Lesser teams beat better teams in the sport of College Football.
It is a reality. The phrase “on any given Saturday” exists for a reason. It happens all of the time.
When a team like Portland State beats a WSU or a North Dakota State wins over an Iowa, we don’t immediately jump to a conclusion that the victorious team is superior. Rather, we tend to dissect those games and ask questions about the readiness of the superior team.
That is completely rational. Typically there is an explanation. Sometimes injuries hamper the superior team. Maybe some balls bounced in the right direction.
