Stewart Mandel talks upsets of week seven, A&M/UF and more

Key notes from Stewart Mandel interview

• There were a lot of upsets. It’s interesting in the playoff era that no one loss feels quite as big as in the BCS. No one thought Syracuse would beat Clemson. I think Clemson still has good playoff chances. It’s a much bigger deal to win big games than one bad loss. You don’t know, with Syracuse or Iowa State against Oklahoma last week it seems like a big loss.
