STILL UNDEFEATED — What a wild weekend in college football.

Three of the top four teams in last week’s College Football Playoff rankings lost, including No. 2 Clemson’s loss on a late field goal to Pitt.

But a lot more happened this weekend in college sports, too. Here are some of our favorite moments.

Cosmo sets world record

There was a world record set Saturday at LaVell Edwards Stadium, witnessed by more than 67,000 fans — and it didn’t impact BYU’s 37-7 win over Southern Utah.

Watch Cosmo set a world record for most back handsprings done by a mascot.

Weber State forward earns spot on SportsCenter

Weber State’s Richaud Gittens slammed home a monster jam in Friday night’s rout of Antelope Valley that opened the college basketball season in Ogden.

Gittens finished with 19 points, and the Wildcats scored 128 to tie a school record for single-game scoring set in 1975.

But the best part of the onslaught was this dunk, which made SportsCenter’s top 10 Friday night.

Longest win streak in NCAA ends

Division III Mount Union entered Saturday’s regular-season finale against John Carroll with a 112-game win streak, the longest in the nation regardless of division.

And John Carroll exited the weekend with arguably the biggest win in the country.

John Carroll handed Mount Union its first loss since Oct. 2, 2005, with a 31-28 victory, but the victory celebration in the postgame locker room was even sweeter.

North Dakota State goes trolling

Speaking of upsets, did you hear about the time No. 3 Michigan went to Iowa and lost?

Well, North Dakota State did.

Troll on, Bison. Troll on.
