College Football Week 7 Ratings and Rankings - Alabama stays #1

This week's ratings and rankings are now posted.  The rankings in the top-10 moved around a bit but generally were fairly stable.

Alabama and LSU stay in the top-2 spots with little change, but right behind them, while moving up only 1 spot but nearly 7.5 ratings points is Wisconsin.  Wisconsin's two meaningful opponents this year, Northern Illinois and Nebraska, both won or benefited from prior opponents doing better than expected and that push Wisconsin up.

Three undefeated teams (Michigan, Illinois, Georgia Tech) had losses leaving 10 remaining.  Look for the projections shortly to see who is projected to finish the regular season undefeated.

The top-25 is below, the full rankings on the web-site.
