College Football Rankings 2017: Projected Week 8 AP Top 25 Poll
By Zach Bigalke
Assuming that No. 23 Stanford continues to take care of business against rival Oregon in #Pac12AfterDark action, the Cardinal will move up a spot or two in this week’s AP Top 25 when it is released on Sunday. Stanford raced out of the gate, taking the opening kickoff and busting off big plays on the ground and in the air for an early lead.
Bryce Love continued his assault on the Heisman race with the first points of the game, rolling up 48 yards and a touchdown on the opening drive. From there, David Shaw‘s team looked ready to lay on a rout.
The Cardinal still have a great shot at snagging away the Pac-12 North from the Washington schools. Stanford has a bye this week before closing out the month in a Thursday-night game at Oregon State. November opens with back-to-back games against Washington and Washington State that will play a major role in deciding the division race.
