What a week of college football. From Tennessee’s mind blowing Hail Mary to top Georgia’s own Hail Mary, to Clemson’s thrilling win over Lamar Jackson and Louisville, week five saw it all. There were so many entertaining games to take in, and many teams made their cases to move up in the top 25 rankings. The AP Poll has been released, and now it is time for me to release mine:

1. Alabama
2. Ohio State
3. Clemson
4. Michigan
5. Washington
6. Houston
7. Louisville
8. Texas A&M
9. Tennessee
10. Miami
11. Nebraska
12. Wisconsin
13. Baylor
14. Stanford
15. West Virginia
16. Boise State
17. Arkansas
18. Colorado
19. North Carolina
20. Florida State
21. Virginia Tech
22. Utah
23. Ole Miss
24. Western Michigan
25. Florida

Colorado (+7), Washington (+6), Boise State (+6) and Arkansas (+6) were the biggest risers in my rankings. Florida State (-8) and Stanford (-7) dropped the most after suffering a loss. North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Ole Miss, Western Michigan and Florida climbed into the rankings, while Texas, San Diego State, Michigan State, Arizona State and TCU dropped out.

My top ten is the same as the AP top ten. I have Nebraska (#11, #12 AP) ahead of Wisconsin (#12, #11 AP) in my rankings. After Baylor (#13, #13 AP), no teams have the same rankings in both polls. Stanford (#14, #15 AP) took a huge hit after an embarrassing loss. Ole Miss (#23) at #14 in the AP makes absolutely no sense. I feel that the AP has West Virginia (#15, #22 AP) and Colorado (#18, #21 AP) too low. Boise State (#16, #19 AP) and Arkansas (#17, #16 AP) are beneficiaries of the lack of quality teams in the top 25.

North Carolina (#19, #17 AP) notches a spot above Florida State (#20, #23 AP) after defeating them on a last second field goal. Virginia Tech (#21, #25 AP), Utah (#22, #24 AP), Western Michigan (#24, NR AP) help shape the back section of my poll. Florida (#25, #18 AP) is another example – like Ole Miss – of SEC bias in college football. I’m sorry, but a 13-6 win over lowly Vanderbilt does not justify moving up to #18. Not even close. The AP has Oklahoma at #20, but I am sticking to my previous rule that a .500 team that has played four or more games does not deserve a spot in the rankings.

Do you agree or disagree with my rankings? While you ponder that, here are the games to watch in week six:

Texas vs Oklahoma – 11:00 AM on FS1

Tennessee @ Texas A&M – 2:30 PM on CBS

Alabama @ Arkansas – 6:00 PM on ESPN

Florida State @ Miami – 7:00 PM on ABC

Washington State @ Stanford – 9:30 PM on ESPN
