Well, college football certainly got off to a wild start in Week 7 as two unranked battles kicked things off on Thursday and Friday night.

We saw a Hail Mary finish in the Houston vs. West Virginia game and then a 29-point second-half comeback in the Colorado vs. Stanford game. That was clearly a sign of things to come as the entertainment just never stopped throughout the weekend.

Some big names took the field at noon against lesser opponents as Michigan took on Indiana and didn’t have much of a problem, Ohio State went into Purdue and picked up a win against the self-proclaimed Spoilermakers, Georgia went into Nashville and beat Vanderbilt, and Alabama took care of business against a pesky Arkansas team.

The good games came later in the day.

Washington was able to pull off the improbable win over Oregon in a comeback in the final minutes as the Ducks went for it on fourth down and were unable to convert. They gave the ball back to Michael Penix Jr. who engineered a quick touchdown drive to win the game.

The primetime slot featured a few big-time matchups between Notre Dame and USC, Miami and North Carolina, and Oregon State and UCLA. There will be a lot of movement in the AP Top 25 this week.

What will the AP Top 25 look like this week?
