And you thought you'd seen the last of chaos this college football season.
A week after four of Sporting News' top-25 teams fell from the ranks of the unbeaten, seven more followed suit in college football's Week 4 slate of games, including three among the top 10.
Needless to say, it was a bad week for No. 7 Michigan, No. 8 Notre Dame, No. 9 Utah, No. 15 UCF, No. 16 Washington State, No. 17 Texas A&M and No. 22 Arizona State.

That of course brings up questions about what the remainder of the season will look like among the ranks of the unbeaten; but for now, we'll settle for simply ranking the top 25 heading into Week 5.
With that, SN's latest rankings:
