College football polls: Updated AP Top 25, Coaches Poll rankings after Week 7 image

The past two weeks of college football have been insane. 

In Week 6, the Vanderbilt faithful carried their goalposts two miles to throw them in a river after beating Alabama. 

One week later, the Crimson Tide picked up a struggle win over South Carolina, and Vandy continued rolling in the SEC, beating Kentucky.

The Big Ten was the focal point of the spotlight in Week 6, though. No. 3 Oregon hosted No. 2 Ohio State, with many anticipating the Buckeyes welcoming the Ducks to the conference with a blowout victory. Oregon pulled its best Lee Corso, said, "Not so fast," and came away with a one-point win. Penn State survived a scare from USC as the Trojans' struggles in a new conference continue. 

With that, here's a look at how the AP Top 25 and Coaches Polls look entering Week 8:
