Michigan, Penn State and Ohio State continued to win in Week 7. Week 8 features a battle of Big 12 unbeatens between Ohio State and Penn State. In Week 7, UNC topped Miami to move to 6-0.
Who are Dan Mullen’s top 10 college football teams after Week 7?
10
Oregon Ducks
Week 7: Washington 36, Oregon 33
Dan Mullen still has Oregon ranked over other one-loss teams such as Alabama and Ole Miss. Quarterback Bo Nix and the Ducks lost a heartbreaker in Week 7 against the Washington Huskies.
9
Texas Longhorns
Week 7: bye week
Texas had a week off after losing to Oklahoma in the Red River Showdown. The Longhorns still have an impressive win over Alabama and are top contenders in the Big 12.
8
North Carolina Tar Heels
Week 7: UNC 41, Miami 31
With Louisville’s loss, UNC and Florida State are the two last remaining undefeated teams in the ACC. UNC quarterback Drake Maye threw four touchdowns, including three to star wide receiver Tez Walker. The Tar Heels have an easy upcoming schedule with games against Virginia, Georgia Tech and Campbell.
7
Penn State Nittany Lions
Week 7: Penn State 63, UMass 0
Against UMass, Penn State recorded its second shutout in three weeks. The Nittany Lions will need another elite defensive performance this week as they play in their biggest game of the year at Ohio State in Week 8.
6
Ohio State Buckeyes
Week 7: Ohio State 41, Purdue 7
Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who is probably best receiver in the nation, recorded over 100 receiving yards and scored a touchdown in the Buckeyes’ road win against Purdue. Ohio State faces Penn State in Week 8 in a must-watch game.
5
Georgia Bulldogs
Week 7: Georgia 37, Vanderbilt 20
Georgia is the No. 1 team in the US LBM Coaches Poll, but Dan Mullen does not even have the Bulldogs making his College Football Playoff.
Georgia continues to stack uneven performances like many other elite teams. The Bulldogs are the last remaining undefeated team in the SEC and look to heal during their bye week in Week 8.
4
Oklahoma Sooners
Week 6: bye week
Dan Mullen is one of the few members of the media to rank the Oklahoma Sooners over the Georgia Bulldogs. Oklahoma had a bye week after earning a massive win at Texas. Oklahoma plays UCF in Week 8.
3
Washington Huskies
Week 7: Washington 36, Oregon 33
Washington quarterback Michael Penix continues to shine. The Huskies won a massive home game against Oregon in Week 7. Against Oregon, Penix threw for over 300 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. Washington is the final undefeated team in the Pac-12 after USC’s loss to Notre Dame.
2
Florida State Seminoles
Week 7: Florida State 41, Syracuse 3
Standout Florida State wide receiver Keon Coleman caught nine passes for 140 yards and a touchdown in the Seminoles’ home win over Syracuse. Florida State hosts Duke in a battle for ACC supremacy in Week 8.
1
Michigan Wolverines
Week 7: Michigan 52, Indiana 7
Michigan is Dan Mullen’s No. 1 team in the country. The Wolverines’ closest game of the season remains a 24-point win over Rutgers. Michigan has a more challenging schedule coming up. The Wolverines’ defense has not allowed any team to score more than 10 points.
