Eight ranked teams went down, defenses took center stage, and a few narratives flipped fast.

In this Complete BS episode, Brien Schmauch and AV break down a packed Week 7 and what it means next.

They go deep on:

• Red River recap: Texas 23–6 over OU — five sacks, three picks, and why Arch managed while the Longhorn defense dictated. What Mateer's post-surgery start did (and didn't) change.

• Proof in Eugene: Indiana's road win at Oregon — six sacks, two INTs, 3-for-14 on Ducks third downs, and how that reshapes the Hoosiers' playoff path.

• Illibuck takeaways: Ohio State methodically handles Illinois — turnovers swing it, defense travels, and the remaining questions on OSU's explosive ceiling.

• Top-4 snapshot: Brien's board — Miami, Ohio State, Indiana, Texas A&M — who's separating and who's still searching.

• Game balls:

  • Kansas State RB Joe Jackson powers a TCU upset

  • Texas duo Colin Simmons & Malik Muhammad tilt Red River

  • WR spotlights: Elijah Sarratt (Indiana) and Makai Lemon (USC)

• Accountability corner:

  • Ole Miss focus check after a narrow WSU escape

  • Florida State's identity on defense — scheme, personnel, and urgency

Plus: what Texas and OU must fix on offense, and why Indiana's schedule sets up a December collision course.
