[GTWannaBee]

Ranked teams losing to unranked:

Week 1:
(5) Michigan Lost to Div 2 App. St.
(19) F$U Lost to Clemson

Week 2:
(8) Lousiville Beat Mid Ten St. 58-42 (not a loss but worth mentioning)
(11) UGA Lost to South Carolina
(17) Auburn Lost to South Florida
(22) Boise St Lost to Washington

Week 3:
(6) Texas Beat UCF 35-32 (Same as Week 2)

(16) Arkansas Lost to Alabama

Week 4:
(10) Penn St Lost to Michigan
(18) Louisville Lost to Syracuse
(20) Texas A&M Lost to Miami

Week 5 (so far):
(3) Oklahoma Lost to Colorado
(7) Texas Lost to Kansas St 41-21
(10) Rutgers Lost to Maryland
(13) Clemson Lost to GT (my favorite upset of course)
(21) Penn St Lost to Illinois
(22) Alabama Lost to F$U

(4) Florida is losing to Auburn but I doubt that will hold.

Two observations:
1.) There have been a ton of big upsets this year, more than any year I can remember.
2.) There a several names mentioned above that are recurring (i.e. - Louiville and F$U)

My only point (feel free to derive your own) is that this year has been unpredictable throughout the NCAA.

You forgot Auburn losing to Miss. St.

Washington is also playing USC close 17-14. If the #1, #3 and #4 teams lose on the same weekend, that has to set some kind of record.

Auburn wasn't ranked when they lost. This is an interesting weekend to say the least.

Auburn about to beat UF for the 2nd straight year.

Unbelievable. It's rather ironic that UF has lost to Auburn twice in a row and that GT has beaten Auburn twice in a row.

How is that ironic?

B/c UF is a better program than GT so far this decade.

The irony still eludes me.

The irony still eludes me.

Because I would expect us to lose two straight to Auburn and UF to win two straight.

Irony = the opposite of what's expected.

Considering football games are independent events comprising many different matchups and we beat them in different years I wouldn't say this is irony.

 

[TechGator1066]

Okay whatever. lol I still think it's ironic.

 

[GTKyle]

Okay whatever. lol I still think it's ironic.

Oh, you think it is ironic and I don't think it is ironic.

Therefore that is the opposite and therefore that is ironic. ¿Si?

Kyle, it is ironic. It's also why they play the games.

So it's Alanis' fault no one in her generation knows the meaning of irony? Or is she just another victim?

All the different senses of irony revolve around the perceived notion of an incongruity, or a gap between an understanding of reality, or expectation of a reality, and what actually happens.

Does this mean that Kyle is ironic?
