College football experienced an unprecedented series of upsets during the seventh week of the 2027 season, as five of the top seven teams in the Associated Press poll suffered defeats on the same day for the first time in the poll’s 90-year history. Additionally, the top two teams, Georgia and Notre Dame, both lost on Saturday — a dual setback last recorded in 2012 — while third-ranked Miami narrowly escaped a similar fate after an overtime battle.

Georgia, the No. 1 ranked team, was upset at home by Auburn, a 19.5-point underdog, losing 27-24. This marked Auburn’s first top-25 win since a four-overtime victory over No. 15 Texas A&M in 2024. The game featured a critical performance by Auburn quarterback Byrum Brown and a costly late penalty on Georgia’s Gabe Harris Jr. that set up Auburn’s game-winning field goal. Despite the loss, Georgia’s position remains relatively stable in the rankings.

Meanwhile, No. 2 Notre Dame also fell, while No. 4 Indiana suffered a narrow home defeat to No. 5 Ohio State, 22-15. Indiana’s loss snapped a 22-game winning streak. Key mistakes, including two lost fumbles and a crucial reception out of bounds by receiver Nick Marsh late in the game, proved costly. Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin exited the game late with an arm injury, leaving a freshman backup in an uncertain position for upcoming challenges against No. 19 Southern California and Oregon.

No. 6 Alabama was defeated 10-6 by No. 14 Tennessee in Knoxville, marking a significant win for the Volunteers, who have now won three consecutive meetings against Alabama in their home stadium following a long losing streak. Tennessee’s defense stifled Alabama’s offense, limiting them to just 10 points. Despite the loss, Alabama’s schedule eases in the coming weeks.

No. 7 Texas lost at home to Florida, 27-24, after blowing a 17-3 lead. The Longhorns became the first team since 1961 to reach No. 1 in the AP poll and then lose consecutive games to unranked opponents. Texas quarterback Arch Manning struggled with turnovers and a stalled offense in the second half against a Florida defense ranked near the bottom nationally. Texas now faces a challenging slate of upcoming games against several top-25 teams, putting its playoff hopes in jeopardy.

In the SEC, after these results, there are no teams remaining undefeated in conference play, with 12 teams carrying one or two losses, underscoring the league's depth and competitiveness. Notably, No. 15 Kentucky is tied for first in the SEC alongside Georgia after securing a 21-13 road victory over Oklahoma.

Elsewhere, Houston improved to 6-1, powered by quarterback Conner Weigman’s five touchdown passes in a 35-32 win over Oklahoma State. The Cougars remain behind three undefeated Big 12 teams: Texas Tech, Brigham Young, and Utah, the latter holding the nation’s longest winning streak at 12 games.

In the Big Ten, UCLA emerged as the last undefeated team following a 17-7 win over Wisconsin, with backup quarterback Ty Dieffenbach performing effectively. Northwestern secured a 24-21 victory at Michigan State, marking a bright spot for the Wildcats and a challenging stretch for the Spartans, who dropped to 2-5 overall and 0-4 in conference competition.

The American Athletic Conference’s Texas-San Antonio moved to 6-1 overall and 3-1 in conference after a narrow 38-34 victory over Navy, led by quarterback Owen McCown’s career-high 359 passing yards.

The week culminated in a late-night thriller as Oregon’s backup quarterback Dylan Raiola led the Ducks on a 20-play, 82-yard game-winning drive to defeat Nebraska 17-14, avoiding a potentially season-sealing third loss.

This series of unexpected results has reshaped the college football landscape, adding uncertainty and excitement as the regular season approaches its midpoint.
