By Week 6 of the 2007 college football season, we had already seen plenty of silliness. Michigan had fallen to Appalachian State in a legendary Week 1 upset, and three top-five teams (Oklahoma, Florida and West Virginia) had lost in Week 5, two to unranked foes. Kentucky and Boston College were in the top 10, and Cal was in the top five -- not the most common of occurrences.
The sport still seemed like it was ruled by a pair of untouchables, though. Top-ranked LSU had beaten its first five opponents, including an excellent Virginia Tech team, by an average of 40-6.
