Rivalry week saw several top-ranked teams lose and as a result, they plummeted down the rankings.
Rivalry week brought some huge upsets and with it, some teams plummeted in the latest AP Top 25 for Week 14.
The biggest upset of the day came in College Station when Texas A&M blew out then-No. 6 LSU 38–25. The Tigers were knocked out of the College Football Playoff conversation as a result and fell to No. 11.
Meanwhile, in the Pac-12, Oregon’s late-game collapse against Oregon State knocked them out of their conference’s championship next week. The Ducks fall to No. 15 and the Beavers get bragging rights and the No. 16 spot for the win.
