Trojans fall, down goes Bama: College Football Power Rankings after a wild week 7
What a wonderful sport we follow. With several marquee matchups on the docket for week seven, including three games featuring undefeated teams, Saturday promised to be a fantastic day for college football.
It lived up to the hype.
Tennessee and Alabama played a barn burner, with the Volunteers coming out on top 52-49, and the TCU Horned Frogs came back to win in double overtime over the Oklahoma State Cowboys after being down 30-16 at halftime.
USC dropped its first game of the season in a thriller with Utah. Led by Cam Rising, the Utes scored late and opted to go for two and the win instead of kicking an extra point.
In all, four teams inside the top ten of last week’s USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll lost, and eight in the top 25.
