Arkansas has one Top 25 opponent remaining following Week 7 US LBM Coaches Poll
The halfway point of the college football season has come and gone.
Through seven weeks, a clear hierarchy has been established when it comes to the College Football Playoff’s most likely contenders. That’s pretty clear to see in the Week 7 US LBM Coaches poll.
The top four of No. 1 Georgia, No. 2 Michigan, No. 3 Ohio State and No. 4 Florida State remained unchanged from last week. Following their big win over Oregon, Washington jumps up one spot to No. 5. Penn State, Oklahoma and North Carolina are the other three undefeated teams in the top 10, but North Carolina sits at No. 10, behind one-loss Texas and Alabama – who are tied for No. 8.
Arkansas’ only remaining opponent inside the top 25 of the US LBM Coaches Poll is Missouri, who moves up five spots to No. 20.
Ole Miss at No. 12, Tennessee at No. 15 and LSU at No. 19 were the onlyundefined other SEC teams ranked. Kentucky fell from No. 23 after losing to Missouri this week.
You can see the whole Top 25 below.
