Week 6 of College Football’s 2025-26 season proved to be a particularly crazy one.

Let’s dig through the stats to see how the South’s Power 4 teams faired amidst all of the chaos.

In-State Games

There was only one game between in-state opponents during Week 6. Texas Tech came up with a big +24 (35-11) win over Houston. That puts the Red Raider at 5-0 overall and 2-0 against Big 12 competition. It was Houston’s first loss of the season and they’re now 4-1 overall and 1-1 against Big 12 opponents.

Regional Games

There were only two regional games during Week 6.

Alabama beat Vanderbilt with a sizeable +16 (30-14) win over Vanderbilt. The Commodores weren’t able to follow-up on their 40-35 defeat of the Crimson Tide last season but they’re still punching well above their weight class overall. Vanderbilt is not 5-1 overall and 1-1 against SEC teams. Alabama improves to 4-1 overall and 2-0 against SEC competition.

Texas A&M walks away from Week 6 with a +22 (31-9) win over Mississippi State. There was some hype surrounding the Bulldogs coming out o last weeks somewhat competitive Tennessee matchup but the Aggies killed any of that momentum. Mississippi State is now 4-2 overall but 0-2 in-conference. The Aggies now lay claim to5-0 overall and 2-0 conference records.

Out-Region Games

Five teams faced off against out-region opponents during Week 6.

Oklahoma walloped Kent State with a +44 shutout.

TCU pulled off a somewhat close +14 (35-21) victory over Colorado. The Buffaloes turned the ball over four times and the Horned Frogs didn’t at all, which tends to help out. TCU is now 4-1 overall and 1-1 against Big 12 opponents.

Fellow DFW program, SMU, had a similar experience during Week 6. SMU pulled off a +13 (31-18) win over Syracuse. The Orange out produced the Mustangs in total offense, 389-370 yards but lot the turnover battle 3-1. SMU’s overall record is now 3-2 and they’re 1-0 in-conference with this Syracuse victory.

Baylor squeaked by with a +1 (35-34) win over Kansas State. That brings the Bears to 4-2 overall and 2-1 against Big 12 opponents.

And there’s the Oklahoma State situation. The Cowboys dropped a -28 (13-41) loss to Arizona in Week 6. The dog pile continues and they are now 1-4 overall and 0-2 in-conference. Nothing to see here folks.

Southeast

All of the teams who played opponents located in the nearby Southeast region loss.

Louisville fell -3 (27-30) to Virginia. The Cavaliers aren’t a pushover this season and are now up to 5-1 overall and 3-0 against ACC opponents. This is Louisville’s first loss of the 2025-26 season and they’re now 4-1 overall and 1-1 in-conference.

Texas’ -8 (21-19) loss to Florida has been and will continue to be commentary fodder for the foreseeable future. Unless the Longhorns play worse. They’re now 3-2 overall but only 0-1 against SEC competition. It potentially feels worse than it is in the moment but they also still have Oklahoma, Vanderbilt, Georgia and Texas A&M left on their regular season schedule. Definite room for a much steeper slide.

And Kentucky dropped a -21 (14-35) game against Georgia. It was the rebound game for the Bulldogs after their Week 5 loss to Alabama and puts the Wildcats at 2-3 overall and 0-3 against SEC opponents.
