Does anyone disagree with these or have any others? I did not get to see all these games so just going by the box scores which sometimes can be tricky:

Texas out gained Okla 482-232 and lost 26-31
Northwestern out gained Minn 393-274 and lost 17-24
Baylor out gained TCU 782-485 only won by 3, -3 TOs
Kansas out gained Okla St. 379-275 and lost 20-27
Wash only out gained Cal 384-368 while winning 31-7

The Ole Miss/TAMU game was nowhere near as close as the final score. It was 35-7, Ole Miss put in the kids, and TAMU scored. Then, TAMU scored the last TD on the last play of the game.

We probably look at things different. I rarely consider yards when looking at a game I feel wasn't as close as the score. TAMU outgained Ole Miss and State the last two weeks, and with 5 minutes to go in each game, they were down 48-17 and 35-7. They were not in either game by the 2nd quarter.

I gave Ole Miss a max adjustment up and ATM max down on that game, as they still won by 15 on the road as a dog, but yeah it was prob worse than the final score indicated.

Oregon was up on UCLA 42-10 at one point, before allowing the Bruins to score 3 garbage touchdowns I know that. I don't know what the yardage was, but the Ducks looked very impressive with the return of OL Fisher!! Completely different team when they have their downhill running game rolling. They looked dominant once again.

And Oregon failed on another 4th and goal from the 2 yard line, or it would've been more...

UAB/UNT very misleading. we got 3 defensive TD's including on b2b north texas offensive snaps....fumble return TD, kicked off, then pick 6. another pick 6 later which was one of more bizarre throws you'll ever see as UNT didn't even have a receiver on the side of the field that the qb threw it. so 5 turnovers to 0 is why uab won 56-14 since 3 of them came back for TD's. UNT moved ball well...24 first downs, 450 yards but 5 TO's killed them
