BOISE, ID - SEPTEMBER 3: Quarterback Kellen Moore #6 of the Boise State Broncos barks out signals as center Thomas Byrd #66 of the Boise State Broncos waits to snap the ball in the third quarter of the game against the Oregon Ducks at Bronco Stadium on Se

Just when you thought it couldn't get any crazier, it didn't. Week Five was calm in comparison to recent weeks. Oklahoma drops out, and shows it really isn't the same team without Sam Bradford. Miami and Oregon make their cases, but will either of them make a Top 10 appearance?

Here is how I rank them.

No. 1 Florida Gators

LEXINGTON, KY - SEPTEMBER 26: Quarterback Tim Tebow #15 of the Florida Gators lays on the ground after being sacked by Taylor Wyndham #94 of the Kentucky Wildcats during the third quarter of the game at Commonwealth Stadium on September 26, 2009 in Lexing

The Gators will take advantage of the bye week in hopes that Tebow can return to full strength for LSU. They still remain poised to capture another championship.

Next Game: At LSU Tigers

No. 2 Texas Longhorns

The Longhorns hold steady to the No. 2 spot after a bye. They need to stay focused on Colorado this week before looking ahead to Oklahoma.

Next Game: vs Colorado

No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide

The Tide took advantage of four Kentucky turnovers to remain in National Title contention. This week should be more of a challenge when they visit Houston Nutt at Ole Miss.

Next Game: at Ole Miss

No. 4 Boise State Broncos

The Broncos remain unbeaten after defeating UC Davis on a rainy, and cold night in Boise. The Broncos are off this week before a Wednesday night showdown in Tulsa.

Next Game: at Tulsa

No. 5 LSU Tigers

ATHENS, GA - OCTOBER 03: Quarterback Jordan Jefferson #9 of the Louisiana State University Tigers runs the offense against the Georgia Bulldogs at Sanford Stadium on October 3, 2009 in Athens, Georgia. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)

The Tigers drop a spot after their second close game in a row. They have their shot at redemption this week when they host Urban and Co.

Next Game: vs Florida

No. 6 USC Trojans

BERKELEY, CA - OCTOBER 03:  Jeremy Ross #3 of the California Golden Bears is tackled by Kevin Thomas #15 of the USC Trojans at California Memorial Stadium on October 3, 2009 in Berkeley, California.  (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)

The Trojans kept their PAC 10 hopes alive with their astounding victory in Berkeley. National Championship game bound? We'll see.

Next Game: at Notre Dame

No. 7 Virginia Tech Hokies

RALEIGH, NC - SEPTEMBER 4:  Quarterback Marcus Vick #5 of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Hokies calls a play during the game against the North Carolina State University Wolfpack at Carter-Finley Stadium on September 4, 2005 in Ral

The Hokies had a hard time putting away Duke in a game that probably should not have been a challenge. You still have to give credit for the win, and VT remains poised to win the ACC.

Next Game: vs Boston College

No. 8 TCU Horned Frogs

SAN DIEGO, CA - DECEMBER 23:  Quarterback Andy Dalton #14 of  TCU throws the ball against Boise State during the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium on December 23, 2008 in San Diego, California. (Photo by Donald Miralle/Gett

The Horned Frogs continue to quietly push the Broncos for the coveted BCS invite for non Automatic Qualifying schools. And that's just the way Gary Patterson likes it.

Next Game: at Air Force

No. 9 Cincinnati Bearcats

PISCATAWAY, NJ - SEPTEMBER 07:  Tony Pike #15 of the Cincinnati Bearcats throws a pass against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights at Rutgers Stadium on September 7, 2009 in Piscataway, New Jersey.   by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)  (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Image

Cincinnati kept their championship hopes alive with their pounding of Miami (Ohio). Can the unbeaten Bearcats keep rolling?

Next Game: at South Florida

No. 10 Ohio State Buckeyes

COLUMBUS, OH - SEPTEMBER 26:  Quarterback Terrelle Pryor #2 of the Ohio State Buckeyes hands off to running back Brandon Saine #3 of the Buckeyes during a game against the Illinois Fighting Illini at Ohio Stadium on September 26, 2009 in Columbus, Ohio.

The Buckeyes are no longer viewed as the best team in Ohio. The question is: How long will it take them to regain that title?

Next Game: vs Wisconsin
