No. 13 LSU may have been idle for Week 6 with an open date, but Saturday's slate quickly became one to remember with a number of AP Top 25 teams losing to inferior opponents.

The instant "eye-catcher" is No. 1 Alabama dropping its contest to Vanderbilt in an SEC thriller, but the list goes on and on.

Now, heading into Week 7, there will be significant shake up in both the SEC and current AP Top 25 Poll with the Tigers having an opportunity to move up after four Top 12 teams lost.

- No. 1 Alabama at Vanderbilt
- No. 10 Michigan at Washington
- No. 11 USC at Minnesota
- No. 4 Tennessee at Arkansas
