The world of College Football endured another weekend of Top 25 upsets, but how did things shake out in the AP Poll Top 25?
We are hitting the final stretch of the College Football season, and things continue to get crazy. Last week we saw Ohio Sate fall from the upper echelon of the rankings and more upsets ensued this weekend.
Nobody from the Top-4 lost this weekend, but there were still shakeups to be had beyond that. Miami — a team that looked to be a break or two away from really contending for a playoff spot — lost to a terrible Notre Dame team. Boise State also got upended by Wyoming, meaning things beyond the Top-10 opened wide up.
Here’s a look at the AP Poll for Week 9 in College Football:
Note: The AP Poll will be released at 2pm ET. Here is a projection of the poll, which will be updated as soon as it goes live.
1. Alabama (8-0)
2. Michigan (8-0)
3. Clemson (8-0)
4. Washington (8-0)
The top-4 really wasn’t going to change, barring some sort of upset in the Michigan game. That didn’t happen, so things are pretty much the same for another straight week.
5. Louisville (7-1)
6. Ohio State (7-1)
7. Texas A&M (7-1)
8. Wisconsin (6-2)
9. Nebraska (7-1)
10. Florida (6-1)
Wisconsin beating Nebraska was something that helped take some minor heat off of Ohio State. The Buckeyes still have Big 10 foe on their heels in the Badgers, but bumping off the Cornhuskers was no doubt a sigh of relief.
11. Auburn (6-2)
12. Oklahoma (6-2)
13. Baylor (6-1)
14. West Virginia (6-1)
15. LSU (5-2)
Outside of the Top-15, things are still pretty open. Florida State lost to Clemson, Boise State lost and the picture remains muddled. Still, someone has to round out the Top-25, and there are some heavy hitting programs looking to remained ranked through the end of the year.
16. Utah (7-2)
17. Western Michigan (8-0)
18. North Carolina (6-2)
19. Florida State (5-3)
20. Penn State (6-2)
21. Colorado (6-2)
22. Oklahoma State (6-2)
23. Virginia Tech (6-2)
24. Boise State (7-1)
25. Washington State (6-2)
We’ll have to wait until next week to see if any other titans fall from the ranks.
