Week 4 marks the formal start of conference play across college football, and the big-time matchups are delivering. No. 17 Iowa pulled a stunner against No. 18 Michigan to win at Michigan Stadium for the first time since 2010 on the last play. But while there's been plenty of highs, a few high-profile players struggled in big moments.
Trinidad Chambliss was unable to keep up the magic against Florida, while Oklahoma's John Mateer collapsed against Georgia. The ACC race also took a wild turn after Wake Forest upset Louisville. There are still several high-profile matchups left on the board.
No. 10 LSU hopes to get back on track against No. 23 Texas A&M in Baton Rouge. No. 20 Oregon and No. 12 USC play with control of the Big Ten title race on the line. Here are the biggest winners and losers of Week 4.
Iowa's win against No. 18 Michigan to stay undefeated was a perfect Kirk Ferentz football game. The Hawkeyes puttered about for the first 40 minutes of play, only staying within striking distance because of a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. And then, Hank Brown came to life.
The Hawkeyes got one of the great plays in program history, a game-winning touchdown with no time left on the clock by Brown to Reece Vander Zee for an unbelievable touchdown. The win was the first for Iowa in Michigan Stadium since 2010. More importantly, it seriously launched the No. 17 Hawkeyes into the Big Ten title and postseason conversation.
With conference frontrunners Ohio State and Oregon already possessing losses, Iowa could easily crash the party. Playing Georgia is never a recipe for success, but Oklahoma's QB1 put together one of the most stunningly poor performances of the season. After going down 14-0 in the second quarter, Mateer dropped one of the worst fumbles you'll ever see that turned third-and-goal into a Georgia defensive touchdown.
