Week 5 is in the books, and we have a new top 25 entering Week 6 of the college football season. As it was last week, the Texas Longhorns and Georgia Bulldogs lead the way in this week’s latest AP Top 25 Poll. In total, 9 SEC teams cracked this week’s top 25.
Texas observed a bye this past week as the Longhorns prepare for next week’s rivalry matchup against Oklahoma. Georgia, on the other hand, dispatched Vanderbilt after a slow start turned into a blowout 38-14 win. Alabama jumped slightly in the rankings, now sitting at No. 6 heading into Week 6’s monster clash against the Bulldogs in Tuscaloosa.
Other ranked SEC teams include the following: Ole Miss (No. 9), LSU (No. 10), Mizzou (No. 14) Tennessee (No. 15), Florida (No. 16) and Mississippi State (No. 17).
