So, I do not know if you've heard about it, but everything is messy in college football.
Well, apart from Alabama, and even The Tide have some problems with his star quarterback and a sprained knee.
But all the other scenarios, at least as far as the Top 10 poll AP Top 25 or the portrait of the college football qualifiers, seem to be on the table now, after a weekend in which four top-10 teams have lost and two others – – No. 9 Texas and No. 10 UCF – escape in less than a touchdown against the opponents of the conference.
The transitive ownership of wins has become particularly chaotic, with results such as the Tennessee victory over Auburn and the Michigan State win at Penn State. Basically, all profiles and summaries of college football should be written in pencil for next month, because the carnage we saw in the 7th week should continue until the end of the month.
This carnage is good news for some, like UCF (see below) and Notre Dame, as well as for any other team that has the chance to hold an undefeated record. Avoiding losses is the name of the game nowadays, and this will be rewarded by rapid advances in new college football rankings.
Here's how we think the new AP Top 25 poll will take place on Sunday:
1. Alabama (Last Week – 1): The status of Tua Tagovailoa's knee will be a topic of conversation that will undoubtedly pass under the skin of Nick Saban, although it should be noted that the student doubling could have returned to the game against Missouri and s & # 39; 39, exercise all week. Even without Tua, Jalen Hurts proved once again that he was more than capable of guiding the Tide towards a win, leaving him the last undefeated team of the SEC.
2. State of Ohio (3): Dwayne Haskins' passing figures are becoming ridiculous. The Haskins Heisman Trophy debate is expected to continue to grow after losing 412 yards on a 33-44 win in a 30-14 victory over Minnesota.
3. Clemson (4): The Tigers were on leave in week 7.
4. Our Lady (5): If you get 2012 type vibrations with the way Notre Dame survives some of those tight games, there's a reason for that. This team, also led by its veterans in defense, is 7-0 for the first time since this year.
5. Georgia (2): The Bulldogs' scouting status has been aided by the carnage elsewhere in the top 10, keeping a team that should always be considered the SEC's favorite East to the limit (if not) in the top five.
6. Texas (9): The Longhorns were beaten by Baylor, saw Sam Ehlinger come out of the match due to injury and were almost upset by a loss of speed after the decisive victory over Oklahoma. But just by surviving in a 23-17 win, Texas will progress.
7. LSU (13): It is not because LSU beat Georgia that the Tigers will be guaranteed to skip the Bulldogs in the AP poll. Look no further than last week, when LSU went to Florida after losing to Gainesville. The important number here is not the national standings, but the defeat that keeps LSU in the SEC playoff race and college football.
8. UCF (10): Saturday was the first time the UCF appeared to be about to qualify for the college football playoffs. Last year, the Knights started the season too far from the radar to resume conference ground. Now they have passed one of their toughest tests of the regular season and have climbed into the top 10 with a win over Memphis.
9. Michigan (12): Everyone had Michigan in a standby position as the Wolverines defeated their opponents most of last month, but Saturday's win against Wisconsin sounded the alarm: Jim Harbaugh has a team ready to compete with Ohio State a Big Ten Championship.
10. Oklahoma (11): The Sooners were on leave during week 7.
11. Florida (14): Expect the Gators to make a slight upward movement after a leak in advance and their return to Vanderbilt. It's a spirited match that has not had the best look, but it keeps Florida one of the losing teams for its annual rivalry match against Georgia in two weeks.
12. Oregon (17): The Ducks have the face-to-face advantage in the North Pac-12, which could propel Mario Cristobal to the Pac-12 championship game-they can show up at the conference table.
13. West Virginia (6): Entering the Ames night is not fun for the Big 12 contenders, and the moment of that defeat for West Virginia is just as damaging as some of the other giants that were killed by the Cyclones over the years. This time, however, it is not the end of the season, you are moving as far from the loss of your goals as mid-season, eliminate the margin of maneuver in the ranking with a greater defeat at conferences.
14. Kentucky (18): The Wildcats were on leave in week 7.
15. State NC (20): The Wolfpack was off at week 7.
16. Washington (7): There should not be too much penalty for the Huskies for their defeat in a regular game at Oregon, but Auburn's loss seems more and more difficult to explain every week.
17. State of Penn (8): Crazy to think that Penn State will probably finish third or fourth in the Big Ten East rankings, but these near and heartbreaking losses completely alter the ceiling of one of the country's most talented alignments.
18. Texas A & M (22): The Aggies have spent the last two weeks learning to win tight games in different ways and to win victories in their two division games against Kentucky and South Carolina. At the moment, the only defeats of this team are undefeated, in the top five teams, so look for a rise in power for the pack of Jimbo Fisher.
19. Wisconsin (15): Many teams lost to the Big House, but this defeat revealed problems that had been overlooked as the season approached, including Alex Hornibrook's limitations and the fact that this defensive Badgers respects the level of the previous couple. years.
20. Colorado (19): The buffs are currently in action against USC.
21. USF (23)We will see how closely voters watched the USF-Tulsa match on Friday night, as there was not a ton of that performance to give the Bulls, one of the 25 best teams in the country, confidence. But Charlie Strong's group is still undefeated, which deserves to be recognized by a national ranking.
22. State of Mississippi (24): The Bulldogs were on leave during week 7.
23. Cincinnati (25): The Bearcats were on leave in week 7.
24. Iowa (NR): The Hawkeyes opened the doors in Bloomington and traveled to Indiana. With only one defeat on the slate, expect Iowa to return to the standings.
25. Appalachian State (NR): The Mountaineers not only won a crucial match for the Sun Belt race, but they did it with strength, their defense being solid, their 35-9 win at Arkansas State.
Projected to give up: Miami (16), Auburn (21)
