NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 8

There's still some instability in the rankings, with Michigan State passing Ohio State on its way to #1, despite both teams moving from 7-0 to 8-0 this week, since MSU's victory was over a slightly stronger team. There will be more shuffling as the teams that haven't yet taken a bye week do so in the coming weeks, and everyone gets back to roughly the same number of games played. Iowa fell from #1 to #3, and TCU dropped from #4 to #8 in their bye weeks.

Missouri lost pitifully to fall to #66, and haven't scored a touchdown in their last 3 games. Their opponent, Vanderbilt, is only 3-4 and now #86.

What if LSU had won their canceled week 1 game?
I watched most of Missouri's game on the SEC Network, which cut away to some pregame activities at the LSU game during a break. The sidelines were swamped, and I immediately thought they might become the best team ever to have 2 games canceled in the same season. But, the game was played, and they won again, bringing them to #4. If they had won, they'd jump 3 spots to #1, and Idaho, now tied at #91, would be #92 on their own.
