A shake-up is in store for the AP Top 25<\/a> after four teams in the top 10 lost this weekend.<\/p>\n

No. 2 Miami was the first to fall, shocked at home by unranked Louisville,<\/a> which entered Friday night\u2019s game as a 13 1\/2-point underdog. <\/p>\n

By the time Saturday night arrived, No. 5 Ole Miss had lost 43-35 at No. 9 Georgia, No. 7 Texas Tech had lost 26-22 at Arizona State and No. 10 LSU had lost 31-24 on the road at No. 17 Vanderbilt. The Hurricanes, Rebels and Red Raiders all lost for the first time this season while LSU took its second loss of the year.<\/p>\n

In all, nine ranked teams lost this weekend, four of them to unranked teams.<\/p>\n

Expect them to rise<\/p>\n

\u2014 No. 17 Vanderbilt improved to 6-1 with its victory over LSU. Diego Pavia accounted for three touchdowns<\/a>, running two in for a score and finding tight end Cole Spence for a touchdown.<\/p>\n

\u2014 No. 12 Georgia Tech kept its undefeated record alive with a 27-18 thriller<\/a> over ACC foe Duke. The Yellow Jackets are 7-0 for the first time since 1966 and could crack the top 10 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u2014 No. 3 Indiana\u2019s success carried into Week 8 as the Hoosiers beat Michigan State 38-13. Another convincing win and Miami\u2019s loss could be enough to give Indiana \u2014 already with a program-best ranking \u2014 an even higher spot in the poll.<\/p>\n

\u2014 No. 9 Georgia rallied in the fourth quarter to get past previously unbeaten Ole Miss. Gunner Stockton threw for four touchdowns<\/a>, finding tight end Lawson Luckie for three of them.<\/p>\n

\u2014 No. 6 Alabama delivered its fourth-straight win against a ranked SEC opponent, beating No. 11 Tennessee 37-20. The Crimson Tide improved to 6-1 and could see their first top five ranking of the season. That opening loss to Florida State is almost completely forgotten.<\/p>\n

Expect them to fall<\/p>\n

\u2014 No. 2 Miami\u2019s 24-21 loss to Louisville came on a a rough night for quarterback Carson Beck, who was picked off four times. Beck, a Heisman hopeful up to this point, had thrown just three interceptions in five games before the Week 8 loss.<\/p>\n

\u2014 No. 5 Ole Miss could fall out of the top five after losing to Georgia and fading late, blowing a 35-26 lead to the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

\u2014 No. 7 Texas Tech had looked like a jackhammer all season and made this one close by scoring twice in the final four minutes of the game, taking a 22-19 lead with two minutes on the clock. Arizona State<\/a> responded with an efficient 10-play, 75-yard drive, culminating in a 1-yard TD for the win.<\/p>\n

\u2014 No. 10 LSU\u2019s losses came to Ole Miss and now Vandy, and the Tigers\u2019 wins against Clemson, Florida and South Carolina aren\u2019t as impressive as they once were.<\/p>\n

\u2014 No. 25 Nebraska lost 24-6 to unranked Minnesota, which sacked quarterback Dylan Raiola nine times, a program record. The Cornhuskers entered the rankings last week after a 34-31 win over Maryland.<\/p>\n

Knocking on the door<\/p>\n

\u2014 Louisville should crack the rankings for the first time this season after upsetting No. 2 Miami on the road. The Cardinals controlled the game from start to finish, starting with an early lead and culminating with two fourth-quarter interceptions.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Tulane has been knocking on the door all season, and Jake Retzlaff threw for two touchdowns in the final two minutes for a 24-17 victory<\/a> over Army. With a 6-1 record, Tulane could earn its first ranking of the season.<\/p>\n

Wild card<\/p>\n

\u2014 A 16-13 overtime win against Kentucky wasn\u2019t what No. 21 Texas needed to work its way up the rankings. A last-minute win against an unranked team with a losing record probably won\u2019t move the needle much.<\/p>\n
