AmStat College Football Top 25: Week 12

College football  has seen some wild weekends in recent history, but past instances of mayhem will be hard pressed to equal this weekend's turn of events and its subsequent impact on the rest of the season. Top ten programs fell victim to upsets all over the country, and the BCS has now been thrown into total disarray. Teams like Arkansas and Virginia Tech now have legitimate chances to advance to the BCS title game, and programs like Michigan, Kansas State and Boise State are back in the conversation for BCS at-large bids. Many people think we have chaos now, but what happens if the dominoes continue to fall? Who plays for the title if Arkansas beats LSU, Auburn beats Alabama, Georgia wins the SEC Championship game, Oklahoma beats Oklahoma State, Stanford loses the Pac-12 Championship game, and Virginia beats Virginia Tech? Well then Boise State and Houston would play for the BCS title. Now that's chaos. For now, this is how AmStat is ranking the top 25 teams in college football.
