Week 5 of the College Football season did not disappoint. In what was promised to be a day of ranked matchups and wall-to-wall action, Saturday was packed with upsets and overtime finishes. Six top 25 teams fell, including three of the top 5. As a result, the Week 6 AP Top 25 features some major movement, so let's break it down.
Ohio State remains No. 1 with 46 first-place votes after a win at Washington, but Oregon surged four spots to No. 2 and picked up 16 first-place votes following its double-overtime victory at Penn State. Miami slipped one spot to No. 3 despite being idle, while Ole Miss rocketed nine places to No. 4 after beating LSU in Oxford. Oklahoma benefited in its bye week, rounding out the top five for its highest placement in two years.
Texas A&M starts Week 6 just outside the top 5 at No. 6 after taking care of business against Auburn. Indiana has entered the top 10 for the second straight season after a 20-15 victory over Iowa. Texas moved up one spot out of its bye week, while Alabama has reentered the top 10 after snapping Georgia's nation-leading 33-game home winning streak.
The losses piled up for several contenders. Penn State fell four spots to No. 7 after its home loss to Oregon. James Franklin now falls to 2-21 against AP top 6 opponents. Georgia tumbled all the way out of the top 10 to No. 12 after going down to Alabama. LSU dropped nine spots to No. 13 after another lackluster offensive showing in Oxford, and Florida State slid 10 spots to No. 18 after an overtime loss at then-unranked Virginia.
