Week 9 USA TODAY Coaches Poll released
We saw it again.
Five more Top 25 teams lost to unranked opponents this season, which is actually tied for the lowest total for a single week in 2021. In case you were wondering just how crazy this fall has been for the sport.
Two of those upsets came in the B1G, with No. 7 Penn State falling to Illinois and No. 25 Purdue dropping a home game to Wisconsin. No. 14 Coastal Carolina, No. 8 Oklahoma State and No. 18 NC State all lost as well.
