Week 7 of the 2026 college football season is in the books, and it’s time to evaluate all of those results and rank all 138 teams in the nation. Ohio State moved to No. 1 following its win at Indiana, with Miami and BYU also on the rise following victories on Saturday. Last week’s No. 1 (Georgia) slips to No. 4, with Notre Dame falling to No. 5 after its defeat at BYU.

Tennessee climbed to No. 10 after a massive home win over Alabama, while fellow SEC member Florida returns to the top 25 at No. 18 after its victory at Texas. Kentucky continued its rapid improvement under first-year coach Will Stein by beating Oklahoma in Norman on Saturday night, and the Wildcats jumped to No. 13 in this week’s rankings.

Texas (No. 19), Penn State (No. 60) and Vanderbilt (No. 68) are among the teams on the decline in the rankings following Week 7 losses.

Boise State, James Madison, Oregon State, Western Michigan, New Mexico, UTSA, North Texas and Memphis headline the highest-ranked Group of 6 teams after Week 7.
