College Football Week 8 Ratings and Rankings - Alabama stays #1

This week's ratings and rankings are now posted.  And this week there are some big changes with Wisconsin and Oklahoma losing.

But at the very top, things are stable as Alabama and LSU stay in the top-2 spots in a virtual tie with little change, but there is a new #3, albeit over 5 points back, in Oklahoma State.  And with Oregon's only loss being to to LSU, they move ahead of Boise State as well as taking advantage of Wisconsin's and Oklahoma's losses to #4.  Boise State's struggles with Air Force hurt them a bit and Stanford showed they can easily handle a better team too and moved up to #6.

There are still 8 undefeated teams, but at least two will lose with Alabama/LSU and Oklahoma State/Kansas State playing in 2 weeks.  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.
