Alex Golesh gets emotional after Auburn stuns No. 1 Georgia (1:43)

It was a dramatic Week 7 in college football. No. 1 Georgia lost to Auburn. No. 4 Indiana fell to No. 5 Ohio State. No. 6 Alabama was defeated by Tennessee and No. 7 Texas got knocked off by Florida.

The Bulldogs' loss is the third different No. 1 team to go down this season. The last time three No. 1 teams lost at this point in the season was 1990. The Hoosiers' loss snapped a 22-game winning streak.

Five teams from the 2025 College Football Playoff field now have two or more losses. Three of them -- Texas Tech, Miami and James Madison -- remain undefeated.

Will this week's chaos ultimately keep these teams from the CFP? We'll see.
