Week 7 of the 2019 college football season came with a high billing and lived up to it. The top-25 clashes (LSU-Florida, Oklahoma-Texas, Penn State-Iowa) were all free of blowouts. Those games were guaranteed to shake up the next Associated Press Top 25, but we weren’t expecting co-No. 3 Georgia to fall at home to South Carolina.

The Bulldogs were sharing the No. 3 spot with Ohio State. The Buckeyes were off in Week 7 and we’re projecting they’ll be jumped by LSU with the Tigers’ win over No. 7 Florida.

The Gators and Dawgs drop to the one-loss territory in the rankings. We’re projecting voters will look at resumes when deciding to sort the one-loss teams (UF, UGA, Auburn, Notre Dame).

As far as other SEC teams in the Top 25, say goodbye to Texas A&M and hello to Missouri, the new first-place team in the SEC East.

Here’s how we project the new AP Top 25 after Week 7:

  1. Alabama (6-0) def. No. 24 Texas A&M, 47-28
  2. Clemson (6-0) def. Florida State, 45-14
  3. LSU (6-0) def. No. 7 Florida, 42-28
  4. Ohio State (6-0, off Week 7)
  5. Oklahoma (6-0) def. No. 11 Texas, 34-27
  6. Wisconsin (6-0) def. Michigan State, 38-0
  7. Penn State (6-0) def. No. 17 Iowa, 17-12
  8. Notre Dame (5-1) def. USC, 30-27
  9. Florida (6-1) lost to No. 5 LSU, 42-28
  10. Auburn (5-1, off Week 7)
  11. Oregon (5-1) def. Colorado, 45-3
  12. Georgia (5-1) lost to South Carolina, 20-17 2OT

  24. App State (5-0) def. Louisiana, 17-7
  25. Temple (5-1) def. No. 23 Memphis, 30-28
