The top 25 is once again headed by Ohio State following week 5 but they’re losing first place votes after an unimpressive win over lowly Indiana. TCU and Baylor are picking up steam thanks to big Big 12 wins, Utah join the top 5 without even playing, Clemson enter the top 10 after beating Notre Dame, who suffer a massive drop, just like Ole Miss and UCLA. Toledo and Iowa make their rankings debut, while Wisconsin, Mississippi State and West Virginia get dropped.

1. Ohio State Buckeyes (38 first place votes), 5-0: The Buckeyes keep winning but losing first place votes, not impressing too much in a 34-27 win over Indiana.

2. TCU Horned Frogs (5), 5-0: A two spot rise for TCU, beating Texas 50-7 to impress the voters.

3. Baylor Bears (10), 4-0: As expected, their game against Texas Tech (63-35) was an offensive monster, helping them rise two spots.

4. Michigan State Spartans, 4-0: Fell two spots following a disappointing 24-21 win over Purdue.

5. Utah Utes (7), 4-0: Climb five spots despite not even playing.

6. Clemson Tigers, 4-0: A 24-22 win over Notre Dame gives them a six spot boost.

7. LSU Tigers, 4-0: Climb two spots after beating Eastern Michigan 44-22 as Leonard Fournette keeps shattering rushing records.

8. Alabama Crimson Tide, 4-1: A 38-10 win on the road against Georgia puts them back in the discussion, including a five-spot rise.

9. Texas A&M Aggies (1), 5-0: Another impressive performance, this time 30-17 against Mississippi State, helps them climb five spots.

10. Oklahoma Sooners, 4-0: Their 44-24 win over West Virginia propels them into the top 10, a rise of five spots.

11. Florida Gators, 5-0: Haven’t been taken seriously for a whole, but it’s hard not to after they beat #3 ranked Ole Miss 38-10, helping them climb 14 spots.

12. Florida State Seminoles, 4-0: Fell one spot following their 24-16 win over Wake Forest.

13. Northwestern Wildcats, 5-0: Shut out Minnesota 27-0 to climb three more spots up the polls.

14. Ole Miss Rebels, 4-1: An 11-spot drop for the Rebels after getting crushed 38-10 by Florida.

15. Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 4-1: Almost beat the odds again, but playing with the backup quarterback hurts you, and the Irish finally fell in Clemson (24-22), falling nine spots.

16. Stanford Cardinal, 4-1: A two spot climb for Stanford after a 55-17 win over Arizona.

23. California Golden Bears, 5-0: A one spot climb for California following a 34-28 win over Washington State.
