Syracuse, Appalachian State get wild wins (college football winners and losers)

Lost by 35 at home to Oklahoma, which isn’t really a surprise considering the Cornhuskers (1-3) appear well on their way to a sixth consecutive losing season and the Sooners are a perennial playoff contender.

But considering Nebraska (or, more specifically, its various donors) ponied up last weekend to pay a buyout to coach Scott Frost that would have shrank by about $8 million on Oct. 1, it really is worth asking: Aside from the deafening clamor to make a change, would things really have been worse Saturday had some patience and/or financial restraint been exercised?
