2013 NCAA College Football Polls and Rankings for Week 8 - ESPN

A record 8 SEC Teams made the AP Poll this week.

 

[TrueOrange]

The Southeastern Conference set a record for most schools in The Associated Press college football poll with eight ranked teams.

The Top 25 was shaken Sunday after seven ranked teams lost, including five to teams that were unranked or lower ranked. Stanford dropped eight spots and Michigan fell from the poll.


The top four was unchanged, with No. 1 Alabama receiving 55 of 60 first-place votes. No. 2 is Oregon, followed by Clemson and Ohio State. Florida State moved up to No. 5 to set up a top-five matchup at Clemson next week.

Stanford lost 27-20 at Utah and is now No. 13, becoming the first top-10 team this season to lose to an unranked team. Michigan drops out after losing 43-40 in four overtimes at Penn State.

No. 24 Auburn moved into the rankings for the first time this season to join No. 6 LSU, No. 7 Texas A&M, No. 11 South Carolina, No. 14 Missouri, No. 15 Georgia and No. 22 Florida. Missouri jumped 11 spots after a 41-26 victory at Georgia (4-2).

The record for most teams from one conference in a regular-season poll had been seven, done many times, including this season by the SEC. The ACC and Big Ten have also reached seven ranked teams in season.

The SEC also had eight teams ranked in the 2011 preseason poll.

I hope Mizzou and Auburn keep winning. More chances for a win over a ranked team.

Without their QB, I don't think Missouri beats UF or USCe.


There's a chance they might still be ranked after those 2 losses, but it seems they'd more than likely drop out by the TN game.

I think Oregon gets jumped by the FSU/Clemson winner next week.

Doubt it.

Outside of the LSU/Bama game.....barring an epic upset, Oregon and Bammer on headed on a collision course.

Doubt it.

This. If you told me today that Oregon was #1 I wouldn't think twice.

Stanford will have something to prove after the loss to Utah.

While FSU may beat Clemson, they could go on to lose vs Florida at the end of the season. Same scenario for Clemson winning that game but losing against USCe.

Bama may lose to LSU and Michigan may sneak up on Ohio State.

We may be in for a really nasty 1-loss Title game debate.

Mizzou won't stay in the top 25 very long. I see 5 losses on their schedule. With Franklin out, hell UK may beat them. Ok, just kidding. Mizzou did their job this year, they beat Vandy. They happened to beat a severely depleted GA team. That's about it.

Yeah they'll still beat UK

Strength of Schedule thru week 7:

Jeff Sagarin's data.

SEC
1. Georgia
2. Mississippi
3. Kentucky
12. LSU
16. Florida
20. USC
27. Arkansas
30. UT
31. TAM
33. MSU
36. Alabama
43. Missouri
54. Auburn
89. Vanderbilt

Vanderbilt should be moving up over the next few weeks, I would expect UT to move into the top 15 easy over the next 4 weeks. Bama will probably be losing mucho spots over the remainder of the season, my guess last in SOS by the end of the year in SEC or 2nd to last. UGA schedule gets a little easier, I would expect them to move off of the top spot in 4 weeks. Ole Miss might have the top SoS after this week but will drop basically the rest of the year.
