College Football Petty Rankings: The best social media posts from Week 7

Week 7 of the college football season delivered another round of stunning upsets, rivalry payback and social media admins who weren’t about to let a big win go uncelebrated. 

From breaking losing streaks against bitter rivals to storming enemy territory and turning opposing mascots into punchlines, the best accounts know how to twist the knife. 

Some brought receipts, others let the scoreboard do the talking and a few made sure the losing side would be hearing about it long after the final whistle. 

Here are 10 of the best college football troll posts from Week 7.

Auburn 27, Georgia 24

The Tigers snapped their nine-game losing streak in the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry, stunning the top-ranked Bulldogs on a walkoff field goal. 


BYU 28, Notre Dame 24

Florida 27, Texas 24

One big hat, one big road win for the Gators and a whole lot of burnt-orange silence in Austin.

The Cowboys’ mascot couldn’t have written it any more painfully.


Kansas State 35, Kansas 24

The Wildcats invaded Norman and left with the victory, leaving the Sonners’ faithful with plenty to stew over.

Tennessee 26, Alabama 10

The Volunteers celebrated with a cigar-inspired caption that made their victory on the Third Saturday in October even sweeter.


Wake Forest 41, California 7

Two weeks after a 57-3 rout of Stanford, the Demon Deacons completed a dominating two-game sweep of the ACC’s two Golden State teams.
