College football rankings for week 7 of the 2024 season have been released, and the Oregon Ducks have moved up to No. 3 in both the AP and Coaches polls.
Oregon moved up three spots in the AP Poll after defeating the Michigan State Spartans at home, 31-10. The Ducks, now 5-0 overall, jumped over the Georgia Bulldogs and also benefited from a couple of SEC upsets.
One of those upsets was stunning — No. 1 Alabama’s road loss against the unranked Vanderbilt Commodores. As a result of that loss, Alabama (4-1) dropped from the top spot in both polls to No. 7.
Tennessee (4-1) also fell on the road against the Arkansas Razorbacks, which dropped the Volunteers four spots in the AP Poll to No. 8 and five spots in the Coaches Poll to No. 9.
The Texas Longhorns (5-0) now own the top spot in both polls, while Ohio State (5-0) is second, and Oregon third. In the AP Poll, Penn State is fourth and Georgia is fifth, while in the Coaches Poll, Georgia is fourth and Penn State is fifth.
The biggest move up in the AP Poll this week belongs to the Texas A&M Aggies, who vaulted 10 spots to No. 15 after their 41-10 upset win over previously No. 9 Missouri.
USC, Louisville, and UNLV each dropped out of both polls following losses this weekend.
