There's only one undefeated team left in the entire Big Ten and SEC combined. UCLA, which won three total games last season, is 6-0 with a new home in the top 10 -- for now. With the way this campaign is going, just give it a minute. Five of the top seven teams in the Associated Press poll lost Saturday, shaking up the playoff picture and unveiling yet another new No. 1. It was the most losses by the AP's top seven on a single day in the poll's history, which stretches back to 1936.
From start to finish Saturday, Week 7 went down to the wire, with Texas and Alabama adding second losses to their résumés, Georgia falling at home to Auburn and Notre Dame coming up short in its first real test of the season at BYU. With only two Saturdays remaining until the College Football Playoff selection committee reveals its first ranking on Nov. 3, the playoff picture remains muddled with no clear-cut No. 1 team asserting itself above the pack.
1. Miami Hurricanes (6-0) - The Hurricanes eked out a double-overtime win at home against rival Florida State. While Miami lacks a true statement win, it does have three road victories, including two against ACC teams above .500. Miami's undefeated record and statistical dominance continue to outweigh its average schedule strength.
2. Ohio State Buckeyes (6-1) - With Saturday's win at Indiana, the Buckeye have two top-25 road wins against Big Ten opponents and have won five straight since their Week 2 loss at Texas. Ohio State's best win is on the road against the defending national champs.
