Week 7 was chaotic day of futility for NCAA top-10 teams

It was a bad weekend to be a top-10 team in college football.

Week 7 turned out to be one of the most chaotic days in the history of college football, at least as it relates to the AP rankings, given how many top teams lost and the way they lost. 

Of the top-seven teams in the AP poll entering play on Saturday? A staggering five of them were beaten.

Of the two teams that did win, they both came down to a matter of inches. 

Week 7 was a bad day for top-10 NCAA teams

Just a quick rundown of the chaos...

• The No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs were upset, at home, by unranked Auburn.
• The No. 2 Notre Dame Fighting Irish lost a chaotic game at No. 8 BYU that ended with a controversial non-pass interference on the game's final play.
• No. 3 Miami was able to survive in overtime over unranked Florida State, thanks to two controversial players that negated a potential game-tying touchdown on a holding penalty, and then a fight for possession on a game-ending Hail Mary attempt.
• No. 4 Ohio State was able to sneak by No. 5 Indiana by a matter of inches.
• No. 6 Alabama lost by double digits to No. 14 Tennessee.
• No. 7 Texas lost at home to unranked Florida, while quarterback Arch Manning struggled to move the ball against one of the worst pass defenses in the nation. 

It is going to cause havoc at the top of the polls on Sunday, and leaves a lot of questions as to how the voters will untangle all of this.

Does so many teams losing give the voters a bailout to not change much?

Does Miami move up to No. 1? Is it Ohio State? Is it a sign that everything about this season is wide open for a championship with no clear-cut front-runner?

Whatever the case may end up being, it was an eye-opening day across the sport.
