SALT LAKE CITY – The unexpected happened to many teams in Week 5.

In total, six Associated Press Top 25 teams lost games this week, although there were a few more that probably should have lost in a wild college football weekend.

The following is the ballot I submitted to the Associated Press that will be factored into the consensus rankings that will be released Sunday afternoon.

1.Alabama

It doesn’t seem to matter who the coach is, Alabama remains unstoppable. The Crimson Tide looked like they were going to overwhelm a good Georgia team, but allowed some dramatic events at the end, including a 75-yard touchdown and a late interception, to hold off the Bulldogs.

An offensive Alabama is a scary thought. Additionally, Alabama’s win over Georgia is better than Texas’ win over Michigan, giving the Crimson Tide the edge over first place.

2.Texas

Without Quinn Ewers under center, Texas is still doing its job with Arch Manning – strange, I know. Texas faced a little more adversity against an inferior Mississippi State team, but still managed to secure a comfortable win – even if it was well under the betting margin. But who asks?

3. Ohio State

It’s impossible to stop Jeremiah Smith, who is only 17 and plays all over the field. The Buckeyes handled Michigan State on the road, which is what we would expect. The schedule was still a bit easy for the Buckeyes, but wins are wins.

4. Tennessee

Tennessee won the bye week, with the teams around them falling. But don’t let that distract you from the fact that the Vols remain a force in the SEC – at least so far.

5. Georgia

For a while I literally had to question (somewhat seriously) whether Georgia was any good this year. The scare against Kentucky was one thing, but the blowout against Alabama was a bit unexpected. However, the Bulldogs made it a game to show that there’s a lot more to like about Georgia. But Kirby Smart officially has an Alabama problem — even without Nick Saban as coach.

6. Penn State

Against a good Illinois team that was undefeated, Penn State allowed just one touchdown in the first quarter and then held Illinois scoreless the rest of the game. The Nittany Lions are not a perfect team, but they were good enough against good teams.

7.Oregon

Oregon’s first Big Ten win came against…UCLA. It may have been a common opponent from the Pac-12 days, but the Ducks looked good in it. Quarterback Dillon Gabriel threw three touchdowns and 278 passing yards on 41 attempts. The road will certainly be much more difficult for Oregon in Big Ten play.

8. Notre Dame

After a tough loss to Northern Illinois, Notre Dame is a completely different team. Against a ranked Louisville team, Notre Dame scored 21 points in the first quarter to take a commanding lead. But things got a little more challenging as the Irish only managed 10 points as the game went on.

9. Missouri

Missouri had a bye this weekend and took advantage of the teams around them losing in the rankings. In my opinion, it’s still unclear whether Missouri is as good as these rankings, but I’m willing to take a chance for now.

10.Miami

A top-10 finish for Miami after this weekend may seem far-fetched, even if it is a three-spot drop from last week. The Hurricanes likely would have lost to Virginia Tech (a 19-point underdog) had a wild “Hail Mary” attempt not been ruled incomplete, but Miami remained undefeated. They remain my top team in the ACC, even if things are slipping a bit.
