AP college football Week 7 poll reaction: What's next for Top 25

play
Which college football team had the most damaging loss in Week 7? (1:42)

Well, that was quite a Saturday.

For the first time in the history of the AP college football poll, which dates to 1936, five of the top seven teams lost on the same day. In addition to No. 1 Georgia, No. 2 Notre Dame, No. 5 Indiana, No. 6 Alabama and No. 7 Texas all going down to defeat, No. 3 Miami needed double overtime -- and perhaps the day's wildest finish -- to beat unranked Florida State.

Given all that, the new AP poll is something like a game of Yahtzee, with all the teams going in a giant dice shaker to be jostled around for a bit before seeing how they come out.

Here's what the voters came up with, along with a key stat from this weekend and what's next for each team.
