ESPN FPI updates Top 25 teams after 7 ranked teams lose during Week 5
A whopping 7 AP Top 25 teams all lost Saturday, and it’ll surely shake up Sunday’s AP Poll.
ESPN’s Football Power Index has started to include Pac-12 teams now that the conference is returning later this fall, and this week’s rankings look much different than last week’s.
The Georgia Bulldogs made one of the bigger jumps (up 2 spots to No. 4) this week after demolishing Auburn 27-6. That would be a fun College Football Playoff 4 — Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson and Georgia, although Florida will have something to say about the SEC East, too.
All total, just 5 SEC teams are ranked in the top 25. Texas A&M tumbled 9 spots following the blowout loss to Alabama and is ranked outside the top 25 at No. 28.
