    Week 7 of the college football season did not disappoint.

    For months, sports fans had Oct. 12 circled on their calendars because of a college football slate complete with rivalry games and ranked matchups. Headlined by No. 3 Oregon's one-point win over No. 2 Ohio State, seven ranked teams earned one-score wins.

    Elsewhere in Big Ten country, No. 4 Penn State completed a thrilling road comeback over USC in OT. In the SEC, No. 1 Texas made a resounding statement with a dominant win over Oklahoma, No. 7 Alabama narrowly escaped South Carolina, No. 8 Tennessee snuck by Florida in OT and No. 13 LSU outlasted No. 9 Ole Miss in an instant OT classic.

    For a second consecutive week, there is sure to be some movement in the polls.
