The big surprise of Week 7 was unquestionably LSU's big win over Georgia, punctuated by a 59-yard run by quarterback Joe Burrow on a zone-read play that fooled the Georgia defense badly and set up a touchdown run by the running back when they ran the play again. Other surprises included Texas struggling to put away Baylor (although the Longhorns lost starting quarterback Sam Ehlinger on the opening drive) and Michigan State upsetting Penn State on the road with a late comeback victory.
S&P+ hasn't loved the performances of LSU, Texas, or Michigan State this year, yet those teams keep producing wins.
