This week’s random CFB facts (August 4th)

[Blake Munroe]

I started doing this last season and people enjoyed it, so I’m bringing it back. Each week I post a list of random college football facts that pertain to the current state of events in CFB. 

Here is this week’s:

- Alabama is 4-5 against their last nine FBS opponents.

- Kalen DeBoer has four losses at Alabama as a 14+ point favorite, in 14 games as the coach. Nick Saban lost three of those in 139 games.

- 2024 Florida State’s 2-10 season is the second-worst record an FBS team has experienced before beating a Top 10 opponent in their season opener. 

- TCU scoring 48 points is the most Bill Belichick has ever allowed in a football game as a head coach.

- Two P4 programs have yet to score a touchdown this season: Virginia Tech and Northwestern.

- Penn State beat Nevada 46-11 last Saturday. That score has never happened before at the FBS level.

- Georgia Tech’s win last Saturday marks their first non-conference road win in a decade.

- This is the first time since the 2006 Preseason AP Poll that Florida, Florida State and Miami are all ranked in the Top 15.

Bonus:

- UNC’s backup QB is the same age as Bill Belichick’s girlfriend. 

- Lee Corso’s farewell episode was the most watched College Gameday ever.
