USA Today College Football Poll 2013: Complete Week 6 Rankings Released

In the latest USA Today Coaches Poll ahead of Week 6's action, there wasn't a seismic shift among college football's elite teams.

Some marquee programs in the Top 25 had bye weeks, and those at the very top took care of business, but a battle between Southeastern Conference teams and a notable upset have had an impact on the rankings. Here's a look, along with B/R's official Top 25:

The hosting Georgia Bulldogs won a showdown in Athens with the rival LSU Tigers, as Bulldogs quarterback Aaron Murray out-dueled counterpart Zach Mettenberger in a thrilling shootout, 44-41.

Elsewhere in the SEC, the two-time reigning national champion Alabama Crimson Tide remained at No. 1, courtesy of a resounding 25-0 shutout victory over Ole Miss in Tuscaloosa.    

Alabama running back T.J. Yeldon popped off one of the best runs of the 2013 season. The super sophomore's spin move and breakaway speed allowed him to take the ball 68 yards to pay dirt to break open the game in the third quarter:

Speaking of sophomores, two Heisman Trophy-contending quarterbacks led their teams to victory. No. 2 Oregon's Marcus Mariota accounted for three total touchdowns in a 55-16 trouncing of Cal, while Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel threw for 261 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 59 additional yards in a road triumph over Arkansas.

A less heralded signal-caller is Stanford's Kevin Hogan, whose three touchdown tosses boosted the Cardinal to a 55-17 blowout conquering of Pac-12 foe Washington State.

Florida State freshman Jameis Winston continued a magnificent campaign for the Seminoles in keying a 48-34 win at Boston College by throwing for 330 yards and four touchdowns.

As for the Big 10 battle many fans were eager for, Ohio State benefited from Braxton Miller's return, as the junior quarterback threw four touchdowns in a 31-24 win over Wisconsin at Ohio Stadium.

Miller put to rest any concerns of rust after missing two-plus games with a knee injury.

South Carolina had a close call on the road against Central Florida, but prevailed 28-25 despite the last 15 points being scored by the Knights. Gamecocks running back Mike Davis took the game over in the second half and had all three of his touchdown runs in that span, finishing with 167 rushing yards for the day.

The fourth and only other clash between previously ranked teams was between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in South Bend.

Sooners QB Blake Bell had a coming-out party of sorts in completing 22 of 30 passes for 232 yards and two touchdowns and running for 59 yards in the 35-21 win.

Unfortunately for Notre Dame, senior Tommy Rees chucked three costly interceptions in the first half, which was a first in a decade for the vaunted program, per ESPN Stats & Info:

The luck of the Irish was alive and well last season, but it appears to have run out in 2013 after a second loss to knock Brian Kelly's bunch out of the Top 25.  

One team that climbed back into the Top 25 was Arizona State, who knocked off the USC Trojans in a 62-41 shootout at home, and that wound up costing Southern Cal head coach Lane Kiffin his job:

Week 6 should provide plenty of intrigue, as many teams start to get into their conference schedules.

The most notable matchups feature Ohio State visiting Northwestern in another Big 10 affair, along with a road trip for Washington—who dominated Arizona 31-13 on Saturday—to face Stanford in the Pac-12.

Pat Fitzgerald's Wildcats should give the Buckeyes trouble in Evanston, but it is worth noting that the Buckeyes neutralized a similarly prolific Wisconsin rushing attack this past week.

Washington has a balanced offense as well as the nation's fourth-ranked scoring defense, which bodes well for the Huskies' chances of pulling the upset at Stanford Stadium.
