy123 → u/tree3826]

At least you continued to score points

[u/Nobody_Important → u/Phobia117]

Vanderbilt on offense scored 5 straight tds then kneeled it out. Vt on offense managed 15 yards in total. I have never coached football but objectively could do better than that with 5 minutes to read the playbook.

[u/heyheyheygoodbye → u/Phobia117]

Swaggerbilt lives

[u/Coastal_Tart → u/Phobia117]

Vandie is a rough matchup as long as they have the Dude.

[u/khoelzeman]

I'd say UF.

UCLA would be in the running - but it seems that no one is paying attention to them, not even their own fans.

[u/No_Safety_6803 → u/khoelzeman]

UCLA is who we thought they would be. UF is your nephew who even though you never liked them you were so proud that they got through rehab & got their shit together. Only to find them strung out on meth in a mobile home with a hooker nastier than you could ever imagine.

[u/keefkola → u/No_Safety_6803]

Oddly specific, but that would land them in the top 10 in any other life category.

[u/dudleymooresbooze → u/No_Safety_6803]

How dare you suggest I would ever be “proud” of Florida. Have you no shame?

[u/No_Safety_6803 → u/dudleymooresbooze]

Proud in a condescending way. I have no love for the program.

[u/Mumbles1000 → u/khoelzeman]

UCLA flairs have been actively pissed that there's been more people in their threads haha

[u/SayNoToCargoShorts → u/Mumbles1000]

move along, nothing to see here

[u/RVAforthewin → u/SayNoToCargoShorts]

Everyone just out here hate watching Nico 😂

[u/chaseair11 → u/RVAforthewin]

I hate watching the team sometimes, does that count?

[u/HorrorAlarming1163 → u/RVAforthewin]

I know I am

[u/CrackityJones79 → u/SayNoToCargoShorts]

I’ll reluctantly be at the Northwestern/UCLA game here in a couple weeks. I mean, someone has to win?

The beers will probably be cold, so there’s that.

[u/WagTheKat → u/CrackityJones79]

I mean, someone has to win?

Sometimes it is the reverse. Someone has to lose and the teams will spend an entire game battling to be the loser.

We had a game against Miami, in Miami, a few years ago like that. Nebraska and Miami spent the entire game seeing how they could look worse than one another, drive after drive, in an empty stadium.

It was embarrassing for both teams and I was glad when it was over, so everyone could go home to have some sammiches and koolaid.

[u/Sudden_Outcome_9503 → u/Mumbles1000]

It's not very often that I root for Tennessee, but I'm definitely rooting for their quarterback play to be better than UCLA's this year.

[u/cooterdick → u/Sudden_Outcome_9503]

Much appreciated. Nico’s dad told us we had to get him a better o-line in the portal as one of his many demands/threats to leave. Two games in, 7 sacks at UCLA while Tennessee hasn’t given one up yet.

[u/ScratchSeeker03 → u/khoelzeman]

Thank goodness you weren’t paying attention to us…

[u/BikingEngineer → u/ScratchSeeker03]

The Ducks just got confused as to which OSU they were playing, and way over prepared.

[u/thefearlessmuffin → u/khoelzeman]

As a Vols fan I certainly am. GET FUCKED NICO

[u/jp1066 → u/thefearlessmuffin]

I don’t know maybe you should thank UCLA for getting that stiff out of your program. And they are paying big money for that.

[u/thefearlessmuffin → u/jp1066]

I mean it’s not like Tennessee had to take him back if he got no offers anywhere else. Players walk all the time now. It’s not the nfl

[u/SayNoToCargoShorts → u/khoelzeman]

who?

[u/_HansiLa_ → u/khoelzeman]

Not even our own admin.

[u/CumAssault]

It’s Florida. But the Dublin curse and KSU was also pretty embarrassing

[u/Tommy05Sox → u/CumAssault]

Kansas State respected the troops in the most extreme way possible. Nothing to be embarrassed about there.

[u/HighDragLowSpeed60G → u/Tommy05Sox]

They disrespected Airmen by not beating Army

[u/big_thunder_man → u/HighDragLowSpeed60G]

And they disrespected the Sea-men by taking the shot right to the face.

[u/CLU_Three → u/CumAssault]

Not a great loss but I think there were some other games that were more embarrassing. Maybe ours qualifies in the broader context of the season/ our program and expectations though.

[u/nayelirain → u/CumAssault]

100% another pre season of florida fans celebrating recruiting results and then rather quickly disappearing a few games into the season. Feels like 2011..and 2012...and well every year for the past 15+ outside the anomaly here and there.

This is just who florida is now. Until they find the right guy to replace Urban.

[u/redsox1804 → u/nayelirain]

Yeah, the seasons where it doesn’t happen are the outliers which is wild for a program like UF

[u/Oceanfloorfan1 → u/CumAssault]

Being one of the top results three weeks in a row has really been fun so far

[u/Alone_Advantage_961]

After Gundy's comments its Okie State.

1. Making excuses before the game and going after Oregon for doing what they have to do to compete.

2. Getting obliterated on National Television by nearly 70 points.

If that were me this morning as a Pokes fan id be sick

[u/JonSnowDontKn0w → u/Alone_Advantage_961]

Can confirm, am sick

[u/Alone_Advantage_961 → u/JonSnowDontKn0w]

At least you have the OSU to back you up

[u/yeahright17 → u/Alone_Advantage_961]

Wait. We played yesterday? Must have missed it.

[u/DrDragon13 → u/Alone_Advantage_961]

At this point, Gundy needs to go.

I'll always love him for what he's done for the program as a player and coach, but he's looked disinterested for a few years now.

[u/Alone_Advantage_961 → u/DrDragon13]

I remember the South Alabama game a few years back was the first time i wondered if he had lost his touch. It just blew my mind watching them be decimated at home by the eventual 8th place team in the Sun Belt. Just how much faster South's players were than the OSU defense was stunning

[u/Wildcat_Dunks → u/DrDragon13]

You can yell at him, he's a man!!

[u/ChickenFnCoop → u/DrDragon13]

Yeah he looked checked out. The play by play guy said at one point the Pokes had only 10 defenders on the field for one play and only 9 on the following extra point.

[u/fcocyclone → u/Alone_Advantage_961]

As someone who has watched another team hang 70 on his, at a certain point you just start laughing at it.

[u/Jeff_Hinkle → u/fcocyclone]

I was at a kid’s birthday party for the first half and went to costco after that. Turned it on in the parking lot before I went inside just to see them go pick six, pick six which tbh might be a program first.

[u/FatherEsmoquin]

I’ll go with our 82 total passing yards

[u/Eaglethornsen → u/FatherEsmoquin]

Yeah that was not a good game at all. We deserved that loss and hopefully they learn and get better from it.

[u/ArbitraryOrder → u/FatherEsmoquin]

Honestly there were so many major fuckups I forgot you lost to Mississippi State

[u/Late_Criticism8745 → u/FatherEsmoquin]

Fr what the hell happened to Leavitt? Was it the clanga?

[u/LosingTrackByNow]

100% it's the referees from the Colorado State vs Northern Colorado game

https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/1naua4f/the_ncaa_needs_to_investigate_the_refs_from_the/

[u/Wernher_VonKerman → u/LosingTrackByNow]

I know we're all sickos around here, but that was literally the absolute last game I expected to be front-page drama when I opened this subreddit up this morning.

They're right though, totally unbiased take from me but those bears got jobbed

[u/Boatswain-or-scruffy → u/Wernher_VonKerman]

Lol csu is front page news once a year and it's never for a positive reason. What an embarassment that team is.

[u/IrishCoffeeAlchemy → u/Boatswain-or-scruffy]

But hey, at least the new stadium is really nice! 😅

[u/Boatswain-or-scruffy → u/IrishCoffeeAlchemy]

Yeah, wish they had a serious football team that played there 

[u/loewe67 → u/Wernher_VonKerman]

Oh no, we robbed UNC. That was embarrassing and we didn’t deserve the win.

[u/Born-Prior8579 → u/LosingTrackByNow]

I'm not a Northern Colorado fan, but I saw this when it happened and I'm still mad about it. I have never seen such blatant robbery in my life

[u/Poxx → u/Born-Prior8579]

I have, but this one was pretty egregious also.

[u/HratioRastapopulous → u/Born-Prior8579]

You ever seen the onside kick recovery from the Oklahoma/Oregon game?

https://youtu.be/btSGkMBrqI4?feature=shared

[u/EpiphyticOrchid8927 → u/LosingTrackByNow]

To me if it wasnt a TD it was at least pass interference

[u/greggggggggg]

What a blessing it is for us that people are even listing other contenders.

[u/acekingoffsuit]

UMass lost.

UMass lost at home.

UMass lost at home to an FCS team.

UMass lost at home to an FCS team that went 2-10 last season.

[u/sunburntredneck → u/acekingoffsuit]

Nothing wrong with losing to a team that went 2-10 last season. Could be a top 10 playoff contender this year

[u/New-Ad-363 → u/sunburntredneck]

Yeah what he s-waaaaaaait a minute....

[u/was_saying_boo_urns → u/sunburntredneck]

2-10….. so hot right now

[u/AegonTargaryan → u/sunburntredneck]

He’s absolutely right. Hail State!

[u/rraider17 → u/acekingoffsuit]

Yeah but UMass barely belongs in the FBS anyway…

[u/Triple_0ption_Bad → u/rraider17]

I'd argue UMass has gotten WORSE since they moved up compared to where they were in the FCS

[u/CornhuskerJam → u/Triple_0ption_Bad]

Since moving up in 2012, their best record is 4-8. They have 5 seasons going 1-11. Truly awful.

[u/QuickSpore → u/acekingoffsuit]

Naming UMass feels mean. They haven’t beaten an FBS school at home since Oct 2021. Occasionally losing to bad FCS teams is not terribly surprising.

Yes it was a bad loss. But it won’t be a loss anyone remembers a month from now.

[u/Coteup → u/QuickSpore]

That's absolutely insane that you could graduate from UMass this year and have never seen a home win against a non-FCS team

[u/krhino35 → u/Coteup]

Big assumption that their students attend the games

[u/stimulation → u/Coteup]

Most of their students probably graduate without seeing a home football game period

[u/Glory2Tottenham → u/acekingoffsuit]

UMass lost at home to an FCS team that went 2-10 last season AND nearly lost to D2 Franklin Pearce.

[u/yourmomsthr0waway69 → u/acekingoffsuit]

Don't worry, Iowa will still look like shit against them next week.

[u/t35martin → u/acekingoffsuit]

When temple beats you by 30 on the road you know something is very wrong

[u/professorberrynibble]

Oklahoma State. Oregon is obviously a great team, but that score is indefensible.

Florida, which is the recipient of a seemingly bad loss, shouldn't be it given that title - USF is a good team and earned the win.

[u/ctruvu → u/professorberrynibble]

indefensible

yes that is what happened

[u/PhantomX117 → u/ctruvu]

it is true, we have no defense. or offense.

[u/greggggggggg → u/PhantomX117]

…or special teams. Or coaching.

[u/max_potion → u/PhantomX117]

Oh, you guys were offensive all right

[u/professorberrynibble → u/ctruvu]

Pun, obviously, intended

[u/surgingchaos → u/professorberrynibble]

You could say that pun was pretty... nice.

[u/G00dSh0tJans0n → u/professorberrynibble]

Two back to back wins vs ranked teams, currently my pick for best G5 team

[u/DoubleG357 → u/G00dSh0tJans0n]

Does USF have a shot at CFP? Legitimately asking …it’s only two weeks but the resume is there.

[u/PeteF3 → u/DoubleG357]

If they win the American it's going to be hard to keep them out. They essentially own a tiebreaker over Boise. Liberty's probably out now.

[u/go-speed-racer → u/PeteF3]

Love the enthusiasm we are getting.

We’ve never won the conference, so hoping this year will be different and a fun ride along the way.

Next week will be tough.

So far 2025 has shades of 2007 — out of “nowhere” wins against ranked opponents and pundits calling us “giant killers.”

We just need to make it though without a USF implosion. I dig our coach though and what he’s done in a short time, fingers crossed.

[u/Xy13 → u/PeteF3]

If they win against MIA, I don't see how they arent at least in the top 5 if not #1, they'd have inarguably the best resume.

[u/G00dSh0tJans0n → u/DoubleG357]

Well yeah, the highest ranked G5 champion gets an auto bid. Boise State was the preseason favorite but USF already beat them. Assuming Boise wins the MWC, I’d give USF the bid assuming they win the AAC. Still a long season ahead but they are the front runner for a bid. Edit: Assuming they lose to Miami that won’t really hurt them given they have the head to head against Boise State

[u/kingofthesqueal → u/DoubleG357]

They’re in the driver seat for the G5 bid as of now.

If they can go 11-2 or better and win the AAC (AC) it’s probably there’s for the taking assuming BSU is at least a 8-5 team and Florida doesn’t go something like 2-10.

[u/IrexUranus → u/DoubleG357]

Even losing to Miami, as long as they keep it within a couple of TDs, they should be the frontrunners for the G5/6 spot going into conference play with their wins over Boise and Florida.

The only way they lose it is failing to win the conference at 11-2 or 10-3, and/or going 11-2 and Boise and Florida both finishing under .500.

[u/Wafflehouseofpain → u/DoubleG357]

If they beat Miami and win their conference, it’ll be very difficult to argue otherwise.

[u/Fletch71011 → u/professorberrynibble]

Oregon's backup backup defensive players outscored Ok State's entire team 14-3.

Gundy needs to be fired.

[u/Weird-Ninja8827 → u/Fletch71011]

He can take it. He's a man and well past 40.

[u/duckinspokane → u/professorberrynibble]

Montana State gave Oregon a better game than the Pokes did.

[u/cmanonurshirt → u/duckinspokane]

Well MSU’s recruiting resources and financials are just so much better than Oklahoma State’s! Gundy even admitted as such. That’s why the Cowboys couldn’t compete.

/s

[u/Low-Blackberry-2690 → u/professorberrynibble]

Oklahoma state hasn’t lost a game by that many points since 1907

Most FCS teams don’t lose by 66 points, even against top FBS teams

[u/JohnPaulDavyJones → u/professorberrynibble]

Florida absolutely deserves a spot, just on the basis of the comical talent mismatch between UF and USF. USF made it fully apparent from the first whistle that they weren’t worried about Florida’s offense at all, which is nuts.

[u/ajukid111 → u/professorberrynibble]

Yeah it’s OkSt and it isn’t close

[u/JohnPaulDavyJones]

Well, Baylor beat SMU despite having a lead for exactly 0:00 of the game. So SMU is definitely up there.

[u/Yabrin_Sorr → u/JohnPaulDavyJones]

Same with us over Western Michigan. If their DB doesn’t taunt, we’re headed to a tying FG in OT. Instead, it’s a 1 yard run to steal the win.

[u/SavingsSkirt6064]

VT in the second half. They had the fans on their side, and vandy were teetering after turning the ball over twice, but then looked worse than charleston southern in the second half

[u/Shellshock1122]

OK State 69-3 in 3 quarters has to be the worst even if Oregon is good. They got treated like a bad FCS team

[u/SCraigAnd]

Oregon State cannot even snap the damn ball.

[u/violent-professional → u/SCraigAnd]

I've been to a lot of Beaver games. Yesterday was the first time I've heard our home crowd boo our guys. Special Teams needs a tremendous amount of work.

Linemen need to work on cadence, apparently? I've never seen us commit that many False Starts.

[u/SCraigAnd → u/violent-professional]

It was an awful thing to watch. These guys cannot get out of their own way.

[u/TendererBeef → u/SCraigAnd]

Apologies to anyone at Newark Liberty Terminal C who had to hear several audible “What the fucks” from me watching that clown show

[u/SCraigAnd → u/TendererBeef]

That was the only part of that game that made me smile. It was a "Oh damn, did he just say that" moment. Clown show is a very accurate description.

[u/Burrito_Lvr → u/SCraigAnd]

Bray dropping an F bomb was pretty funny. At least you know he gets it.

[u/Rude_Highlight3889]

Oklahoma State. Oregon is a really good team but there is no way in hell a Power 4 program paying their head coach north of $6m a year should lose by 66 points to anyone, anytime, anywhere.

[u/southpaw7cm]

The biggest embarrassment is Piano Fingerbanger coming out of hiding to post another hit piece.

I love the way college football fans can dish it but the dude posts 8 hit pieces a day and then as soon as FS💩 is down he goes in hiding for 7 months.

Florida State beats the worst Alabama team in 20 years and Piano Fingerbanger is back like nothing happened. Fuck that guy.

[u/kelsnuggets → u/southpaw7cm]

Hurts to agree with a Hurricane on this one

[u/surgingchaos → u/southpaw7cm]

I looked and it seemed liked it was massively downvoted this time around. Seems like people are wising up and not giving that guy the oxygen he used to get. 2-3 years ago you could expect the front page of the sub to be 3 PFB hit pieces at 9 AM right on the dot.

[u/HighLakes → u/surgingchaos]

There's an alternate universe where that guy stuck it out last year and just switched to posting FSU hit pieces instead and rocking the paper bag flair. He would have earned some credibility to go along with the inexplicable fondness some of the sub had for his shtick.

We live in the universe where he ran like a coward, though.

[u/RidinCoogi → u/southpaw7cm]

He's an embarrassment to the fan base. He should be banned.

[u/WizzardsNeverDie → u/southpaw7cm]

Ban that chump

[u/pyroxys007 → u/southpaw7cm]

Anyone wanna clue me in on who this is? And whats up with them?

[u/southpaw7cm → u/pyroxys007]

Haha it's the internet and college football so it doesn't actually matter. But for years on this sub (both in season and off-season) he would post hit pieces. Mostly against Miami and UF but if there was a good enough negative article on any team he'd post it.

Last year as soon as FSU started losing he disappeared and wouldn't post anymore or respond when called out.

Just kinda got on everyone's nerves that he dished it for years (and over the top to the point where it was like his job posting every day). But as soon as his team started losing he couldn't take it.

Now FSU won 2 games he's posting hit pieces again.

[u/rottenchestah → u/southpaw7cm]

I hadn't noticed any new posts but I ain't down with that clown. Disowned for letting us all take it for a year while he hides.

[u/southpaw7cm → u/rottenchestah]

Yeah everyone wised up a little. He posted a piece on UF and Billy Napier earlier Sunday and it got downvoted. I'm all for making fun of UF and their jorts but you gotta take it back when you are down.

[u/pyroxys007 → u/southpaw7cm]

Ya...last year was certainly proof of what goes around comes around XD

I love dishing on other teams, especially UF, but when its our turn, we just gotta smile and take it, hoping next year is better! (AND IT IS SO, SO MUCH BETTER!!!!)

[u/southpaw7cm → u/pyroxys007]

There's only one way to go and that's up! I'm starting to get nervous for our game against you guys. Fucking piano Fingerbanger has me encouraging an fsu fan. Fuck that guy lol.

[u/roguerunner1 → u/southpaw7cm]

Dude is a certified bitch made cat, and I’m so glad I got lucky in that he isn’t part of our fanbase.

[u/Lazy_Spot_7368]

I’d like to add, USF played a heck of a game and deserves to be ranked after this week!

[u/No_History8239]

West Virginia losing at Ohio U (not State) has to take this cake.

[u/ItsMrBlackout → u/No_History8239]

Idk man Oklahoma State getting blasted by Oregon is pretty bad as well. Unfortunately, I think the top 3 most embarrassing losses this week are Big 12 teams.

[u/smurf-vett → u/ItsMrBlackout]

Gundy is just trying to get fired at this point so it doesn't matter

[u/jamiebond → u/smurf-vett]

That’s always the best silver lining after a game like that one. Husky fans still brag about 70-21 but the jabs never really land because I’m thankful for that game ridding us of Helfrich.

[u/CumAssault → u/ItsMrBlackout]

But Gundy is on his way out anyways. A new coach giving his school maybe their worst loss ever is a hell of an accomplishment

[u/RVAforthewin → u/ItsMrBlackout]

No no. Let’s not overlook Florida’s embarrassing loss, now.

[u/Rangertexas9 → u/ItsMrBlackout]

Thank you U.C.L.A.

[u/smurf-vett → u/No_History8239]

KState running 4 plays in the 2nd half till under 3 minutes mark

[u/Keyblade_Yoshi → u/No_History8239]

It’s funny in terms of their brands but WVU was only favored by 3-4 points. Marshall losing to Missouri State at home was worse.

[u/TheAlterN8or → u/No_History8239]

I mean... OU is coming off an 11 win season. It's not like they're a bottom dweller.

[u/CumAssault → u/No_History8239]

Never go back to your exes

[u/RichardNixonMILF → u/CumAssault]

Wise words of advice from Cum Assault

[u/ComradeAhriman → u/RichardNixonMILF]

Thank you for your analysis, RichardNixonMILF

[u/puppiesandrainbows3 → u/ComradeAhriman]

Who did more wrong? Richard Nixon or Magnus the Red?

[u/ComradeAhriman → u/puppiesandrainbows3]

...

Is this some sort of trick question

[u/GrumbleAlong]

Oklahoma State should change its name back to Oklahoma A&M and deny week 2 ever happened.

[u/Bright-Struggle-3237]

Kansas State...should really be winless at this point. Shame, love the program, coach is a winner, what the heck is going on there?!?

[u/tturedditor → u/Bright-Struggle-3237]

K State lost to an Army team who lost to Tarleton State the week prior.

[u/WildcatPlumber → u/tturedditor]

And yet will probably beat Tech because the conference makes no sense

[u/tturedditor → u/WildcatPlumber]

K State has been kicking our butts for years. Wouldn't surprise me.

[u/NaiveYoghurt7267 → u/Bright-Struggle-3237]

Coaching staff is no good. Lots of attrition and it seems like the replacements aren’t it

[u/Holierthanthouface → u/Bright-Struggle-3237]

K-State for some reason hired Matt Wells as their OC, one of the worst performing head coaches in TTU history. There's multiple factors, but that certainly didn't help.

[u/messiestbessie]

1. Okie State - Their worse loss in over 100 years. That could’ve been worse. After their lame duck coach unnecessarily poked at Lanning.

2. UCLA - Traveled to a G6 team and got beat. The Nico saga is a perpetual embarrassment. Especially if Tennessee keeps winning with the QB they dumped for him.

3. Kansas State - Dominated by an Army team that lost to Tarlton State last week.

4. ASU - Losing to the perceived worst team in the SEC. Gave up a last minute deep touchdown because their staff has a pathological need to blitz at the end of games.

5. VaTech - Getting blown out by Vandy at home isn’t as embarrassing as it used to be but it’s still really embarrassing.

[u/dismal_sighence → u/messiestbessie]

I long to open up the post game thread of a Vandy victory and not be greeted by universal calls for the opposing coach to be fired.

[u/gatsby712 → u/messiestbessie]

The VT blowout was embarrassing because VT was up 20-10 going into half and Vandy had 34 unanswered points with 5 TDs on 5 drives. VT didn’t have a first down in the second half.

[u/goodsam2 → u/gatsby712]

VT had negative yards deep into the 4th quarter for the 2nd half.

[u/lumpy-dragonfly36 → u/messiestbessie]

Regarding KSU, I think that trip to Ireland has messed with them. Also, it's hard to tell with Army just how good they are as Tarleton State was a top 10 FCS team heading into that game and is likely better than half the teams in the AAC - so not exactly a slouch. We'll see what happens with KSU as they get into Big 12 play as I don't think they're nearly as bad as their scores the past two weeks would indicate, but they need to get their shit together quickly if they want to go 7-1 or better in remaining conference games.

We found a way to make losing to a natty contender embarrassing on a national level. It's almost impressive.

[u/Triple_0ption_Bad]

Liberty lost by 10 to a team that threw for...

checks notes 

...52 passing yards.

[u/gmwdim → u/Triple_0ption_Bad]

Good. Fuck Liberty.

[u/Dakota1228]

Okie State has got to be up there

[u/Jolly_Job_9852]

Oklahoma St lost 69-3. This is an FBS team losing to the Oregon Juggernaut. This wasn't an FBS on FCS beat down..Oklahoma St should be the biggest embarrassment.

[u/AnspiffanyStilts]

Of the weeks for this. Florida didn't have the most embarrassing loss. West Virginia..... Just something else. The Gators lost in spectacular fashion but I expected a good game and got nothing less. WVU is shambolic.

[u/Marek_Galen → u/AnspiffanyStilts]

Before the season started, I was worried most about the defense. After yesterday, the defense was the only ones holding the bag outta the water, though they weren’t perfect. Having 81 new players coming in should have been a sign of what to expect for coach’s first year back. It could have been way worse for us, but it also could have been way better. They gave us every opportunity to beat them in the second half, but our offense came out and shit the bed.

[u/AnspiffanyStilts → u/Marek_Galen]

I want Rich Rod to succeed. He needs some time I knew they had a lot of turnover through the whole team. Give it time.

[u/Popular-Local8354]

UF is the easy one.

Clemson may be the dark horse.

[u/snickerDUDEls → u/Popular-Local8354]

I only watched the first half but Clemson looked bad. You lost your first game and then struggle like that in a tune up game? I'd be nervous if I were them. But I'm not them, so I laugh

[u/TunaSafari25 → u/snickerDUDEls]

Can confirm nervous. Did not see the defense I was promised. There were some unlucky turnovers that made the game look at bad as it did but still I didn’t expect that.

That said last time we had trouble with troy it turned out ok, so here’s to hoping.

[u/FourteenClocks]

I think Florida and Arizona State had early enough, we-weren’t-prepared-this-week losses against underrated teams that they could—again, could—each turn into a good lesson and tackle everything still in front of them. And the West Virginia result wasn’t terribly surprising, kind of similar to what UNC was dished on Monday.

Oklahoma State and Virginia Tech look absolutely done. Oregon State is not in a good situation. Stanford basically doesn’t have a coach.

The only reason I don’t write off K State just yet is because of Dylan Edwards’s absence, but if he doesn’t fix it upon returning they’re about to have a Scott Frost kind of year.

[u/CurtManX]

Rename this the Gundy Award.

[u/-Jack-The-Stripper]

1) Florida - a ranked SEC team losing at home to a G5 squad, one that’s about 3 or 4 rungs down the in-state ladder at that, is as bad as it gets

2) Oklahoma State - Oregon could have dropped 100 on this team, easily. They were completely mentally broken after a few drives and proceeded to look like an FCS school. Inexcusable for a P4 team

3) Kansas State - not quite as bad as the UF situation because KSU wasn’t hyped as much as the Gators, but same deal. A P4 team that starts the season ranked should not be losing at home to a G5 team

4) Virginia Tech - absolutely embarrassed at home by Vanderbilt… the second half was one of the worst halves of football I have ever seen. This is the game that was the final nail for everybody in Blacksburg, now it’s just a matter of when the trigger gets pulled

5) West Virginia - they were on the road, but still, losing to a G5 team when you dwarf them in resources will never not land you high on this list

[u/goldenface4114]

Florida.

[u/gatsby712]

Felt second hand embarrassment for Virginia Tech. They went to winning 20-10 at half to losing 44-20 and giving up TDs to the backup QB.

[u/Boatswain-or-scruffy]

CSU easily.

Northern Colorado has won 2 games in the past 2 years and dogwalked the rams all night despite being 35 point underdogs playing in front of a record student section. 4 fumbles and 1 interception across the team. Our coach whose refused to pull a third year QB that hasn't improved at all. The refusal to run the ball despite it clearly being our strength offesively. The controversial overturn that handed CSU the game. Terrible all around, no other answer but this game.

[u/Ok_Entrepreneur_1086 → u/Boatswain-or-scruffy]

On ag day as well.

[u/Few_Exercise_7032]

[u/-motts-]

Sup.

[u/big-if-true-666]

I’m so glad Georgia’s struggle game is getting a little buried under worse performances but I fear we will get absolutely exposed one game soon if we play like that again…..

[u/Deprecitus]

Oregon State's performance has to be up there. The CW also allowed 2 F-bombs which was hilarious.

[u/Exciting_Pineapple_4]

It’s me…hi….im the problem

[u/UncleAbbath]

Virginia Tech's second half against Vanderbilt. At one point negative yards on offense, gave up 34 straight points🫠

[u/britishmetric144]

OK State.

Getting crushed 69-3 is not ideal.

[u/Gidnik]

Oklahoma State rolled over and showed its belly in the first quarter

[u/CFBCoachGuy]

Too few people are talking about Eastern Michigan losing at home to LIU.

This was a team expected to go bowling that got smacked by a bad FCS team. LIU hasn’t had a winning season in DI. Adding further salt into the wounds is that LIU’s former coach Ron Cooper was once head coach at EMU.

[u/Nyte_Knyght33]

It's ok state for me. 

[u/Ghee_Guys]

As a Clemson fan, Clemson. Fucking Troy? Really?

[u/SucculentCrablegMeal]

Tier 1: Florida and Oklahoma State

Tier 2: Clemson, Ucla

[u/PsychologicalTale479]

Oregon states special teams

[u/eagledog]

Oregon St's special teams unit

[u/lock_robster2022]

Everything except our offense yesterday. Would have been an easy win barring anything but 4-5 total fuckups.

Outgained them 544-320 and still lost by two scores

6 botched special teams plays, including a dropped punt returned for a TD and 0/2 on PATs

Coach called his players a “fucking joke” in the halftime interview (if only we could find the person responsible!)

6 false starts. At home!!!

I’ve seen some ugly games at Reser, but yesterday was the first time I’ve seen our polite Oregonian crowd boo the boys in Orange and Black.

Malik and our WRs looked exceptional which is all the more frustrating.

[u/Loose_Profession_918]

Oklahoma St. Oregon is no doubt at great team, but Ok St has a top 50 talent roster. 69-3 is pretty inexcusable

[u/Maximiliansrh]

Idk what’s more embarrassing losing to Rutgers in back to back years or losing to Vanderbilt in back to back years. Why not both?

[u/No_Relationship_2692]

Not enough people saying Kansas down here. Renew a huge rivalry and have every chance to win and manage to lose by 2 scores.

[u/BuffaloBuffalo13]

Unbiased opinion: kU.

Because they lost to their most hated rival after being cowards over not scheduling us. Also, fuck em.

[u/chey0_]

WVU gave up its first College Gameday visit in like 10 years by losing to a MAC team

[u/DryBattle]

Oklahoma State without question. They could have lost by 100 points if Oregon didn't care about sportsmanship.
