The Horned Frogs had the weekend off, while Oklahoma State held on against Boise State, Texas crushed Rice and West Virginia upset No. 15 Virginia Tech.
Around college football, it’s been a crazy first three weeks. Six ranked teams lost Saturday, though none in the top 10, raising to 19 the total number of ranked teams to lose through the first three weeks of the season.
That’s the most through three weeks of a season in the history of the poll, according to ESPN.
