NCAA Week 7 Top 25

We had some interesting upsets this week, and many were centered in the Carolina area.  The East Carolina Pirates knocked NC State out of the Top 25 by upsetting them in overtime.  Kentucky shocked South Carolina, although the Gamecocks were able to remain in the Top 25 due to poor performances of the "cusp" teams.

Three more unbeatens lost this week.  The biggest upset was posted by Wisconsin, who beat Number One Ohio State handily.  It was the second consecutive week that a Number One lost, so Utah might be watching their backs.  Nebraska, a top contender in the Big XII, had their fortunes reversed by Texas, who re-entered the Top 25 with a commanding defensive performance.  Nevada entered Hawaii, always a difficult place to visit, and lost their perfect season.
