As of this writing, the SEC West\u2019s seven teams have a combined record of 28-3, and the three losses are to other SEC West teams.\u00a0 Arkansas has two of the losses, to Auburn and Texas A&amp;M.\u00a0 Every team not named Arkansas in the SEC West is currently ranked in the top 15 of the AP poll.\u00a0 I have never heard of one division in a single league representing so much of the top-ranked teams in college football.\u00a0 However, there are guaranteed to be three more SEC West losses after this Saturday \u2013 the six ranked SEC West teams all play each other.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we\u2019re mostly through the \u201ccupcake\u201d portion of most team\u2019s schedules, it\u2019s worth taking a look at just what kind of crazy numbers have been put up by teams so far.\u00a0 A sampling:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Most points in a game: 77 by North Texas against Nicholls St. Seven teams scored 70+ in a game.<\/li>\n<li>Most rushing yards in a game: 644 by Wisconsin against Bowling Green.\u00a0 Eight teams have rushed for 450+ yards in a game, including 452 by Boston College against Southern California!<\/li>\n<li>Most passing yards in a game: 630 by Washington State against Portland State. Eight teams have passed for 500+ yards in a game.<\/li>\n<li>Most yards in a game: 789 by East Carolina against North Carolina. Thirteen teams have amassed 700+ yards in at least one game!<\/li>\n<li>Fewest yards allowed in a game: 44 by Clemson against South Carolina State. Eight teams have allowed 100 yards or fewer in a game.<\/li>\n<li>Most rushing touchdowns in a game: 8, again by Wisconsin against Bowling Green. Six other teams have 7 in a game.<\/li>\n<li>Most passing touchdowns in a game: 7, done three times, including by California and Colorado in last week\u2019s game against each other!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Craig Bohl is the new coach at Wyoming this year.\u00a0 You might remember him as the previous head coach at North Dakota State, the three-time-defending FCS champion.\u00a0 He\u2019s already got the Cowboys on the right track; if you believe in the transitive property of college football, they\u2019re a better team than USC!\u00a0 Wyoming beat Air Force (17-13), who beat Boise State (28-14), who beat Colorado State (37-24), who beat Boston College (24-21), who beat USC (37-31)!\u00a0 On the other hand, Wyoming has also lost to Michigan State and Oregon by large margins, so maybe the transitive property isn\u2019t as useful as you\u2019d like to think\u2026<\/p>\n<p>In small-school news, Yale beat Army 49-43 in overtime.\u00a0 The Bulldogs, who are the winningest FCS team of all time with 879 victories, beat an FBS team for the first time since 1982.\u00a0 It was the first time an Ivy League team beat an FBS team since 1986. By the way, Yale, like all Ivy League schools, does not offer athletic scholarships. To beat an 85-scholarship team under those circumstances is a pretty impressive feat.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to <strong>gatorbamalover<\/strong>, who wins week 5 with 169 points!\u00a0 They won a tiebreaker over <strong>Allison<\/strong> and <strong>maestro<\/strong>.\u00a0 <strong>SicEmFrogs<\/strong> finished one point behind with 168, and <strong>GODAWGS<\/strong>, <strong>Rocky Tide<\/strong>, <strong>JagRag<\/strong>, <strong>Bamagirl25<\/strong>, and <strong>Mayhalls picks<\/strong> were each one point further back with 167.<\/p>\n<p>Overall standings after five weeks:<\/p>\n<table class=\"rankingsTable\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td><strong>Allison<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">944<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">2<sup>nd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td><strong>gatorbamalover<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">942<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">T-3<sup>rd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td><strong>GODAWGS<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">941<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">T-3<sup>rd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td><strong>maestro<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">941<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">T-3<sup>rd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td><strong>SicEmFrogs<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">941<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">T-6<sup>th<\/sup><\/td>\n<td><strong>pachyderm<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">938<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">T-6<sup>th<\/sup><\/td>\n<td><strong>AUBrian<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">938<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">T-6<sup>th<\/sup><\/td>\n<td><strong>Crimson Gator<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">938<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">9<sup>th<\/sup><\/td>\n<td><strong>JagRag<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">934<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">T-10<sup>th<\/sup><\/td>\n<td><strong>bamaken<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">931<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">T-10<sup>th<\/sup><\/td>\n<td><strong>Rocky Tide<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align : right;\">931<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>All right, playtime\u2019s over!
