AP Top 25 Poll Prediction Week 13: How Huge Will the Shakeup Be?

NCAAF College Football News, Photos, Stats, Scores, Schedule & Videos...

All forgiveness if your team lost, but how much fun have these college football Saturdays been?

All the drama, all the twists and turns, and all the curveballs …

Six teams from last week’s AP Top 25 lost. Alabama, Texas, Louisville, Cincinnati, Pitt, and South Florida all lost, and all will drop big. That opens the door for a whole bunch of new teams to come in, and the potential is there for a slew of big moves in the top 15.

Will the AP voters ding Georgia Tech for struggling so much against a bad Boston College? Will the Texas blowout against Georgia mean a massive fall, or will there be respect for losing on the road against a top five team?

Here’s our call for what the latest AP Top 25 will be when it’s released on Sunday.
