College Football Top 25. Week 7 Edition.

Week 6 of the college football season gave us some great games.

We had a Red Rivalry for the ages, as Texas vs Oklahoma went all the way down to a last second hail mary pass to get a winner.

It took not one, not two, but three overtimes for the Trojans to get rid of those pesky Cats.

The Bulldogs grabbed the Wildcats by the throat and didn’t let go.

A leprechaun came into the Cardinals nest and got his hat snatched like he never owned it.

A massive coaching blunder caused the Hurricanes to die off against the Yellow Jackets.

A range of Cougars came into a Bears den and got ran out, licking their wounds.

We had favorites show why they were the favorites, and had upsets that showed why you NEVER count your chickens before they hatch.

I’m here to give you the REAL Top 25 College Football Rankings. Not that bias crap that ESPN and the AP put out there.

Next game: home against Missouri.
Game airs at 7:30PM(EST) on SEC Network.

25. Wyoming Cowboys 5-1
