The Close and the Lop-sided

The weekend was full of excitement with all the football games being played, especially when it comes to the NCAA.
There were a lot of close calls where one team wins the game in the final minutes. The University of Michigan, for example, was trailing Indiana University with only a few minutes left in the game. But they put together a drive that eventually led to the Game-winning touchdown to put them ahead. There was also the University of Notre Dame who was trailing the University of Purdue with less than a minute to play by about four points. They, too, put together a drive and pulled out a win.
There were also the one-sided affairs that weren’t even close. The University of Oregon was one such team who layed a licking to the University of California-Berkley by a decisive score of 42 points to their 3 points; it is also notable to add that unranked Oregon was an underdog against the sixth ranked bears of California, making the result all the more shocking. There was also the second-University of Texas playing the University of Texas-El Paso and absolutely crushed them by a score of 64 points to their 7 points.
There were also top teams that were defeated by underdog opponents. For example, as mentioned above, No. 6 California was handily defeated by Oregon. No. 5 Penn State was defeated at home by the University of Iowa, failing to avenge a loss they suffered against Iowa last year. There was also my school, No. 11 Virginia Tech, silencing the critics and beating the University of Miami, ranked ninth and undefeated.
It’s just something I wanted to share because I’m a huge College Football fan.
