College Football Rankings: 1 To 131 After Week 8

College Football News 2022 college football rankings after Week 8 for all 131 teams with results and who’s up next week.


After last week when Tennessee shook up the world with its win over Alabama and Michigan cemented itself as a top team with a dominant victory over Penn State, things settled in a bit.

Georgia and Michigan had the week off, Tennessee had a light scrimmage against UT Martin, and at least at the top, everything else went according to plan.

Oregon took care of home with its win over UCLA, Alabama crushed Mississippi State, and Clemson survived Syracuse – all of that caused a wee bit of shuffle at the top.

Oklahoma State beating Texas, LSU taking down Ole Miss, and TCU pushing past Kansas State were all a big deal, but South Carolina taking out Texas A&M and convincing wins by Oregon State (Colorado) and Texas Tech (West Virginia) caused a little bit of a shake up.

The big changes are coming soon as the season hits the finishing kick, and now the rankings start to skew more towards how good the teams are right now after changes and shifts – think Boise State – over early misfires.

Like last week, there’s a bit of forgiveness for teams that lost their starting quarterback – Minnesota, for example, doesn’t get punished too much for not having Tanner Morgan around.

As always, the college football rankings will change wildly on the fly.
