Projecting AP Top 25 after Week 7

Week 7 of the 2019 college football season came with a high billing and lived up to it. The top-25 clashes (LSU-Florida, Oklahoma-Texas, Penn State-Iowa) were all free of blowouts. Those games were guaranteed to shake up the next Associated Press Top 25, but we weren’t expecting co-No. 3 Georgia to fall at home to South Carolina.

The Bulldogs were sharing the No. 3 spot with Ohio State. The Buckeyes were off in Week 7 and we’re projecting they’ll be jumped by LSU with the Tigers’ win over No. 7 Florida.

The Gators and Dawgs drop to the one-loss territory in the rankings. We’re projecting voters will look at resumes when deciding to sort the one-loss teams (UF, UGA, Auburn, Notre Dame).

As far as other SEC teams in the Top 25, say goodbye to Texas A&M and hello to Missouri, the new first-place team in the SEC East.

Here’s how we project the new AP Top 25 after Week 7:

  1. Alabama (6-0) def. No. 24 Texas A&M, 47-28
  2. Clemson (6-0) def. Florida State, 45-14
  3. LSU (6-0) def. No. 7 Florida, 42-28
  4. Ohio State (6-0, off Week 7)
  5. Oklahoma (6-0) def. No. 11 Texas, 34-27
  6. Wisconsin (6-0) def. Michigan State, 38-0
  7. Penn State (6-0) def. No. 17 Iowa, 17-12
  8. Notre Dame (5-1) def. USC, 30-27
  9. Florida (6-1) lost to No. 5 LSU, 42-28
  10. Auburn (5-1, off Week 7)
  11. Oregon (5-1) def. Colorado, 45-3
  12. Georgia (5-1) lost to South Carolina, 20-17 2OT
  13. Boise State (5-0) leading 17-7 2Q (BSU favored by 13.5)
  14. Utah (5-1) def. Oregon State, 52-7
  15. Michigan (5-1) def. Illinois, 42-25
  16. Texas (4-2) lost to No. 6 Oklahoma, 34-27
  17. Arizona State (5-1) def. Washington State, 38-34
  18. SMU (6-0, off Week 7)
  19. Baylor (6-0) def. Texas Tech, 33-30
  20. Iowa (4-2) lost to No. 10 Penn State, 17-12
  21. Cincinnati (5-1) def. Houston, 38-23
  22. Minnesota (6-0) def. Nebraska, 34-7
  23. Missouri (5-1) def. Ole Miss, 38-27
  24. App State (5-0) def. Louisiana, 17-7
  25. Temple (5-1) def. No. 23 Memphis, 30-28

Projected to drop out of the AP Top 25: No. 19 Wake Forest (5-0) losing to Louisville, 62-59; No. 20 Virginia (4-2) lost to Miami, 17-9; No. 23 Memphis (5-1) lost to Temple, 30-28; No. 24 Texas A&M (3-3) lost to No. 1 Alabama, 47-28
