College Football Power Rankings: How did the top 25 look in Week 7? Here's the latest top 25 from our college football experts, who provide their insight on each team's Week 7 performance. No. 1 Texas Longhorns Previous ranking: 3 The Longhorns are 6-0 for the first time since 2009, and they've trailed for only 3½ minutes this year (after Oklahoma's first-quarter field goal on Saturday). They've lost multiple running backs, including leading returning rusher from last year CJ Baxter, to season-ending injuries. And of course, starting quarterback Quinn Ewers missed 2½ games with an oblique injury only to see backup Arch Manning star in his place, yet there has been no hint of a quarterback controversy. ESPN's FPI gives Texas a 61% chance of winning the SEC and a 32.8% chance to win the national championship, by far the best odds in the country. The Longhorns have survived injuries, adversity, a road trip to Michigan and the annual test in Dallas against Oklahoma. At this point, their biggest obstacle is handling the expectations and the pressure, beginning with Saturday's game against No. 5 Georgia, one of the most anticipated games of the season before a very manageable stretch at Vanderbilt, home against Florida, at Arkansas and home against Kentucky. If the Longhorns can walk the tightrope to get there, the Nov. 30 game at Texas A&M will be one of the most heated in the history of the rivalry, returning after 13 seasons with what would appear right now to be a lot on the line for both teams. -- Dave Wilson No. 2 Oregon Ducks Previous ranking: 2 The Ducks took a major step toward advancing to the playoff and, potentially, the Big Ten championship in their first year in the league. Quarterback Dillon Gabriel and the Oregon offense were spectacular in the 32-31 victory over second-ranked Ohio State. Wideouts Evan Stewart and Tez Johnson showed they can make plays downfield against anyone. Jordan James ran tough between the tackles to keep the Oregon running game rolling. And Gabriel underscored why he should be on the short list of Heisman Trophy contenders. The Ducks still have to travel to Michigan on Nov. 2. But otherwise, Oregon should be heavy favorites to win its other five remaining games. With a talented offense finding its groove, the Ducks are looking like legitimate national title contenders. -- Jake Trotter No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes Previous ranking: 1 The controversial offensive pass interference penalty on receiver Jeremiah Smith and quarterback Will Howard's inexplicable decision to slide on the final play consumed the oxygen in Ohio State's postgame news conference. Yet the biggest reason the Buckeyes ultimately lost 32-31 at Oregon? Their defense got torched. The Ducks could've easily scored 20 more points. Oregon missed a 43-yard field goal, came up with only three points off two drives that reached the 2-yard line, missed a pair of point-after tries and then had a spitting penalty that caused it to settle for a field goal. The Buckeyes didn't force a turnover, didn't record a sack and couldn't slow Oregon's running game. All-America cornerback Denzel Burke had a particularly rough night in man coverage. Ohio State's season is far from over. But the Buckeyes will have to be much better defensively moving forward after failing their first big test. -- Trotter College Football Power Rankings: How did the top 25 look in Week 7? - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM Our college football experts break down how each top 25 team performed in Week 7.

Oregon Ducks pick up prediction to flip 4-star Baylor LB Kaleb Burns Burns, the No. 34 LB and No. 332 overall player in the 2025 class, was in Eugene over the weekend for the win over the Buckeyes. Standing at 6-foot-0, 220 pounds, Burns also possesses elite speed that the Ducks have emphasized under the Lanning staff, running the 100m and 200m in track and field. Burns has been committed to Baylor since July of 2024, but the Ducks offered him a scholarship last month and quickly got him on campus to check out Eugene. If Wiltfong is correct in his prediction, it appears that the visit went very well.

Biased Much!

Can someone make that make sense to me? The Oregon Ducks went into the biggest game of their season, and quite possibly the biggest game of the year, and won. They beat the then-ranked No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes at home, 32-31, and took a decided lead in the race for the Big Ten Conference Championship Game, while also getting onto the inside track for the College Football Playoff. They beat the then-ranked No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes at home, 32-31, and took a decided lead in the race for the Big Ten Conference Championship Game, while also getting onto the inside track for the College Football Playoff. Despite all of that, their standing in the ESPN Football Power Index did not change. They still sit at No. 8 in the nation, per ESPN’s FPI, behind Ohio State (No. 2), a 5-2 Ole Miss team (No. 4), and both Notre Dame (No. 6) and Tennessee (No. 7). I’ve spent a lot of my career using ESPN’s FPI as a data point in analysis, and I value the win probability metrics that it pumps out each week. But if it continues to disagree so completely with what I see with my naked eye, that might have to change.

College Football Playoff Predictions: Oregon's win against Ohio State creates a shakeup at the top College Football Playoff Prediction: Oregon's win creates a shakeup - On3 WWW.ON3.COM Andy Staples projects the 12-team College Football Playoff bracket after a weekend where Oregon beat Ohio State and LSU beat Ole Miss.

Oregon's win over Ohio State meant so much more than Dan Lanning securing a signature win Let’s put into perspective what this Ohio State team is. The Buckeyes are a juggernaut talent-wise. It returned a large chunk of a team that took last year’s national champions to the final moments. There are five (maybe more) players on that team who should be in the NFL right now but opted to come back. Then the Buckeyes went out and added Howard, running back Quinshon Judkins and safety Caleb Downs in the portal. This Ohio State team is as deep and talented as the Georgia teams Lanning coached. Ohio State was supposed to be the sport’s super team in a season where it’s becoming increasingly evident that there may not be one. What if that is Oregon now? The Ducks are my No. 1 team in the country. And the best part? They made plenty of mistakes in the game that would have cost previous Ducks teams. Oregon fans watched a botched extra point, a failed two-point conversion, a failed fourth-down conversion inside Ohio State’s five, a player being ejected for spitting on another player, edge-rusher Jordan Burch missing the game because of an injury. Oregon fans were waiting for the final shoe to drop, for the Buckeyes to take advantage of any of those errors and win the football game. It didn’t. The only shoe that dropped to the turf was Howard’s slide once it was too late for Ohio State to attempt a game-winning field goal. Oregon didn’t play its best game and beat Ohio State. Say it again: Oregon didn’t play its best game and beat Ohio State. Oregon's win meant so much for Dan Lanning than a signature win - On3 WWW.ON3.COM Lanning's build of the Oregon football program has taken two years, but the Ducks have finally reached the mountaintop.

Oregon Ducks take over No. 1 spot in 2026 recruiting rankings after latest commitment Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks are winning on the field and on the recruiting trail. After a masterful 32-31 victory over Ohio State, the No. 2 ranked Ducks picked up another big-time victory on Sunday, landing a commitment from 4-star defensive lineman Tomuhini Topui, the No. 96 player and No. 8 defensive lineman in the 2026 class. With the commitment, Oregon’s 2026 class moved into the No. 1 spot in the national rankings, with a total of six commitments, five of whom are blue-chippers ranked inside the top 130 in the nation. Headlined by 5-star OT Kodi Greene, and buoyed by 4-star RB Tradarian Ball, 4-star QB Jonas Williams, and 4-star DL Tony Cumberland, Dan Lanning is clearly building one of the strongest recruiting classes of his career, and he’s using wins like we saw in Autzen Stadium on Saturday night to do so.
