Everyone has an opinion it seems when it comes to the passion and debate of the great sport of college football in this country. And if you’re looking for some of the opinion makers, many can be found at ESPN.
Each week, the college football staff at the behemoth sports media outlet works together to come up with an updated college football power rankings list, and it’s no different after a wild and entertaining Week 7 of the sport.
Ohio State got to sit back and watch all the chaos while it sat idly by with an off week, but the Buckeyes will be back at it, hosting Iowa on Saturday afternoon.
But what OSU witnessed was four top-ten teams going down when Alabama, USC, Oklahoma State, and Penn State all lost. That had a major impact on the latest ESPN power rankings, but how did it affect Ohio State and other contenders?
Here’s a look at the updated ESPN top 25 power rankings after Week 7.
