This weekend brought PLENTY of things that no one expected, so let’s get right to it.
1 – All three of these involving Alabama are tough to wrap your head around
Alabama’s secondary has scored as many touchdowns as Christian McCaffrey this season. That’s nuts.

Amid all the “Alabama is class above everybody” talk that’s going around… 72% of Tide’s offensive yardage comes from underclassmen

2 – A Samford player proposed to his girlfriend this weekend, and got a bunch of his teammates in on it, providing an unforgettable moment
3 – Some experts thought Urban and Ohio State would get punched in the mouth by Wisconsin this weekend…but they didn’t expect a referee to deliver the punch (followed by a sideline penalty to boot)
Urban Meyer just got hit in the face by the ref, which was a 15 yard interference penaltyhttps://t.co/08TiAgnvOA

4 – Remember that play from a few years ago where two Florida players ended up blocking one another? Well last night a Saints defensive player tackled another Saints defender

5 – This is pretty wild
Kelly: “To be 2-5 and to outscore your opponents has got to be one of the craziest stats in America.”

6 – Major reason why PJ Fleck has Western Michigan undefeated right here…
Western Michigan has lost 1 turnover at midway point. FBS single-season record for fewest turnovers is 8 (Clemson 1940, Navy 2015).

7 – Stand up if you had this laid out correctly before the beginning of the year
INDIANA COLLEGE FOOTBALL STANDINGS:
Ball State 4-3
Indiana 3-3
Purdue 3-3
Notre Dame 2-5— Matt Brown (@MattSBN) October 16, 2016
8 – UCLA somehow punted the ball backwards on Saturday (and Jim Mora was clearly not happy about it)

9 – This referee just can’t turn down an opportunity to get in the pile
Look at this ref mixing it up in the pile. He is really getting after it. https://t.co/eq1Cr9G5Zc

10 – This is unreal. UNREAL!
Iowa piled up 303 RUSHING yards on first down vs #Purdue. Just rushing, and just on first down.

11 – Army’s punter thought it’d be a good idea to try and take off on 4th and 44…(H/T SB Nation)
12 – Akron destroyed an oar before their game against PJ Fleck and Western Michigan trying to send some kind of message…but the Broncos were the ones sending a message to the tune of a 41-0 blowout.
Akron burned and broke an oar to mock WMU’s 'Row The Boat' mantra. Akron lost by 41. https://t.co/ywDYZzk3TN pic.twitter.com/kfXhhFOhjc
