Week 7 - 2011 College Football Rankings

While Alabama is ranked #1 in our analysis for the fourth straight week, LSU closed the gap a bit with their convincing 38-7 victory over Tennessee. Wisconsin also leapfrogged to #3 with its 59-7 victory of Indiana combined with Michigan's 28-14 loss to Michigan State. The Badgers passed Boise State despite the Broncos' 63-13 victory over Colorado State, indicative that Wisconsin has had the tougher schedule to this point as both teams are still undefeated. Boise State ended up holding steady at #4.

The top eight teams in the rankings are all still undefeated seven weeks into the season. Michigan, Georgia Tech and Illinois each lost their first games of the season over the weekend, leaving ten undefeated teams among the FBS ranks. Houston and Boise State are the only remaining undefeated teams that do not belong to a BCS conference.
