Seven Top 25 teams were sidelined this weekend due to weather or by design. How might the AP rankings look on Sunday after the rest of Week 6?

Hurricane Matthew led to the postponement or rescheduling of several games along the southeastern United States this week, and it had some interesting consequences on games throughout the region. It also means that the AP Top 25 won’t be coming out this week until Monday after several contests were pushed back to Sunday.

But that doesn’t mean that you should have to wait to see where your favorite team might end up in this week’s AP poll. A couple of Pac-12 teams are likely going to drop out after sustaining losses. One week after making their first appearance in over a decade, Colorado will likely fall right back out of the Top 25 after a 21-17 loss at USC. And with a chance to take charge in the Pac-12 South, Utah looked listless against Arizona and also fell out of the poll.

That leaves room for a few new teams. Will yours be one of them? Click through to see our projections for this week’s AP Top 25.

UPDATE: Sorry folks. I royally blew it on Utah. The Utes stormed back in the second half to run away with the game against Arizona, and they will almost certainly remain in the Top 25 tomorrow. Stanford, on the other hand, might not be so lucky after that performance at home against Washington State.  Thankfully the internet gives us a chance to admit our errors and correct them in real time. We have revised the projections this morning to better reflect the results of last night’s finishes.
