Football is a funny game. Sometimes you never see the outcome of a game coming. Take two top-25 upsets from this past week. Florida, coming off of a 29-point loss to Missouri on Homecoming, proceeded to beat former #11 Georgia 38-20 behind the fifth-best rushing performance in school history (418 yards) while throwing the fewest passes in a win (six) since 1977.\u00a0 The Gators had only gained 201 rushing yards in their previous three games against Georgia combined.\u00a0 Meanwhile, Temple was outgained by almost 300 yards (428-135) by former #23 East Carolina, but forced 5 turnovers and blocked a field goal in a 20-10 victory.\u00a0 It was the Owls\u2019 first win since 1998 against a ranked opponent, and their first win ever<\/strong> against a ranked opponent at home.\u00a0 The 293 yards marks the second-largest yardage deficit a team has overcome to win a game in the past ten years.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t look now, but Duke is at it again!\u00a0 The Blue Devils, coming off of last year\u2019s conference championship game appearance, find themselves 7-1 and in somewhat familiar territory: leading the ACC Coastal Division with four games to go.\u00a0 David Cutcliffe\u2019s team doesn\u2019t beat itself: Duke is in the top five in the nation in fewest turnovers and fewest offensive negative plays, and is tops in the country in fewest sacks allowed.\u00a0 And they have a great chance to finish 11-1; their last four games are against teams with a current combined 4-15 conference record.<\/p>\n

Those who have read my write-ups in the past know that I have a fondness for service academy football. These young men are truly inspiring: at West Point, Annapolis, and Colorado Springs, they receive world-class educations, perform long hours of military training, and on top of that, play football at the highest collegiate level.\u00a0 This year, the Air Force Falcons are the cream of the crop.\u00a0 The Falcons, due to their earlier 30-21 win over Navy and this past week\u2019s 23-6 win over Army, captured the Commander-in-Chief\u2019s Trophy for the 19th<\/sup> time, the most between the three academies.\u00a0 The Falcons are 6-2 this year, already making them bowl-eligible as well.<\/p>\n

In small-school news, there are two undefeated teams left in I-AA.\u00a0 One is North Dakota State, whom I\u2019ve mentioned in this space before.\u00a0 The other is 9-0 Coastal Carolina.\u00a0 The Chanticleers are obviously a good team, but it\u2019s their coach on which I want to focus.\u00a0 Joe Moglia has to have one of the most unique backstories in all of college football. Do you recognize that name for some reason?\u00a0 Here\u2019s why:\u00a0 prior to this job, he had a different leadership role: CEO of TD Ameritrade.\u00a0 He still serves as Chairman of the Board of the company.\u00a0 In his two-plus years at Coastal so far, he\u2019s compiled an aggregate 29-8 record; the team had gone 29-28 over the previous five years.\u00a0 Safe to say this guy knows a few things about leadership.<\/p>\n
