College football’s Top 25 is sure to be shaken up after Ohio State’s loss to Purdue. Here is how the next set of AP Top 25 rankings will look:

Week 8 wasn’t as upset riddled as the last two weeks, but Purdue made sure this college football season remained chaotic with an emphatic 49-20 win over Ohio State on Saturday night, knocking the Buckeyes from the ranks of the undefeated and making some big changes at the top of the poll.

Washington State is likely to be the biggest positive mover this week after their impressive win over Oregon.

Cincinnati was another undefeated team to drop, falling in overtime on the road against a game Temple squad. The Bearcats are likely to tumble all the way out of the poll after the defeat, with Mississippi State and Michigan State likely to join them on the outside looking in.

Who will replace those three dropping out, and how will the rest of the AP ballot look on Sunday afternoon? Keep reading for our weekly projection of what the AP Top 25 will look like based on Saturday’s results.
