The newest AP poll is here, and we have a swap of the SEC teams at the top of the board following Week 5 conference action.
Biggest risers
The No. 18 UCLA Bruins and No. 17 TCU Horned Frogs both catapulted into the polls after receiving under five votes in total last week thanks to huge wins over ranked teams this week.
Nick Saban will be pleased to see that Alabama has re-entered the No. 1 spot following their win over Arkansas after the now-No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs came far too close to losing their undefeated streak against the Missouri Tigers on Saturday night.
No. 9 Ole Miss' victory over Kentucky put them in the top ten. No. 19 Kansas and No. 25 LSU also join the top 25.
Biggest fallers
Arkansas, Florida State, Pittsburgh, Oklahoma, and Minnesota have all fallen out of the Top 25 after a chaotic weekend that saw ten ranked teams lose. NC State dropped to No. 14 from No. 10 after a loss to Clemson, and No. 13 Kentucky is out of the top ten after a heartbreaker against Ole Miss.
