College Football Rankings: 1 To 131 After Week 7
College Football News 2022 college football rankings after Week 7 for all 131 teams with results and who’s up next week.
It was supposed to be an insane Week 7, and it was even crazier than expected.
Tennessee’s win over Alabama was an all-time classic, Utah rallied in a thriller to beat USC, and Michigan thumped Penn State – but that’s all easy to rank at this point.
Stanford beating Notre Dame – that’s more difficult.
Now we enter the new phase of the rankings – taking into account the entire body of work over the first half of the season.
For example, Stanford might just be 2-4, but those losses came to USC, Washington Oregon, and Oregon State – all four of those teams are ranked higher than the Cardinal, who’s now ranked higher than the Irish.
That was the big curveball this week, and admittedly the MAC and Mountain West are a mess to rank, but we press on.
One more thing: injured quarterbacks. Teams don’t get dinged as much for losses because they were missing their main man, and they get credit once he’s back – Kentucky being one of the prime examples.
As always, these will change wildly each week as needed.
