It turns out UMass has played some pretty good teams on its road to 1-6 record. Saturday's results continued the trend.
Five of six FBS losses are to likely bowl-bound teams.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tulane ran their record to 7-1 against Memphis. The Green Wave are already bowl eligible and were ranked #25 before the Memphis game. They're probably the biggest turnaround story of 2022.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toledo and Buffalo matched up in a battle of MAC unbeatens and the Bulls scored 24 points in the fourth quarter to win. Both teams are likely bowl-bound.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stony Brook beat Maine in a come-from-behind victory.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eastern Michigan beat Ball State to move to 5-3 for the season. The Eagles need only one win to be bowl eligible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liberty scored maybe their biggest win ever with a 41-14 domination of BYU. The Flames held BYU to 258 total yards and 12 first downs. Liberty also had a sell out crowd at Williams Stadium. The Flames play Arkansas, UConn, Virginia Tech and New Mexico State next. The Hogs are 4-3 and the Hokies are 2-5. If the Flames win both, they could be playing on New Years Day.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arkansas State lost to Louisiana 38-18.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Texas A&M lost to South Carolina in a prime-time match-up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
