No. 11 Charlotte wins No. 6 Hawaii 47-42
No. 10 FIU beats No. 7 Nevada 38-34

Our first round had surprisingly few upsets as the favorites all won and knocked out. and Colorado State, but neither were able to secure a victory. Will it remain cloudy in the quarterfinals?

No. 7 Nevada beats No. 2 Colorado 48-27
No. 3 South Florida beats No. 6 Hawaii 35-34
No. 5 Northwestern beats No. 4 New Mexico, 5-3

Of the four teams to say goodbye, only South Florida had the extra reserves available, giving Hawaii an exciting 35-34 upset and dropping out of the tournament. Elsewhere, No. 1 UMass makes a strong opening statement, defending his title and looking to bottom his 25th championship for the third time in the last four years. Minutemen should focus on No. 2 Colorado as Buffalo was beaten by Nevada his 48-27.

semi-finals

No. 6 Hawaii beats No. 1 UMass 31-13
No. 4 New Mexico beats No. 2 Colorado 17-16

It was no surprise that No. 1 UMass dropped to No. 6 Hawaii. There’s a big gap between the two in my rating, giving the Minutemen a serious advantage in the random number generator, but it’s an advantage that UMass has spent all season gaining on the field. New Mexico’s match for second place was fairly close, but the Buffs held on despite a strong challenge to advance to the Bottom 25 Championship.

No. 1. UMass defeated No. 2 Colorado, 2-0

What more could you ask for in a title game than a battle for 1st and 2nd place? It was a game both teams had been building all season, and in the end Colorado had a little too much for his UMass to overcome, and the Minutemen saw a bad snap of a punt soar over the punter’s head. , went through the end zone and hit Ralphie in the middle of the eye, thus winning 2–0 at safety. This caused Ralphie to go on a rampage across the stadium, but after a 25-minute delay, Ralphie’s handlers were able to put things back together and finish the game.

Colorado becomes the first Power Five program to win the Bottom 25 Championship. It’s truly a historic moment. Congrats to the Buffaloes. That said, Deion Sanders has no intention of returning here next year.
