As mentioned, the top-ranked Crimson Tide remain in the driverโs seat after blanking Ole Miss. The Rebels were dropped down to No. 24 after a somewhat disappointing showing against the back-to-back national champions.ย ย
The Ducks are holding on to No. 2 with another 50-plus-point explosion, this time against Cal. Oregon is looking tougher and tougher to stop, with Colorado the next team to get a chance in Week 6.
Clemson is still No. 3, as the Tigers obliterated Wake Forest in an ACC matchup that was never close. No. 4 Ohio State finally proved its mettle against Wisconsin, as the Buckeyes won a close battle with a ranked foeโalthough the Badgers dropped from the poll after the loss.
Stanford is rounding out the Top Five after eviscerating Washington State in a lopsided matchup.
The rankings get a bit interesting after that, as voters rewarded the No. 6 Georgia Bulldogs for their gutsy performance against No. 10ย LSU. Quarterbacks Aaron Murray and Zach Mettenberger battled throughout Saturday afternoon, with Murray getting the last word on a touchdown strike with just under two minutes left to play.
The back-and-forth affair showcased the strength of the SEC and didnโt cost the Tigers much, as voters respected their loss and only dropped them fourย spots.
Rounding out the Top 10 isย bye-week teamย No. 7ย Louisville,ย No. 8ย Florida State after a shaky win over doormat Boston Collegeย and No. 9 Texas A&M, which took care of business in Arkansas.
Oklahoma State took the biggest hit this week, dropping from No. 11 down to No. 21ย after being upset by unranked West Virginia. The Cowboys simply couldnโt get it done and committed a number of critical special teams errors in Morgantown.
The Pokes will have to try to turn things around against Kansas State in Week 6. Otherwise, their hopes of a BCS bowl are cooked.ย ย ย
Former No. 22 Notre Dame is also out of the Top 25 after suffering a second loss on the season, this time to the No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners.
New teams this week include No. 22 Arizona State, as the Sun Devils convinced the pollsters with a blowout win over the USC Trojans. The Sun Devils posted a statement on Twitter:
No. 25 Maryland is also in the rankings after rolling past West Virginia 37-0 last week.
It should be another exciting slate of games with plenty of intrigue, upsets and adjustments inside the AP Top 25 pollย next week.ย
