It's been ugly at times, but perhaps, as a mids alt-rock band once sang, that's just been the price we pay when destiny is calling, and when we open our eyes, we'll see a whole new college football world awaits.
It's been a wild year for fans storming the field , from Kansas fans partying after narrowly escaping an FCS opponent in Week 1 to UMass fans rushing onto the turf after beating winless UConn. But Rivalry Week is an altogether different animal, and so Washington State and Virginia Tech fans took it up a notch. On Friday, the Cougars scored a mammoth win over Washington in the Apple Cup -- and out came the fans onto the field. Only, it was Washington's field.
The visitor field-storming immediately joined the pantheon of great moments of celebrating behind enemy lines, right up there with Baker Mayfield planting the flag at the Horseshoe or that time the kids at Valley kidnapped Screech before the big cheerleading competition at Bayside on "Saved by the Bell.
Not to be outdone, Virginia Tech's fans stormed the field at Scott Stadium after the Hokies toppled rival Virginia for the 17th time in 18 years, despite firing their coach two weeks ago. Afterward, Hokies fans raided Virginia's fridge, trashed the living room and crashed on the couch.
Don't wake them up too early Sunday. It was a long night. Not every Rivalry Week game has playoff implications, but they all matter. Let's check in on some of the biggest games that didn't upend the committee's rankings. Either way, Michigan State dumped Penn State to get to 10 wins and earn the title of the best team that wasn't Michigan or Ohio State in their division. The most-played rivalry in college football is the one between Wisconsin and Minnesota , and several of the fans who tuned in for the edition were still awake when it ended with a Gophers win.
Graham Mertz was just of for yards and an interception in the loss, which cost the Badgers a trip to the Big Ten title game. On the upside, he's already designing a super cool new logo using comic sans and is definitely going to be his year. It's no surprise that Georgia won this one easily.
The good news for Georgia Tech is no one was so demoralized that they gave up on their football dreams and became an English major. The Yellow Jackets finished with three wins for the third straight season, losing their past two by a combined score of Imagine a team that gave No. Pretty good team, right? Huge disappointment. That's Clemson. Arizona State threw for just 86 yards but still won over Arizona and won this year's award for the most meh team in the country.
Was Arizona State good? Were they bad? Should Herm Edwards get fired? Meh though he apparently won't. Absolutely nothing about this team inspires a strong opinion. We don't actually know what the Tennessee - Vanderbilt rivalry is called, but everything is good with a little hot sauce on it. Tennessee was a point favorite in the first half of this game and led just before the break, but Vandy threw a yard TD as time expired.
As bad beats go, there's nothing quite like getting demoralized by Vandy. Illinois demolished Northwestern It was a solid first season in Champaign for Bret Beilema, and the Illini finished a respectable Northwestern, on the other hand, followed up its trip to the Big Ten championship game in with a horrific campaign that included seven losses by 14 or more.
Also, Lincoln was born in Kentucky. In Kentucky, there are only four sports achievements that really matter: The Derby, the Final Four, the Governor's Cup and, of course, seeing how much they can offload a bottle of Blanton's on eBay for to some sucker in New York.
Mark Stoops has owned at least one of those competitions, winning the Governor's Cup for the third straight year and, in the process, gets Kentucky to 10 wins on the season. Notre Dame secured another easy win, and with Ohio State's loss and Alabama's shaky performance, the door certainly seems open for the Irish to make the playoff. Meanwhile, Stanford finishes after Saturday's beatdown by the Irish, but it's OK because no one in Silicon Valley is expected to actually have a stable track record of success.
It's about data collection. A once-promising season for the Aggies now includes four losses and a win over Alabama, which counts for, what, three wins? Still, it didn't go seven overtimes, so it's not close to the best version of this game. Maryland thrashed Rutgers in a game that determined that, no, big East Coast markets don't really matter that much.
The regular season is in the books. Next up: Conference title games. So, who wins? We've got your early predictions. SEC matchup: Georgia Bulldogs vs. Alabama Crimson Tide. Keys to the game : Alabama's offensive line has been shaky throughout the season as evidenced in the Iron Bowl, with Auburn racking up seven sacks and 11 tackles for loss.
If Bama's line looks as shaky against Georgia, it's entirely possible Jordan Davis will simply inhale Bryce Young like a Varsity chili dog. Who will win : It's an interesting twist of fate that Stetson Bennett , Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey aren't just the names of our financial advisor, general contractor and life insurance salesman respectively but also the offensive keys to a big Georgia win in the SEC title game.
Big Ten matchup: Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Michigan Wolverines. For Iowa, figuring out that it's possible to move the ball forward on the field offensively would be huge. Tide takes over at the Bulldogs' yard line.
Georgia fans just threw multiple bottles on the field. And dumped full beers on photographers in the end zone after that call. That kind of behavior wasn't okay when Tennessee fans did it against Ole Miss in the fall.
And it's definitely not okay to do it on the biggest stage of them all. Manchester City. West Ham United. Tottenham Hotspur. Manchester United. Wolverhampton Wanderers. Leicester City.
