The Week 11 college football slate was highlighted by a showdown of Big 12 top dogs as Texas Tech handed BYU its first loss, while Virginia and Louisville both suffered their second losses of the season in upset fashion to throw the ACC into chaos.

BYU came into Saturday winners of eight in a row to start the 2025 college football season, but that streak ended against Texas Tech.

In fact, according to the NCAA, BYU is tied with three other schools in the West — Arizona, Arizona State and Oregon — for the worst record in the country in “GameDay” contests, as all four are 0-3. Here’s a look back at the Cougars’ three previous “GameDay” contests.

Facing the LSU Tigers, in their first game since the firing of Brian Kelly, the Alabama Crimson Tide forced two turnovers and held LSU under 300 total yards. In the 20-9 win, Tide QB Ty Simpson threw for 277 yards and a touchdown.

College football is unpredictable and delightful, which is why we live for what happens on Saturdays. And Week 11 certainly delivered, from a thriller in Happy Valley to even more chaos in ACC country.

Moments before kickoff, the ESPN crew, along with Texas Tech product and guest picker Patrick Mahomes, made their predictions for the Texas Tech-BYU.

For the 18th time in program history, BYU finds itself in the College Football Playoff rankings. The Cougars checked in at No. 7 in the initial rankings for 2025, which were released Tuesday night on ESPN. It’s the highest position BYU has ever held in the initial rankings.
