Football Poll Watching Week 7: Sooners Soar After Red River Rivalry Win

In addition to Oklahoma, Louisville had a big jump this week, while Notre Dame and Texas dropped significantly in both polls.

In the Week 7 football polls, Georgia and Michigan remain in the top two spots in both the AP Top 25 and the Coaches Poll. Both polls agree on the top eight teams but in slightly different orders. 

The AP Top 25 has those eight as Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Florida State, Oklahoma, Penn State, Washington, and Oregon. In the Coaches Poll, it's Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Florida State, Penn State, Washington, Oklahoma, and Oregon. All eight of those teams are still undefeated.

In Week 6, the two biggest wins were Oklahoma over Texas in the Red River Rivalry game and Louisville defeating Notre Dame. The Sooners and the Cardinals were rewarded in this week's polls with big jumps up, while the Longhorns and Fighting Irish had the biggest drops.

Besides Oklahoma (5/7) and Texas (9/11), Kansas (23/24) is back among the ranked teams, giving the Big 12 three teams in the top 25. West Virginia is receiving votes in both polls. 

Here are the highlights from both the AP Top 25 poll and the AFCA Coaches Poll:
