Ohio State Reclaims No. 1 in ESPN FPI After Week 7 Upheaval

Week 7 results reshape ESPN Football Power Index

Georgia entered Week 7 as the No. 1 Bulldogs but lost to unranked Auburn, while No. 2 Notre Dame fell at No. 8 BYU. No. 5 Indiana was defeated by No. 4 Ohio State, No. 6 Alabama dropped a game at No. 14 Tennessee, and No. 7 Texas lost at home to unranked Florida.

The updated ESPN Football Power Index reflects those outcomes: Georgia, Alabama and Texas all dropped out of the top 25, and Ohio State jumped two spots to retake the No. 1 position.

SEC representation remains strong, with ten SEC teams occupying spots in the top 25. The six SEC programs that did not make the cut are Kentucky (No. 26), Mizzou (No. 27), South Carolina (No. 29), Mississippi State (No. 38), Arkansas (No. 58) and Vanderbilt (No. 66).
