Week 7 of college football turned the rankings upside down, and the Bottom 10 was watching it all unfold. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian was asked about the upcoming week and what would need evaluating after the Longhorns lost a second straight game. He responded that everything needed to be evaluated, and when pressed about his quarterback, he simply said, "Everything is everything."
While the top teams were falling, the Charlotte 49ers were busy with their own memorable performance, and the column notes that the soon-to-be former top Bottom 10 team was taking care of business. The rankings this week include Northern Illinois at 0-6, whose move from the MAC to the Mountain West now puts them in cold-weather trips to Illinois, and ULM at 0-6, which faces Southern Miss in a matchup the writer calls Hulmaween.
UTEP, now 1-6, is lined up for a season-ending game at Northern Illinois just before Thanksgiving, a matchup the writer says will only grow bigger if the Miners reach the College Football Playoff expansion. Kennesaw State, at 1-5, lost its Pillow Fight of the Week after a last-second field goal by ninth-ranked Missouri State.
The AP Top 25 poll also came under fire, with the writer describing the week as a Coveted Fifth Spot slot machine and joking about voters being drunk. Sacramento State, now 0-4 in MACtion, rounds out the column, which argues that anything can happen in this chaotic stretch of the season.
