Week 7 of college football lived up to its incredibly hyped slate. Eight ranked teams went down, including two in the top 10.

Here’s how the PFF top 25 looks heading into Week 8. Please note that these are not the same as the PFF power rankings.


1. Ohio State Buckeyes (Record: 6-0, Previous: 2nd)

Week 8 Matchup: at Wisconsin Badgers

Ohio State proved it’s the top team in the country with a convincing 34-16 win over No. 17 Illinois. Julian Sayin excelled in the win with a 91.6 PFF passing grade. His 91.4 PFF grade on the year is now the best in the FBS among all quarterbacks. 

2. Miami (FL) Hurricanes (Record: 5-0, Previous: 1st)

Week 8 Matchup: vs. Louisville Cardinals

Miami was off this past weekend and is back in action this Friday night against Louisville.

3. Indiana Hoosiers (Record: 6-0, Previous: 9th)

Week 8 Matchup: vs. Michigan State Spartans

Indiana launches up to No. 3 following its 30-20 win on the road over previously third-ranked Oregon. The Hoosiers recorded an 86.1 defensive grade as the Ducks and previous Heisman favorite Dante Moore only averaged four yards per play.

4. Texas A&M Aggies (Record: 6-0, Previous: 3rd)

Week 8 Matchup: at Arkansas Razorbacks

Texas A&M is off to a 6-0 start for the first time in nine years following a 34-17 win over Florida. The Aggies’ defense came up big on money downs, as the Gators were just 1-for-11 on third and fourth down. In the last three weeks, Texas A&M’s defense has only allowed opposing teams to convert two of the previous 33 third down chances. 

5. Alabama Crimson Tide (Record: 5-1, Previous: 6th)

Week 8 Matchup: vs. No. 11 Tennessee Volunteers

Alabama pulled off its third top-20 victory in as many weeks with a 27-24 win over No. 14 Missouri. The Crimson Tide’s defense dominated in the win, surrendering just -0.343 EPA per pass. Alabama has a chance for a fourth-straight top-20 win as it takes on No. 11 Tennessee this week.

6. Texas Tech Red Raiders (Record: 6-0, Previous: 8th)

Week 8 Matchup: at Arizona State Sun Devils

Texas Tech continued to look like the best team in the Big 12 with a 42-17 win over Kansas on Saturday. The Red Raiders notched an 88.2 defensive grade in the victory and now lead the nation with a 96.3 defensive grade. Texas Tech faces another major test in Week 8 on the road against Arizona State.

7. Ole Miss Rebels (Record: 6-0, Previous: 5th)

Week 8 Matchup: at No. 9 Georgia Bulldogs

Ole Miss escaped an upset bid from Washington State by winning 24-21. Kewan Lacy carried the team to victory with an 80.5 PFF rushing grade and broke 14 tackles while running for 142 yards. The Rebels have a major test in Week 8, as Georgia is third nationally in team PFF run-defense grade.

8. Georgia Bulldogs (Record: 5-1, Previous: 10th)

Week 8 Matchup: vs. No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels

Georgia won in the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry, beating Auburn 20-10. The Tigers’ offense couldn’t get anything going in the second half, getting shut out by the Bulldogs and only totaling 40 yards. Georgia hosts ESPN’s College GameDay in Week 8 as it faces Ole Miss.

9. Oregon Ducks (Record: 5-1, Previous: 4th)

Week 8 Matchup: at Rutgers Scarlet Knights

Oregon falls five spots following its loss to Indiana. Dante Moore had his worst game as the Ducks’ starting quarterback, posting just a 45.9 PFF passing grade as Oregon’s offensive line struggled keeping him clean in the pocket. The Ducks will try to rebound in Week 8 at Rutgers.

10. LSU Tigers (Record: 5-1, Previous: 11th)

Week 8 Matchup: at No. 17 Vanderbilt Commodores

LSU beat South Carolina this past weekend by a 20-10 final score. The Tigers’ pass defense was phenomenal in the victory with -0.486 EPA per pass allowed. They’ll need to step up this week, as LSU goes on the road to Diego Pavia and Vanderbilt.

11. BYU Cougars (Record: 6-0, Previous: 17th)
12. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (Record: 6-0, Previous: 12th)
13. Tennessee Volunteers (Record: 5-1, Previous: 13th)
14. USF Bulls (Record: 5-1, Previous: 22nd)
15. Oklahoma Sooners (Record: 5-1, Previous: 7th)
16. Vanderbilt Commodores (Record: 5-1, Previous: 18th)
17. Notre Dame Fighting Irish (Record: 4-2, Previous: 20th)
18. Memphis Tigers (Record: 6-0, Previous: 21st)
19. Virginia Cavaliers (Record: 5-1, Previous: 15th)
20. Texas Longhorns (Record: 4-2, Previous: NR)
21. Illinois Fighting Illini (Record: 5-2, Previous: 16th)
22. Washington Huskies (Record: 5-1, Previous: 25th)
23. Tulane Green Wave (Record: 5-1, Previous: NR)
24. Cincinnati Bearcats (Record: 5-1, Previous: 23rd)
25. Missouri Tigers (Record: 5-1, Previous: 14th)
