  "account": "College football polls underwent a massive shakeup in Week 7, with every AP Top 25 spot featuring a different team than the previous week. This drastic change occurred after five of the top-10 ranked teams fell, including No. 1 Georgia's upset loss to Auburn and No. 7 Texas' second-straight defeat. The new AP Top 25 poll drastically differs from last week's and the preseason poll, with four of the top-10 ranked teams unranked altogether. Notable changes include Texas dropping from No. 5 to No. 19, Texas A&M going from No. 8 to unranked, and Oklahoma vanishing entirely from the top 10. The biggest beneficiaries were Miami, jumping to No. 1 for the first time since 2002, and BYU, climbing to No. 2 after a series of upsets. UCLA and Utah also benefited, both entering the top-10.",
