We’re in the closing stretch of the college football season and it seems like most upsets are behind us. The only team from last week’s top 25 to lose as the favorite were Georgia Tech, which struggled against unranked-but-tough Pitt, and Illinois, which couldn’t get anything going against Wisconsin. The only other ranked teams to lose were Missouri, which fell in a low-scoring affair against Oklahoma, and USC, which lost to No. 7 Oregon.<\/p>\n

The big tests for most of the country’s top teams will come next week.<\/p>\n

What does this all mean for the AP Top 25? Let’s break down the rankings.<\/p>\n
