College Football Rankings 2016: Projected AP Top 25 after Week 7

As teams across the country entered the second half of their 2016 schedules, how did Week 7 impact the hierarchy in the AP Top 25?

We had some opportunity for things to get shaken up in the AP Top 25 this week, as the schedule featured three games where both teams were ranked. One went to overtime, and one lower-ranked team prevailed to cause a reconfiguration of the standings. The College Football Playoff would certainly look different if the postseason started after this weekend than if it was determined last week.

One team, Virginia Tech, will likely drop right back out of the poll this week. Consider it the same curse that North Carolina endured after losing to the Hokies. Beyond that, there are not likely to be a lot of new teams, but the familiar faces are going to be completely rearranged. So click through to see how we project the AP Top 25 to look after Week 7 play.
