What obstacles are the Top 25 teams facing entering the midseason point?

A look at the new Top 25 after Week 7.

Indiana moved up to No. 3 in the AP Top 25 college football poll for its highest ranking in program history, while Texas and USC were among five teams entering the poll.

Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Georgia Tech -- and, of course, Indiana -- continue to surprise in the bowl picture.

SVP and Stanford Steve go LIVE for the first time in SVPod history to break down all the action from Week 7 of the college football season. Starting with the story of the day, the Indiana Hoosiers. Is Curt Cignetti’s squad the BEST in the country? Stanford Steve may have a strong opinion on that. But what about Ohio State? The Buckeyes cruised to a ranked win over Illinois on the road. Alabama also looked the part on the road, and Georgia found a way, with a little help, in the plains to beat Auburn. Plus, Texas takes down Oklahoma in a convincing Red River win, Tennessee and Ole Miss survive, Penn State continues to fall apart and more, including SVP’s recap of Nebraska’s win over Maryland and his live reactions to Arizona falling short against BYU. | SVPod Approximate timecodes: (0:00) Intro (1:50) Indiana-Oregon recap (7:47) Indiana is a top __ team in the country (10:29) Auburn was a heartbreaker (20:04) Georgia always signs up for 60 (23:27) Texas Tech is GOOD good (28:03) USC cruises over Michigan (32:12) LSU-South Carolina recap (36:00) Ole Miss held on against Wazzu (39:40) What a win for Pitt (43:05) Texas A&M-Florida recap (45:36) Tennessee survives Arkansas (48:41) Ohio State’s defense is unbelievable (52:38) Red River recap (59:17) Alabama won a big one at Mizzou (1:03:05) Maryland blew another 4Q lead… (1:05:24) Where does Penn State go from here?
