With Florida A&M, Bethune-Cookman and Stetson, the Sunshine State’s record on Saturday fell to 0-8 — the worst one-day showing in state history by FBS and FCS teams. Florida A&M lost to Prairie View 31-12, Bethune-Cookman fell 25-23 to Southern in five overtimes and previously winless Marist beat Stetson 40-31.

If there were any lingering doubts, Michigan's 20-15 loss to No. 8 Indiana in Week 11 provided irrefutable evidence that Sherrone Moore is not the man for Michigan. His head-scratching and, frankly, unforgivable mistakes were the sole reason the Wolverines were not able to pull off the upset.

The first quarter of the college football season suggested Florida might be in for a long slog, with growing pressure on third-year coach Billy Napier after ugly home losses to Miami and Texas A&M. Surely, it was a situation that needed some resolution, if only to save everyone involved from agony.
