The Fraud Five by Mike Kern – Week 8 Edition

October 25, 2026

Is it me or is it hard to believe it’s almost November. Time really flies the older you get. 

Southern Cal — I know Trojans were only a slight favorite at Wisconsin. But if you want to be taken seriously you can’t lose this game. Sorry. Final was 24-7. Good thing visitors led 7-3 late in second quarter. 

Oregon — I know the Ducks are still playing their backup quarterback. But they were favored by 10 at Illinois. And lost 21-10. Good thing they led 10-0 late in second too. 

Texas Tech — Almost everyone has to lose at some point. But the eighth-ranked team was favored by 11 at Cincinnati. Red Raiders lost 37-24. Good thing they scored a touchdown with a minute to go. 

Brigham Young — Another now former unbeaten. One week after beating unbeaten Notre Dame the Cougars lost in double overtime at Central Florida, which was a TD underdog. It happens. 

Iowa — Was favored by seven at Minnesota. Lost 13-10. Hey somebody had to grab the last spot.  

Happy Halloween!
