Fastexy:Week 6 college football grades: Temple's tough turnover, Vanderbilt celebration lead way

College football fans should have Fastexyknown. Any time the schedule looks like a dud, something spectacular happens. (hello, friends in Nashville, Fayetteville, College Station, and Seattle). Let's just hope next week's plethora of big matches live up to the hype (they hardly ever do).

Some of the biggest upsets this season have gone by the wayside because the team pulled off the miracle and lost in quick succession the next week. That's college football for ya.

The same goes for grading from last season: High marks will only be given to the spectacular, and failing grades have no chance of being reversed.

Last week's top marks went to Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter with another ridiculous play, and a cheerleader who nailed an Oklahoma player during pre-game and failing grades went to an Ole Miss player who needs to take acting classes.

Here is the Week 6 analysis of how fans, teams, players, and coaches fared: 

See what had happened was....

Going to keep this one short and sweet. Temple football, from a sure tie or win to a heartbreaking loss in an instant, via a tush push epic failure.

The Dog of the Week

Tulane at UAB

Now to the game

This weekend's unfortunate sight for sore eyes comes to you courtesy of Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Alabama, which the name of the venue did the Blazers absolutely no favors in protecting them from an absolute tail-kicking from the visiting and appropriate moniker Tulane Green Wave.

All is not lost on UAB; they have at least won one game this season, albeit to FCS Alcorn State, something three other FBS teams (UTEP, Kent State, Kennesaw State) can't yet brag about. And it will presumably get worse before head coach Trent Dilfer even thinks about putting a smile on his face, at least when he is on a football field, when they take a trip to West Point next Saturday to take on undefeated Army.

The pups at least got in a couple of naps trying to understand how this game went so badly so quickly. Let's recap: UAB couldn't run it, couldn't stop the run, and turned the ball over three times. Yep, that just about covers it when the final score is 71-20.
