What It All Means: Week 7
It was a week that confirmed a whole lot of what we already knew. After the previous few weeks of craziness, that’s okay.
How do you know the college football season has gone bonkers? Iowa and Cincinnati were in the top three in mid-October.
It took a whole lot of upsets and a whole bunch of twists and turns to get to this point, but this week made everything a bit clearer.
We already knew Georgia was awesome, but beating Kentucky as handily as it did shouldn’t be blown off. The Bulldogs are winning with frightening ease.
We already knew something was going to slip with Iowa at some point, and the defense was going to go a game without forcing 193 turnovers.
We already knew Cincinnati was good and UCF had fallen after the injury to QB Dillon Gabriel, but the Bearcat blowout win cemented just how focused and strong the team really is.

Ranking the playoff contenders
The Oklahoma offense was going to show up at some point, and after the way it rolled late against Texas, it found its guy in Caleb Williams to make the team look like we thought it would.
Alabama lost, then Alabama got its mind right, and then Alabama rolled Mississippi State to look like it might be the best team in the country when all the parts are humming.
We’re now getting down to a few teams left to be in the title chase, and we’re also now looking at what might be The Georgia Invitational unless someone can rise up and pull off something amazing.
We know more insanity, more upsets, and more big things are on the way. For this week, though, it was more like college football took a deep breath to get ready for the wild second half of the year.
