Kirk Herbstreit updates his top six: Tennessee jumps Georgia

ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit has ranked his top six teams following Week 7 action, which will go down as one of of the greatest weekends in the history of the sport.

In one of the best games you’ll ever see, Tennessee took down Alabama in a 52-49 thriller. In a top-10 battle, Michigan ran all over Penn State en route to a 41-17 win. Ohio State had the week off. Georgia took care of business against Vanderbilt. Clemson took down FSU despite a late push from the Seminoles, and Ole Miss beat Auburn, 48-34. In double overtime, TCU beat Oklahoma State, 43-40, ending the Cowboys’ undefeated season. And to close the night, Utah earned a huge win over USC, 43-42.
