Overview
- Saturday’s cascade of upsets included Auburn beating No. 1 Georgia, BYU beating No. 2 Notre Dame, and Ohio State beating No. 4 Indiana to end Indiana’s 22-game win streak, producing the first day since the AP poll began in 1936 when five of the top seven all lost.
- The US LBM Coaches Poll released Sunday put Miami at No. 1, Ohio State at No. 2 and BYU at No. 3 after voters reordered the top 25 in response to the upsets and other weekend results.
- Ohio State’s win came with a cost when coach Ryan Day said quarterback Julian Sayin suffered a right-arm injury on Saturday and will be sidelined for several weeks, a development that changes the Buckeyes’ short-term outlook.
- The Big 12 acknowledged an officiating error on the final play of BYU–Notre Dame and announced a review of its end-of-game replay procedures, a finding that raises questions about the handling of that outcome but does not alter the result.
- Week 7 elevated new contenders such as UCLA, Kentucky and Ole Miss while denting traditional powers like Georgia, Notre Dame, Alabama and Texas, a shake-up that complicates CFP resumes and makes late-season results even more decisive.
