ESPN’s FPI rankings have been updated after a massively important Week 7 slate around the college football world. We saw No. 1 Texas blow out rival Oklahoma. We saw No. 3 Oregon escape with a narrow win over No. 2 Ohio State. We saw Georgia and Tennessee struggle to take down inferior opponents and much more.
The ESPN Football Power Index (FPI) had most of the top teams stay the same. Ohio State remained at No. 2 despite the loss and Ole Miss stayed at No. 5 despite falling on the road at LSU.
Here’s a look at how the FPI top 25 shook out following the Week 7 slate:
- Texas
- Ohio State
- Alabama
- Georgia
- Ole Miss
- Notre Dame
- Tennessee
- Oregon
- Penn State
- Miami
- Clemson
- Texas A&M
- USC
- LSU
- Indiana
- Louisville
- Iowa State
- SMU
- Mizzou
- Oklahoma
- Kansas State
- Boise State
- Iowa
- Tulane
- Arkansas
That’s a total of 10 SEC teams in the top 25 of the FPI rankings. South Carolina (26), Florida (27), Kentucky (32), Auburn (34), Vanderbilt (35) and Mississippi State (59) were the only SEC squads not to make the cut.
What does Week 8 hold in store for us? With Georgia and Texas playing, there’s sure to be some shuffling in the FPI this time next week. Check back next Sunday to see where the top SEC teams end up!
