Big upsets and narrow escapes highlight chaotic Week 7

Do you know what they call the guy who finishes last in his class in med school? They call him doctor.

That's the lesson of Week 7's Saturday misery, a day in which six top-16 teams fell and a few more came oh so close to doing the same. But for all the hand-wringing at Notre Dame or UCF after near-misses, there's something to be said about simply enjoying a win as the dominoes crash around you.

Ask any coach, and they'll argue the same refrain: Winning's hard. Certainly if you watch enough Alabama games, it doesn't seem like it, but don't let Nick Saban fool you.
