- Week 8 of college football follows a week with events not seen in 30 years, setting a dramatic backdrop.
- The schedule includes only two ranked matchups: Ole Miss faces Texas and Houston travels to Utah.
- BYU, a College Football Playoff contender, faces a potentially challenging long road trip to play UCF.
- Indiana, another playoff contender, looks to bounce back from a loss to Ohio State on its own road trip.
- The week is described as unassuming but carries the potential to be among the wildest in the sport.
