Who is on top of the AP college football poll for week 5?
After a weekend in which four top-10 teams lost, The Associated Press college football poll received a major makeover. No. 1 Florida, No. 2 Texas and No. 3 Alabama held their places in the media poll released Sunday, but 15 teams moved up or down at least three spots. The results have left the 60 sports writers and sportscasters on the AP panel struggling to fill out their ballots. “This was one of the toughest weeks I can remember in my 10 years of being a pollster, because after the top 3 there simply weren’t any other squads that merited a top-10 ranking, much less a No. 4-5-6,” said Barker Davis of The Washington Times in an e-mail. LSU is up to No. 4 after barely avoiding an upset at Mississippi State on Saturday. No. 5 Boise State is in the top five for the first time in the regular season. No. 6 Virginia Tech, No. 7 Southern California and No. 9 Ohio State are back in the top 10. Cincinnati moved up four spots to No. 10, the best ranking in school history. No. 13 Iowa and No. 16
The college football rankings for week 5 look as topsy-turvy as ever. College football rankings in week 5 were complicated at the top 10, but the college football rankings for week 5 reorganized the top 10 as best they could.With pretty much every top 10 team losing this week, the college football rankings for week 5 were bound to look very interesting. In fact, they are so interesting that Boise State is in the top 5, and teams like Virginia Tech, USC and Oklahoma are moving up the college football rankings again. According to USA TODAY, the new college football rankings for week 5 of the coaches poll have Boise State as the new number 5, their highest ranking ever. The top 3 stayed the same – and was about the only thing that stayed the same – as Florida, Texas and Alabama are still 1-2-3. LSU is number 4, despite needing a goal line stand to beat Mississippi State. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/polls Ac
