Overall Rationale: Alright, Week 7 is in the books and I must say that this weekend action of games was the most chaotic I’ve saw in a long time with Top 5 Teams being affected and caused major chaos. First off was a battle of Top 5 with Indiana and Ohio State that went toe to toe, but in the end Ohio State escaped Bloomington with a W. That was the least Surprising games as one of the, had to lose, but then later on Georgia lost to Auburn in a game they could have won but fumbled away. Then Notre Dame went to Provo, and they lost to BYU in a controversial ending. Other games that were in the mix for craziness was Alabama and Tennessee where Tennessee beat Alabama in an easy fashion. Ole Miss had no troubles with dealing with Missouri, Texas after being in the Top 5 to start the season, has dropped hard and looks like Arch Manning isn’t as good like his uncles and Grandpa were. Houston found a way to beat Oklahoma State, and lastly Mississippi State got upset by LSU. Must say I haven’t seen this crazy of a weekend like I did this past weekend in such a long time that it’s gonna affect this weeks poll tremendously.
