This past weekend was one of the wildest for college football in recent memory as five of the AP Top 11 teams lost. The biggest upset, of course, was Alabama losing at Vanderbilt. My take on this is that college football has much more parity now due to the NIL money being thrown around. This week’s rankings were one of the challenging assignments thus far.

Here’s our Top 12 College Football Rankings after week 7:

1. Texas (2) 5-0
2. Ohio State 5-0
3. Penn State 5-0
4. Georgia 4-1
5. Oregon 5-0
6. Miami 6-0
7. Alabama 4-1
8. Indiana 6-0
9. Iowa State 5-0
10. Tennessee 4-1
11. Ole Miss 5-1
12. BYU 5-0

Also receiving votes were Clemson 4-1, Texas A&M 5-1 and LSU 4-1.

Our consensus best Group of Five team: Boise State 4-1

The biggest games coming up this weekend will be Ohio State at Oregon, Ole Miss at LSU and Texas vs Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry. But the way last week went, you may want to take a peek at Penn State at USC and Arizona at BYU.
