College Football Sees Major Upsets as Penn State, Texas Lose to Underdogs

News summary

Week 6 brought chaos across college football, highlighted by two of the season's most stunning upsets — Penn State's 42-37 loss at winless UCLA and Texas's 29-21 defeat at Florida — results that are already reshaping rankings and perceptions. The weekend also produced notable outcomes such as Miami over Florida State, Alabama beating Vanderbilt, Texas A&M dominating Mississippi State, and Cincinnati's 38-30 road win over No. 14 Iowa State, boosting the Bearcats' dark-horse credentials. In the Big 12, narratives shifted as Brendan Sorsby's hot stretch has put him in the conference QB conversation, Texas Tech continued to look like the league's class, and Cincinnati earned growing respect. Baylor staged a dramatic 35-34 comeback over Kansas State — keyed by a late touchdown, a Jacob Redding pick-six, a 53-yard Connor Hawkins field goal, and a blocked game-winning kick — with PFF snap-counts showing rotation changes across the roster. Collectively, the weekend reinforced how unpredictable 2025 has been and highlighted the limits of preseason polls as several top-ranked teams have underperformed.
