Tomorrow it's FCS Texas Southern's turn to play a team that Google doesn't know about. North American University appears to be a real school in suburban Houston. Founded as Texas Gulf Institute in 2007, decided to become Generic School Name University in 2013 + football this year Image
ESPN doesn't even show the game on their schedule; possibly because it's uncountable for NCAA, NAIA, or anything other than homecoming attendance (no surprises the 0-3 have the Stallions scheduled): Image
The NAU Stallions haven't been completely hopeless:

• Beat NAIA Louisiana College, 42-41
• Lost to FCS Lamar, 47-3
• Beat NJCAA juco Louisiana Community Christian, 30-14
• Body-bagged by D2 West Alabama, 80-0
• Were beating NJCAA juco Southern Shreveport Jags, 49-13...
We say "were beating" because their homecoming game was called with 11:13 4Q when some visiting players got into an altercation with fans (no NAU players involved).

It comes up on the broadcast here (final play starts ~2:32:00):
Considering how difficult the past few years have been for *all* programs, North American University Athletic Director & Head Football Coach Kenneth Apande has created a team that's been competitive. They are aiming to join the NAIA.

All 21 points in the Final AP Poll for 4-6 Texas Tech came from a single #5 vote that was probably intended for Texas A&M. Wouldn't have pushed Texas A&M ahead of #3 Clemson in the final standings, but would have closed the gap a bit.
The 21 points in the final AP Poll that Texas Tech accidentally finished the season with is identical to the 21 points that Pac-12 Champion and Fiesta Bowl participant Oregon had.
Here's the apparently erroneous ballot for inspection, missing Texas A&M but is the only ballot with Texas Tech (two schools that love being mistaken for one another): apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-…

Assuming they play at Milliy Stadium in Tashkent, Uzbekistan that is a 13,422 mile round trip. Milliy Stadium is used by the Uzbekistan National Team and FC Bunyodkor for soccer. Seats ~34,000 which would be much easier for the Huskers to fill and continue their sellout streak.
A popular dish in Uzbek cuisine is the somsa: a savory dough filled with meat and vegetables. Runza enthusiasts will be right at home!
A single round trip ticket on a flight is currently $6,429 and is a 23 hour and 50 minute flight with three layovers. If Nebraska brought the limit of 70 players it would cost $450,030 to fly.

UCF has more penalties than points. Image
Maybe UCF thinks it's Flag Day, cause they're averaging almost one a minute. Image
UCF enters halftime with a 27-7 lead over ECU, but 13 penalties. They are on pace to break the FBS record of 24 set by San José State in 1986.

The Week 3 Coaches Poll is out, and the Big Ten is allowed back in. Here's where they landed:
• #10 Ohio State
• #13 Penn State
• #17 Wisconsin
• #19 Michigan
• #22 Minnesota
It's a weird result of a weird season. There are probably 0 voters that think Ohio State is the tenth best team in the country, but quite a few that think they're top 3 and quite a few that refused to rank them, leading to a #10 rank in aggregate.
The Coaches Poll has invited Big Ten Coaches Paul Chryst, Pat Fitzgerald, James Franklin, Scott Frost, Mike Locksley, and Mel Tucker back to vote bringing the number of ballots this week to 48.
