Week 7 was underdog week as while there were not a ton of teams eliminated, a bunch of undefeated teams suffered losses, putting them on the brink of being knocked out. The field dwindles and conferences are starting to lose hope, particuarly the G5. Below is a breakdown of the remaining teams:
SEC: 5
Big Ten: 5
ACC: 5
AAC: 4
Big 12: 3
Pac 12: 2
Independent: 1
CUSA: 1
MWC: 1
This leaves us with just 27 teams potentially in the hunt. Being at the midpoint of the season, there’s still a lot of time for these teams to be upset.
Week 7 Eliminations: Houston, Georgia Tech, Texas Tech, Utah, Washington State, UTSA
Week 8 Elimination Games: #11 USC at #13 Notre Dame
