There is always a certain bittersweetness to weekends such as what we had last Saturday. On one hand, many of us have probably never seen a single week quite like that — over 60% of visiting teams won, many of them rent-a-wins; the Sun Belt went 3-0 against Power 5 conferences; and among the Top 50, an insane 36 did not cover the spread and/or were outright upset.
I went to my data sets all the way back to 2011 to see if we’ve had a single week that was quite so chaotic. We have not. It was special; a once-in-a-decade dysfunction.
