College Football Rankings Week 7: The Florida Gators retained their top spot in the AP Top 25 this week with a critical conference road win over LSU. Urban Meyer's squad, which opened the season at No. 1, looks to be powering its way to an SEC Championship meeting with SEC West rival Alabama. The Crimson Tide, meanwhile, leapfrogged Texas this week to take the No. 2 spot in the polls. Alabama's move was just one of many as the rankings experienced a major shakeup over the weekend.

The Longhorns, which overcame Colorado 38-14 in a sloppy affair in Austin, were one of four teams (three of which 
happened to be Big 12 schools) that dropped in the rankings without a loss. Texas fell one spot to No. 3 while their conference brethren Kansas fell from No. 16 to No. 17 after a narrow 41-36 home win over unranked Iowa State. Oklahoma also dropped a spot, going from No. 19 to No. 20, as a result of its lackluster showing against a Robert Griffin-less Baylor squad. The fourth team to fall without falling was the TCU Horned Frogs. Texas Christian went from No. 10 to No. 12 after beating Air Force 20-17 on the road.
In addition to Alabama, the following teams moved up in the polls this week: Virginia Tech (5 to 4), Boise State (6 to 5), USC (7 to 6), Ohio State (9 to 7), Miami (11 to 9), Iowa (12 to 11), Nebraska (21 to 15), Oklahoma State (17 to 16), Georgia Tech (22 to 19), South Florida (23 to 21), South Carolina (25 to 22).
Three teams found their way out of the Top 25 this week, those being Auburn, Mississippi, and Missouri. Auburn had been ranked 17th prior to their 23-44 beating in Fayetteville while the Rebels had been ranked 20th before being disposed of by Alabama by a score of 22-3 in Oxford. The Tigers of Missouri fell to 4-1 and lost their 24th ranking after losing at home 27-12 to Nebraska on Thursday night.
Replacing those teams in the rankings and returning to the Top 25 were the Houston Cougars, Utah Utes, and Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
