Week 1 Risers and Fallers | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7
Welcome to college football’s new normal, where in Week 8, three teams in the top 10 lost, two ranked SEC teams needed overtime to survive on the road and UAB, fresh off firing coach Trent Dilfer, knocked off previously unbeaten Memphis as three-score underdogs.
The 2025 season has turned into college football’s version of anarchy, and it’s beautiful. Expect the unexpected. Better yet, embrace it.
Week 8 also delivered several vital performances for prospects in the 2026 NFL draft. After an uninspiring Week 7, several top quarterbacks delivered résumé-padding efforts. The top of the wide receiver class starred, and so did the draft’s RB1 and TE1 in Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love and Oregon’s Kenyon Sadiq, respectively.
Big boards are far from set, but the picture at the top is growing clearer. After that? It’s largely in flux.
Here are ’s draft risers and fallers from a hectic Week 8.
RISERS Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama
Though he didn’t catch a screen pass or take a wildcat snap, Proctor stacked another quality performance in Alabama’s 37–20 win over Tennessee. Proctor allowed only one quarterback hurry against the Volunteers’ strong front, according to , and he’s given up just four total pressures over his past four outings. The surge has rescued Proctor’s draft stock, as the 6' 7", 366-pounder trudged through a difficult start to the season in which he allowed one sack and nine pressures in the first three weeks. Big, powerful and willing to enforce punishment, Proctor has the tools to be a first-round pick, and he’s starting to play at such a level consistently.
