Top 25 mayhem in the polls, computers and BCS awaits us on Sunday. Let's take our best guess at what the college football rankings will look like after a shakeup Saturday.
After Kansas State got rocked by Baylor and Oregon fell in overtime to Stanford, Sunday's college football Top 25 is getting a major rearrangement. For the first time in five years, Nos. 1 and 2 lost on the same day, and now, barring total mayhem, the national championship field has now narrowed to three teams: Notre Dame, Alabama and Georgia.
The latter two will play each other in the SEC Championship Game, and for the seventh straight year, we should have a SEC team in the title game. They never, ever go away. Meanwhile, Notre Dame still has to get past USC -- a loss to the Trojans could mean another shot for Florida or Oregon. I don't see any way Kansas State comes back from this, especially without the chance to win a conference title game.
These aren't necessarily my rankings, just my best projection right now of what we could be looking at on Sunday. I don't think K-State falls all that far. Even though their loss was a bad one, they've likely built up enough goodwill in the polls to not fall into the two-loss mix. Oregon, meanwhile, has a very solid loss.
- Notre Dame, 11-0
- Alabama, 10-1
- Georgia, 10-1
- Florida, 10-1
- Oregon, 10-1
- Kansas State, 10-1
- LSU, 9-2
- Texas A&M, 9-2
- Stanford, 9-2
- Florida State, 10-1
- Clemson, 10-1
- South Carolina, 9-2
- Oklahoma, 8-2
- Nebraska, 9-2
- Texas, 8-2
