Fallica's Week 7 College Football Rankings After Weekend Shakeup
Chris Fallica released his Week 7 college football top 10, with Missouri at No. 10, Ole Miss at No. 9, Utah at No. 8 and Texas at No. 7. He noted that Texas fell after a surprising loss, while Utah's offense has been dominant. The rankings also include DraftKings odds for College Football Playoff and national title chances.
Fallica's Week 7 list places Missouri tenth, Ole Miss ninth, Utah eighth and Texas seventh. Missouri's recent wins over Florida and Texas A&M lifted it into the rankings, while Ole Miss has one loss in an unfavorable scheduling situation. Utah has dominated opponents, with its offense drawing attention before a tougher stretch.
Texas slipped from No. 1 after an unexpected defeat. Although the Longhorns beat Ohio State and Tennessee, Fallica sees flaws in their running game, quarterback play and offensive line. He ranks Ohio State ahead despite the head-to-head result, citing the Buckeyes' control for most of that game. DraftKings CFP and title odds accompany the rankings.
Fallica's rankings and the attached DraftKings odds may intensify fan debate and media coverage around the College Football Playoff race. Players and coaches at ranked programs could face added scrutiny, while supporters, students, alumni and bettors may adjust expectations. Because early rankings can shape narratives, they may influence how teams are discussed before later results, though on-field outcomes ultimately decide the season.
