The party was on in Ames Saturday night, and it was just another in a upset-filled Saturday in college football.

The Big 12 upset meant West Virginia was the second undefeated team and the fourth top 10 team that lost on Saturday. Iowa State knocked off No. 6 West Virginia 30-14 to get back to .500 on the season (3-3). West Virginia fell to 5-1. It was the second straight top 25 upset for the Cyclones after they toppled Oklahoma State last week, 48-42.

Seven sacks, nine tackles for a loss and an interception told the story.

Iowa State did it with a suffocating run defense that held the Mountaineers under 50 yards into the fourth quarter. West Virginia also struggled on third down with just one conversion on 10 attempts by early in the fourth quarter.

West Virginia briefly stopped the Iowa State momentum with a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown late in the first half. It was the kind of jolt Will Grier and the offense needed after five punts on the Mountaineers first six drives. By the time West Virginia was one for three on third down, Grier had been sacked three times by three different players.

He suffered a safety late in the fourth quarter.

At this time of year, the upsets will only lead to more debate and discussion about how the rankings unfold, and the Sunday and Monday rankings reveals will be heavily scrutinized.
