Bleacher Report's Top 25 College Football Poll: Week 7

If there is one thing that has been consistent this year it's that there are only five legitimate teams in the country.

All the other teams can lose at any time.

It was proven this weekend as the top five teams dominated their games once again while five of the remaining 20 teams lost.

Three top 25 teams lost their first game of the year this weekend.

Here is the latest Bleacher Report Top 25 voted by 20 B/R writers.
