Is there anything better than college football? Week 7 lived up to the hype, with great game after great game all day. Here’s a quick recap:
In one of the best games you’ll ever see, Tennessee took down Alabama in a 52-49 thriller. In a top-10 battle, Michigan ran all over Penn State en route to a 41-17 win. Ohio State had the week off, Georgia took care of business against Vanderbilt, Clemson took down FSU despite a late push from the Seminoles and Ole Miss beat Auburn 48-34. In double overtime, TCU beat Oklahoma State, 43-40, ending the Cowboys’ undefeated season. The Tar Heels beat rival Duke, 38-35, in what was a great game. And to close the night, Utah earned a huge win over USC, 43-42.
Right now, national championship odds, courtesy of BetMGM, are: Ohio State (plus-175), Georgia (plus-200), Alabama (plus-450), Clemson (plus-1100), Michigan (plus-1600), Tennessee (plus-1600), and then TCU, UCLA and Oregon (plus-5000).
Though the first round of College Football Playoff rankings are not released until Nov. 1, I tried to think like a member of the committee and projected what the they would look like if released today.
