The rankings are going to look a little bit different this week. That’s typically what happens when seven top 25 teams lose on the same weekend.

Most of those losses came in matchups featuring two ranked teams, with only two unranked opponents knocking off ranked opponents on Saturday (Florida def. No. 23 Mississippi State; Virginia Tech def. No. 22 Duke).

In the B1G, Saturday night was headlined by the colossal matchup between No. 4 Ohio State and No. 9 Penn State. The Buckeyes escaped with a 27-26 win to remain undefeated.

The conferences other ranked teams also pulled out victories this weekend. No. 14 Michigan knocked off Northwestern, and No. 21 Michigan State beat Central Michigan. No. 15 Wisconsin was on a bye.
