Overview
- The SEC saw No. 1 Georgia, No. 6 Alabama and No. 7 Texas all lose on Saturday, leaving the conference without an unbeaten team and upending its title race.
- Ohio State held on for a 19-15 win at Indiana but coach Ryan Day said Julian Sayin will miss several weeks with a right arm/shoulder injury, handing significant responsibility to true freshman Luke Fahey.
- Texas fell 27-24 to Florida after Arch Manning committed late turnovers and the Longhorns lost top defender Colin Simmons to an in-game injury, leaving Texas with little margin for error in its playoff hopes.
- No. 3 Miami arrived at Week 7 with a 5-0 record and one of the nation’s top offenses, while Florida State and coach Mike Norvell face intense pressure ahead of their rivalry trip to Miami.
- Saturday’s chaos heightens short-term College Football Playoff stakes even as a planned expansion to 24 teams in 2027 will change long-term seeding and postseason calculus.
