    The ESPN "College GameDay" crew revealed their predictions for some of the biggest matchups from the Week 7 slate on Saturday while the show was live in Eugene, Oregon.

    During the show, the crew debated the winners of No. 2 Ohio State versus No. 3 Oregon, No. 9 Ole Miss versus No. 13 LSU and much more.

    At the finale of the show, they predicted the winner of No. 18 Kansas State versus Colorado. The entire "College GameDay" panel believed in the Buffaloes to pull off the upset, but every member was wrong in the end.

    The Buffaloes fell 31-28 to the Wildcats, falling to 4-2 on the year after snapping a three-game win streak.

    They headed into the game as a 3.5-point underdog , which proved to be an incredible betting line by the oddsmakers.

    The consensus belief between the "College GameDay" panel, which included Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, Pat McAfee and Kirk Herbstreit, was that momentum for the Buffaloes and home-field advantage would help CU overtake the Wildcats.

    While Colorado's crowd played a major role in the game, the Wildcats' running game proved to be the biggest leverage point. Kansas State recorded 185 rushing yards, compared to -29 yards on the ground for the Buffaloes.

    Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders had a quality game in the passing realm, posting three touchdowns and 388 yards while completing 34-of-40 pass attempts.

    He was sacked six times in the matchup, which led to -50 yards for the quarterback.

    Another struggle for Colorado was two-way superstar Travis Hunter sidelined with an apparent shoulder injury. He suffered the injury in the first half and did not return to the game.
