NCAA Football Rankings 2014: Full List of Week 7 College Standings and Polls

Sean ODonnellOct 7, 2014

Let's just get this out of the way: Week 6 of the 2014 college football season was ridiculous.

Perhaps the writing was on the wall early. After all, Arizona kicked the week off by upsetting Oregon on Thursday. What followed after was sheer madness, as four more Top 10 teams—Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and UCLA—fell to unranked—and seemingly underrated—opponents.

Those losses shook up the standings far more than any previous week, and looking forward to Week 7, a bevy of pivotal matchups are on the slate once again. Before another week commences, let's take a look at the updated polls and analyze a few recent big movers.

Biggest Movers

TCU

Not many people realized TCU was one of the most talented teams in the nation until the Horned Frogs upset Oklahoma by a score of 37-33 in Week 6. Beforehand, the team won all three of its contests in decisive fashion, but it took a win over a ranked team to earn recognition.

Trevone Boykin has emerged as one of college football's most dangerous dual-threat quarterbacks. Against Oklahoma, he completed 20 of his 38 passing attempts for 318 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He also rushed 22 times for 77 yards. To put things into perspective, Boykin amassed 395 of the team's 469 total yards.

The Horned Frogs don't simply rely on offense to accumulate victories, either. After allowing just 21 points over their first three contests, they gave up 33 to the Sooners; however, the team's playmakers showed up in a big way.

Solid in the trenches, TCU limited the dangerous Samaje Perine to just 3.5 yards per carry. Quarterback Trevor Knight only completed 14 of his 35 attempts, and he was picked off by Chris Hackett and Paul Dawson—who returned it for a touchdown.

Boykin and Dawson's performances earned them Big 12 Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week honors, respectively, via TCU Football's Twitter account:

This team is rolling right now; however, it will face another difficult contest in Week 7 against a prolific Baylor offense.

Arizona

Why not give some kudos to the team that began the onslaught against Top 10 squads in Week 6?

The Wildcats entered their game against Oregon after surviving several close contests against unranked opponents. Although, things really clicked against the Ducks, as Arizona upset their Pac-12 foes for the second consecutive season.

On the offensive side of the ball, freshman quarterback Anu Solomon managed the game well enough, completing 20 of his 31 passes for 287 yards, one touchdown and one interception. His play allowed the run-heavy offense to control the clock and keep the dangerous Marcus Mariota off the field. A dangerous backfield combination of Terris Jones-Grigsby and Nick Wilson produced 207 yards and three touchdowns.

Head coach Rich Rodriguez praised his quarterback after the game, via Matt Moreno of Rivals.com:

Arizona was strong in the trenches on the defensive side of the ball as well. A speedy, versatile Oregon running game was limited to just 3.5 yards per carry and zero touchdowns. In the end, the Wildcats offense gained 49 more yards than the high-octane Ducks unit.

While Arizona is currently undefeated, it must continue to display the same kind of moxie we saw against the Ducks. Difficult contests against USC, Washington State and UCLA are next on the slate, and it's time for the Wildcats to prove they are worthy of a Top 10 ranking.

Mississippi State

If there were any questions regarding if Mississippi State was for real, they were answered in Week 6. The Bulldogs put on arguably the most impressive display of the week, taking down Texas A&M in decisive fashion by a score of 48-31. The victory marked the team's second against a ranked team in as many weeks.

The final score of the Bulldogs' contest against the Aggies wasn't even as close as it looked. In fact, early in the fourth quarter, Mississippi State owned an impressive 31-point lead over the former No. 6 team in the nation.

Quarterback Dak Prescott was outstanding against Texas A&M. In one of the week's most efficient performances, he completed 20 of his 26 attempts for 268 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions. Prescott also showed off his ability to make plays with his legs, rushing 23 times for 77 yards and three scores.

Could Prescott be on the Heisman path? ESPN The Magazine tweeted some interesting comparisons:

Running back Josh Robinson is a perfect complement to the quarterback, as the bruising ball-carrier has been a menace to every defense he's faced of late. He torched the Aggies for 107 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries, averaging 6.3 yards per rush.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Bulldogs tormented breakout quarterback Kenny Hill. While the signal-caller did throw for 365 yards and four touchdowns, he was only able to complete 37 of his 62 passing attempts and was intercepted three times—all by Richie Brown.

This team has all of the necessary playmakers on both sides of the ball to make a big run at the College Football Playoff. Although, a formidable opponent in No. 2 Auburn looms large in Week 7, creating a must-see matchup of SEC juggernauts.
