Things got crazy in the world of College Football this weekend, with blowouts and upsets all over the Top 25 — but what does the new AP Poll look like?

It’s November, which means the College Football Playoff picture is starting to take shape — kind of. While the first official Playoff ranking was revealed last week, we saw one of those teams lose in upset fashion this weekend. Texas A&M was a suspiring pick for the No. 4 slot in the Playoff, and they lived up to the disappointment by losing to Mississippi State. that opens up a spot for Washington, who won this weekend and have a chip on their shoulder after initial getting bumped by the Aggies in the first Playoff ranking.

That wasn’t the only major thing to have happened this weekend. The No. 10 team in the country was hung out to dry in a bad way, with Nebraska getting absolutely run out of the building against Ohio State. The Buckeyes needed a resounding win like that, against a fellow Big Ten contender, to ensure that they have a strong resume heading into the final stretch of the CFB Playoff race.

Aside from those two massive storylines, other changes are expected throughout the Top 25 in the AP Poll. This also isn’t gospel as far as what will be reflected in the Playoff ranking, but it gives us a mild idea of what we might see.

Here’s a look at the AP Poll for Week 11 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 (9-0)
2. Michigan (9-0)
3. Clemson (9-0)
4. Washington (9-0)

Washington needed something to go their way — as they have all season — and it happened. But there’s no guarantee that they’ll make it into the Playoff picture.

5. Louisville (8-1)
6. Ohio State (8-1)
7. Wisconsin (7-2)
8. Auburn (7-2)
9. Oklahoma (7-2)
10. Texas A&M (7-2)

Texas A&M falling to only No. 10 is a blessing, but that hardly helps their long-term plans. The Aggies need a lot to go right for them to make it into the CFB Playoff, and it probably won’t all happen.

11. West Virginia (7-1)
12. Penn State (7-2)
13. Utah (7-2)
14. Western Michigan (9-0)
15. North Carolina (7-2)
16. Colorado (7-2)
17. Oklahoma State (7-2)
18. Virginia Tech (7-2)
19. LSU (5-3)
20. Florida State (6-3)
21. Nebraska (7-2)
22. Florida (6-2)
23. Washington State (7-2)
24. Boise State (8-1)
25. Baylor (6-2)

We’ll have to wait until next week to see if any other titans fall from the ranks.
