College Football Week 7 Wrap-Up

-
There's always at least one weekend in October where a bunch of top 10 teams fall. This year it happened in week 7 as Georgia, West Virginia, Penn State and Washington all lost. The chaos has opened up a whole host of new playoff scenarios, and opened things up for a lot of fringe playoff contenders.

Top 25


Win out probabilities are in parenthesis. This is a probability of winning out until the conference championship game, not including the conference championship game. In lieu of comments on the top 25 this week, I'm posting some mid-season division/conference/playoff projections later today.

1. Alabama (68.4%)
2. Clemson (40.7%)
3. Ohio State (31.8%)
4. Oklahoma (34.8%)
5. Georgia (35.5%)

6. Penn State (17.5%)
7. LSU (7.4%)
8. Michigan (8.7%)
9. Notre Dame (26.7%)
10. Washington (44.4%)

11. UCF (53.9%)
12. Texas (14.9%)
13. Wisconsin (7.4%)
14. Mississippi State (0.8%)
15. Utah (11.6%)

16. Iowa (5.8%)
17. Iowa State (12.4%)
18. NC State (3.9%)
19. Purdue (2.1%)
20. Appalachian State (51.8%)

21. Texas A&M (4.3%)
22. Boston College (2.4%)
23. Fresno State (31.0%)
24. Duke (2.3%)
25. Michigan State (3.8%)

Picks Recap

2018 Season: 25-25-1 -1.77 units

Last week was OK, going 2-4-1. I won on Purdue, who smacked Illinois, and Eastern Michigan who finally won a close game against Toledo. I lost on UNLV who choked away the cover late, Wisconsin who got rolled by Michigan, New Mexico who lost a thriller to Colorado State, and Virginia Tech who barely beat UNC. I pushed on Northwestern- happy I got them at -3 before it went up to -3.5.

Well, in the unlikely event that there is an NCAA tournament, here's my projection for it. Stanford really hurt themselves with their loss to Cal, their SOR is almost unprecedentedly bad for an at-large team. Xavier made things really interesting with a loss to DePaul, they're my last team in. Also out west, Colorado continued a massive slide with a loss to Washington State. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  Dayton 2: San Diego State,  Villanova,  Creighton,  Florida State 3:  Michigan State , Maryland, Duke, Seton Hall 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: Wisconsin, Butler, BYU, Auburn 6: West Virginia, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois 7: Penn State, Virginia, St. Mary's,   Houston 8: Oklahoma, Arizona, Rutgers, USC 9: Marquette, Colorado, LSU, Providence 10: Florida, Indiana,  East Tennessee State , Texas Tech 11: Wichita State,  Utah State , Arizona State, (Richmond/Cincinnati) 12: (Texas/Xavier),  Stephen F.

The biggest game of the day on Friday was Northern Iowa's loss to Drake in the Arch Madness quarterfinals. I have kept the Panthers as the last team in the field for now, but it's going to be a long wait for them until Selection Sunday. Most of their resume comparisons haven't made the tournament, although their NET remains solid. A massive day awaits today, with nearly every bubble team in action. Updates will be daily from now until Selection Sunday. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  San Diego State 2:  Dayton ,  Florida State, Maryland, Seton Hall 3: Villanova, Creighton, Duke, Michigan State 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: BYU, Butler, Penn State, Iowa 6: Wisconsin, Michigan, Auburn, Colorado 7: West Virginia, Houston, Illinois, Virginia 8: St. Mary's, Arizona, Marquette, Oklahoma 9: Texas Tech, Rutgers, USC, Florida 10: Xavier, LSU,  East Tennessee State , Providence 11: Indiana, Wichita State, Texas, (Arizona State/Richmond) 12: (P

East Tennessee State punched their bid last night, I think the Buccaneers could've had a good shot at making the field as an at-large, but now they won't have to wait. I also moved some teams around on the 13 through 16 lines after taking a look at those resumes more in depth, Bradley moves up to a 14 seed in place of Hofstra. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  Dayton 2: San Diego State,  Villanova,  Creighton,  Florida State 3:  Michigan State , Maryland, Duke, Seton Hall 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: Wisconsin, Butler, BYU, Auburn 6: West Virginia, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois 7: Penn State, St. Mary's, Virginia,  Houston 8: Colorado, Oklahoma, Arizona, Rutgers 9: USC, Marquette, LSU, Providence 10: Florida,  East Tennessee State , Indiana, Texas Tech 11: Wichita State,  Utah State , Arizona State, (Xavier/Richmond) 12: (Stanford/Texas),  Stephen F.
