SI’s Top 10: The State of Michigan Reigns Supreme in Week 8

[ad_1]

The beauty of college football is that when you sit down for a Saturday that doesn’t have much walk-up appeal, things will end up happening that you’ve never seen before.

Like a nine-overtime game in which only 38 points are scored.

Like a quarterback stealing the ball from his own running back and carrying it for a key first down to keep an undefeated season going.

Both those things happened in the noon window of games, sending what was supposed to be a mundane weekend off the rails. Illinois stunned Penn State 20–18 in the nine-OT fandango that showed the flaws of the utterly gimmicky new overtime rules and showcased the offensive futility of both teams. It was, technically, the longest game in the history of the sport and also one of the worst. Neither team was capable of mustering three yards for a score across five straight OT periods, when they went to the two-point conversion stage in the third OT. For 10 straight plays from the three, neither team could find the end zone.
