College football polls then vs. now: How entire NCAA Top 25 changed rankings in massive shakeup

College football’s Week 7 upheaval sent shockwaves through the AP Top 25 rankings, with every single spot occupied by a different team than the previous poll—a first in recent memory. The preseason’s elite, including Oregon (No.

2), Texas (No. 5), Texas A&M (No.

8), and Oklahoma (No. 10), have all plummeted, with three of those four now unranked after early-season collapses.

Georgia’s upset loss to Auburn and Texas’ second straight defeat further destabilized the playoff picture, while BYU’s historic rise to No. 2—its highest ranking since 1984—marked the most dramatic climb.

Miami, meanwhile, claimed the No. 1 spot for the first time since 2002, capitalizing on the chaos as Ohio State, Notre Dame, and others scrambled to regroup.

UCLA and Utah also entered the top 10, joining just four undefeated Power 4 teams (Miami, BYU, Texas Tech, and Utah) in a race where two-loss teams like Alabama and Texas now face long odds for a playoff berth.
