The College Football season completed its seventh week on Saturday with three ranked teams losing. On Friday, the 16th ranked University of Utah lost 27-19 to the Arizona State University Sun Devils. Then on Saturday, the third ranked University of Oregon Ducks upset the second ranked Ohio State University Buckeyes 32-31, and the 13th ranked Louisiana State University Tigers defeating the ninth ranked University of Mississippi Rebels 29-26 in overtime.
Of the three aforementioned games, the most significant was clearly the Oregon win over Ohio State. That is not just because the game featured two schools ranked in the top three, but because Oregon continued its undefeated season and now has improved to six wins and zero losses. Meanwhile, number one ranked Texas smoked 18th ranked Oklahoma 34-3.
