Every AP Top 25 team was in action this week. How will the results of Week 11 action impact the poll when it is released on Sunday?

Upsets galore abounded throughout the AP Top 25, as one College Football Playoff hopeful after another crumbled under the pressure against lesser opponents over Week 11. ACC Coastal hopefuls Virginia Tech and North Carolina both suffered defeats. We saw two top-ten teams toppled from their perches during the afternoon games, as Clemson fell to Pittsburgh and Auburn collapsed at Georgia.

Then things got even crazier, as both Michigan and Washington also found themselves on the wrong side of scorelines against Iowa and USC respectively. As the dust cleared, three of the top four teams had suffered their first losses of the year, and five of the top ten from last week’s AP Top 25 had been toppled. Now just Alabama and Western Michigan remain undefeated midway through November.

The result is destined to be a major shakeup in the Top 25 when it comes out on Sunday, and is also certain to lead to a new top four when the CFP rankings are released Tuesday night. How far will the vanquished teams fall, who is destined to climb, and which teams will fall out of the rankings altogether? Click through to see our projections for the AP Top 25 ahead of tomorrow’s reveal.
