Chaos Theory: Week 8

There are only five Power 5 teams still undefeated entering week 8 of the season.

ACC:  Florida State
SEC:  Ole Miss, Mississippi State
Big 12:  Baylor
Independent:  Notre Dame
Pac-12:  none
B1G:  none

TCU, Auburn, Georgia Tech, and Arizona all fell in week 7, thinning the herd.

With four of these teams playing each other by the end of the year, we know that we won't have more than 3 undefeated teams at the end of the season.

Notre Dame plays Florida State on Saturday (8 PM, ABC), eliminating one team right away.

Total chaos this week requires:

Tennessee over Ole Miss (7 PM, ESPN)
West Virginia over Baylor (noon, FS1)

Mississippi State has a bye.

Marshall of Conference USA is still undefeated, but is mainly just fighting for the Group of 5 spot in the New Year's bowls.
