Projecting the new AP Top 25 college football rankings after Week 8 of the 2022 season

The college football rankings will have a new look when they are updated on Sunday after more than a handful of ranked teams took losses during Week 8. When all the scores and results are settled, we should expect some movement in the top 10 and a return to the AP Top 25 for a surging LSU team that beat previously
beaten Ole Miss handily in the SEC on CBS Game of the Week.

The Tigers' 45-20 win in the Magnolia Bowl was the program's sixth victory in the last seven meetings in this historic rivalry; it also extended their winning streak in Death Valley to seven games. Just like in 2014, Ole Miss showed up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, undefeated with hopes of contending for the SEC West only to leave with a loss. The Rebels will take a step back in the standings and fall in the new AP Top 25 as LSU -- now 6-2 overall and sitting first place in the SEC West -- will return to the national rankings for the first tie since its one-week showing earlier this month.

Ole Miss wasn't the only team that started the day undefeated but will no longer have the rankings advantage of that zero in the loss column. Of the nine teams that entered Week 8 unbeaten, six of them of played an FBS opponent (Georgia and Michigan were off, Tennessee played UT-Martin). Three of the remaining six lost. UCLA took its first defeat of the season at Oregon, Ole Miss fell at LSU, and Clemson took down Syracuse. Of course, the matchup between the Tigers and Orange guaranteed that one unbeaten team would lose, but it was an example of how tough it is to remain
undefeated with ugly showings sure to occur along the way.

Here's how the new AP Top 25 will look on Sunday:
