What started out as a very ugly day in College Football turned into an upset special for a couple of undefeated teams late Saturday night. And the theme of the weekend: White Helmets.
Very pro Baylor's helmets. White helmets rule. Good to also see Northwestern busting out the whites today.

On to the recap…
Even GameDay had a rough weekend.

First white helmet spotting: The U. But it really didn’t seem to work out too well for them. They got hammered and fired their coach before the weekend was over. But Clemson tried to help…

But it was ugly.
Sources: Clemson now just fielding trainers & equipment guys. Actual team left at halftime for Ruby Tuesdays. #CLEMvsMIA

There's your #CLEMvsMIA headline. (I wasn't a college sports editor for nothing.) pic.twitter.com/yztZ8zbmuP— Aaron Earls (@WardrobeDoor) October 24, 2015
Second white helmet spotting: the aforementioned Northwestern. Against a team who usually plays in white helmets, Nebraska. I’m with Micah on these uniforms for Nebraska though.
Among the worst trends in uniforms is wearing black when it's not a school color. I'm looking at you Ohio State and Nebraska. #stopplease

Next white helmet: Auburn. Sad days on the plains because…

Which led to my favorite tweet of the weekend…

As I mentioned at the top of this post, this was an ugly day for football. And UCF’s mascot had finally had enough.

And I’m sorry if you paid for tickets to Mizzou-Vandy…
Missouri has 38 yards of offense. Which one was your favorite?
— Dave Matter (@Dave_Matter) October 24, 2015
Mizzou's two leading rushers tonight were quarterback Drew Lock (39 yards) and punter Corey Fatony (26 yards).

However, UT-Bama started to redeem the day.
Pray for Bama. The state is close to burning down tonight.

If we lose this game, I blame Peyton Manning

Elsewhere in the SEC…
Ole Miss is crushing Texas A&M tonight, increasing Memphis’ lead in the SEC West.

And then my phone blew up around 9 PM, thanks to more white helmets (see the image above)…
RAMBLING WRECKED!!

But not nearly as bad as this guy’s…

And to cap it off, USC took down the Utes to close out the day.
USC’s two interim head coaches have more top five wins than the past two USC head coaches the school has actually hired.

All in all, it was definitely a week to forget for many reasons (unless you are Ga Tech or USC), and this pretty much sums up the week:
Today's Lesson: Alabama is not invincible. LSU is better than the Vols. See you in two weeks. #GeauxTigers
