Week 7 of the 2025 college football season was full of monster wins and heart-pounding action. Here are the highlights!

7. Vanderbilt (17): As we mentioned earlier, history is set to be made as Vanderbilt will almost certainly set a new school record for highest-ever AP Top 25 poll ranking. The ceiling for Vanderbilt's rise will be Alabama, the only team that it's lost to this season, but the floor is LSU's previous ranking just on the outside of the top 10.

Boston College fell to a new low this past Saturday, once again collapsing in the second half to lose by two scores to regional rival UConn. Things continue to look bleaker for the Eagles, as a road trip to Kentucky looms with a ranked Louisville squad.

Two top 25 teams played on Friday night. No. 2 Miami (FL) hosted Louisville in an ACC game, and No. 25 Nebraska traveled to take on Minnesota in a Big Ten Conference showdown. Surprisingly, both teams suffered losses in a pair of big upsets in Week 8.
