Duas das três equipes invictas do Big 12 perderam no mesmo sábado, e a corrida da conferência mudou de direção, rumo a Utah.
BYU e Texas Tech foram derrotados, o que complicou uma disputa apertada por vagas entre convidados. Com o San Juan Bowl acrescentado ao calendário, 84 times agora são necessários para preencher todas as vagas de pós-temporada, incluindo as do CFP, e o comitê de seleção divulga seu primeiro ranking em 3 de novembro.
A semana 8 reorganizou vários outros quadros. James Madison perdeu pela primeira vez, derrotado na prorrogação em Appalachian State.
“Tínhamos o embalo, tínhamos voltado e empatado”, disse o técnico do Dukes, Billy Napier, sobre a decisão de chutar o ponto extra em vez de buscar a conversão de dois pontos, escolha que levou o jogo à prorrogação.
Duke venceu Virginia por 19 a 16 quando Nate Sheppard encontrou Brody Keefe para 28 jardas em uma jogada de dupla troca, com 1:14 restantes, e uma vitória sobre Boston College na próxima rodada deixaria os Blue Devils aptos a disputar um bowl. Kentucky reverteu uma desvantagem de 10 pontos contra Vanderbilt e chegou a 7-1, a melhor campanha da SEC.
No topo, Miami segue como projetada primeira cabeça de chave, com Darian Mensah e Malachi Toney, e o LSU vem na sequência. O Texas respondeu aos críticos ao dominar Ole Miss e o quarterback Trinidad Chambliss. Ohio State espera terminar sem Julian Sayin, deixando o calouro Luke Fahey como titular, um golpe nas suas esperanças de título. Os sete pontos do USC em Wisconsin foram os menores da carreira de Lincoln Riley, e o UCLA está 7-0 sob Bob Chesney. NC State demitiu Dave Doeren.
7 de novembro agora parece a data decisiva da SEC: Alabama visita o LSU, com o derrotado sendo espremido na fila das vagas entre convidados.
