Mystifying outcomes
 
... or how in God's name did the following occur?

1. Utah 44 UCLA 6 at UCLA
Utah's lone win.
Lose v. Oregon ST. 24-7
Lose v. Air Force 20-12

and after beatiing UCLA, lose v. UNLV 27-0

UCLA 3 wins:

45-17 over Stanford
27-17 over BYU
44-31 over Washington...

HOW?

2. Syracuse 38 Louisville 34 at Louisville

Syracuse before this win:
Lose v. Washington 42-17
Lose v. Iowa 35-0
Lose v. Illinois 42-20

Louisville:

Win 73-10 Murray ST.
Win 58-42 Midd Tenn. (signs the D aint good)
Lose at Kentucky 40-34 (epic struggle)

HOW?

And lastly:
3. Iowa ST. 15 Iowa 13

Iowa St.:
Lose v. kent st. 23-14
Lose v. N. Iowa 24-13
Lose v. Toledo 36-35

In State rivalry... not enough.

The most perplexing performances in losing so far.
Much more stunning to me than Appl. St. over Michigan.

Pretty interesting stuff.

Probably has to do with a combination of bad match-ups and turnovers - but hey, I wouldn't know anyway.
