In Atlanta, fans witnessed a rollercoaster weekend in college football as Week 6 wrapped up with plenty of surprises that shook up the rankings. This week lacked the mega matchups that typically grab headlines, but it surely delivered excitement and drama that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Saturday saw five teams ranked in the top 12 suffer surprising defeats. This notable trend hasn’t happened since 2021, and even then, the losses were primarily between top-tier teams. This time, the chaos was sparked by unranked teams pulling off unexpected wins over their highly-ranked counterparts.
Among the standout moments, Vanderbilt managed to topple the reigning No. 1 team, Alabama, just one week after Alabama surged to the top by defeating Georgia. The unforgettable images of Vanderbilt’s fans celebrating as they carried goalposts down the streets of Nashville will not be forgotten anytime soon. This stunning win showcased a dominant performance where Vanderbilt pushed back against Alabama’s defense and kept their lead throughout the game.
Not to be overlooked, No. 4 Tennessee fell in a tight match against unranked Arkansas, while No. 10 Michigan lost to unranked Washington, and No. 11 USC was upset by unranked Minnesota. Even No. 9 Missouri faced a tough day, getting overwhelmed by No. 25 Texas A&M.
As the dust settles, the AP Top 25 rankings are set to see major changes. Here’s a glimpse of how experts project the new rankings after all the drama from Saturday:
