Some of college football's most heated rivalries take center stage as the second half of the 2025 season gets underway in Week 8. Saturday's slate is sure to shift the national landscape, as we are now just over two weeks away from the first College Football Playoff rankings reveal of the season.

CBS Sports analysts Rick Neuheisel and Brian Jones both see an upset happening in the Week 8 SEC slate on Saturday.

Former NFL offensive lineman Blake Brockermeyer ranked the top 150 players in college football so far this season for CBS Sports this week. Brockermeyer, a former Texas Longhorns standout, ranked Tennessee Vols cornerback Colton Hood at No.

For the first time this season, five SEC teams found a spot in the projected bracket this week, including a meteoric rise from Ole Miss following its victory over LSU and Alabama's win at Georgia. The Rebels' jump to No.

Every SEC home team found victory in Week 6, but only 1 of those squads managed to lead wire-to-wire versus their ranked opponent.
