College football rankings poll projection: Who will be No. 1 after wild Week 7?

The college football landscape has been reshaped after a chaotic Week 7, with Miami poised to reclaim the No. 1 spot in the US LBM Coaches Poll for the first time since 2002.

Five of the top eight teams from last week’s rankings suffered losses, including Georgia, Notre Dame, Indiana, Texas, and Alabama, creating an unprecedented shakeup. The Hurricanes’ dramatic 43-35 double-overtime victory over Florida State kept them unbeaten and propelled them into the top spot, despite lacking a standout win beyond their upset of Wake Forest.

Ohio State, though, remains a strong contender for the top ranking, having defeated Indiana in a late-season turnaround that nearly restored their No. 1 standing—though quarterback Julian Sayin’s season-ending injury complicates their title hopes.

Brigham Young’s 24-21 loss to Notre Dame may have dropped them in the rankings, but their victory over the Fighting Irish still stands as their strongest result this season. The Cougars are expected to leap into the top five for the first time since 1996.

Meanwhile, Georgia’s three-spot drop to No. 4 follows their 28-24 upset loss to Auburn, proving even the most dominant programs remain vulnerable.

Notre Dame’s heartbreaking late collapse against BYU and Indiana’s near-victory over Ohio State add to the week’s unpredictability, with both teams facing potential title implications in their upcoming matchups.
