College football season is in full swing, and with dozens of games going on every week, it can sometimes be difficult to keep up with all of the goings-on around the NCAA. But don't worry, we're here for you with a recap of the top stories from the week in college football as translated through the universal language of music.
This week, Kanye West will help us break the news down. (As a heads-up, a few of these songs will be very, very 'not-safe-for work' so be careful clicking, especially this first one.)
Blame Game - Illinois State def. Northwestern, 9-7
See You In My Nightmares - Georgia def. Nicholls State, 26-24
Hold My Liquor - Central Michigan def. Oklahoma State, 30-27
Yup, coming out of a coma, waking up on a friend's sofa, and angrily smashing up a Toyota sounds exactly like the kind of morning that OSU fans had this past Sunday, after a mistake by the referees on an intentional grounding call allowed the Central Michigan Chippewas one last chance to upset the #17 team in the nation. And, well, wouldn't you know it, on a crazy Hail Mary play (and a lateral to boot), Central Michigan scored a touchdown to win the game. At this point, OSU fans were likely either furiously rummaging around for a bottle of very, very hard liquor, yelling at their TV, or both. And unfortunately, Sunday morning, not only are they hangin' on a hangover, but they've gotten confirmation that there's apparently no way to retroactively change the game's result. (The officiating crew from the game has been suspended for the next two weeks, but that's likely small comfort.)
Flashing Lights - Tennessee def. Virginia Tech, 45-24
Paranoid - Pitt def. Penn State, 42-39
Franklin, don't worry about it. Penn state fans, don't even think about it.
You worry 'bout the wrong things, the wrong things.
After Pitt's victory over Penn State, in the game that promised to re-ignite the two schools' in-state rivalry, Penn State head coach James Franklin wasted no time in going after Pitt. He claimed that while his offense was going through its clap-based pre-snap cadence, Pitt defenders were clapping in order to intentionally disrupt the Penn State offense, and when he asked the officials about it, was told there was nothing they could do. Upon hearing this, Pitt clapped back, insinuating that Franklin was simply making paranoid excuses for his team's loss. Either way, it seems like the barbed words will continue through and until the two meet again next year.
