Chaos reigned supreme in college football’s Week 7 with upsets shaking the foundation of the sport and causing major shakeups in this week’s bowl predictions. Who is still in line for the New Year’s Six, and how will all the other bowls shake out? 

Week 7 saw major shakeups in the AP Top-25 with four more Top-10 teams falling in a chaos riddled Saturday of college football. It was nearly more chaotic with Notre Dame and UCF suffering near misses against Pittsburgh and Memphis, respectively.

It’s looking more and more like one, and maybe even two, losses will not eliminate you from the college football playoff hunt, and we could see several three-loss teams break into the New Year’s Six. This season is feeling more and more 2007-ish, with every team aside from Nick Saban’s Alabama juggernaut showing serious signs of weakness.

This weekend’s chaos makes the bowl predictions especially tough, and we are approaching the need to dig into the NCAA’s APR rankings to fill the bowl slots. That’s good news for teams like Northwestern and Vanderbilt and not so good news for teams like New Mexico and Arizona.

We’ve seen consecutive weeks in college football where a litany of top teams fell. From Oklahoma, LSU, and Auburn last week to Georgia, West Virginia, Washington, and Penn State this week, we likely haven’t seen the last of the major upsets in what is an increasingly more unpredictable college football season.

Let’s find out what this latest batch of upsets has done to the bowl predictions:
