Last year, Week 7 was full of upsets...
This year, several have already happened, and more are brewing.
LSU is crushing Georgia.
Pitt is leading Notre Dame, IN TERRA HAUTE, in the 4th quarter.
Auburn loses at home to Tennessee?
There's craziness out there... stay tuned.

IOWA STATE WHUPS WEST VIRGINIA!!!
Matt Campbell has been doing wonders with Iowa State for the past three years. They've come from NO WHERE, to being a team to concerned about. If you don't think college football is fun, I encourage you to watch the last 2 minutes of the ISU win over WVU. The fans stormed the field. The conference will fine them... but, I LOVE it!

here’s how 2018 shapes up through Week 7 compared to past playoff season:
2018 - 8 undefeated teams (5 in P5)
2017 - 8 (6)
2016 - 11 (9)
2015 - 14 (10)
2014 - 6 (4) |

Worst hot take I am seeing this morning:
"Upsets 'prove' that rankings, Vegas and computers are stupid. This is why we need a 16 or 24 team playoff."
Baloney. Horrible argument.
That solution would use the same rankings. it's also less likely to crown the best team. Until all of these systems are able to get inside the head of 18-22 years olds, about 75% accuracy is the best they can hope to achieve.

or the equally-as-bad corollary:
In a fair or unbiased playoff, even if bad teams get in at least there is no disputing the choices.
So, you are willing to dilute the product all in the name of "lack of dispute"?
