Week 5 College Football Power Rankings

Oklahoma's throttling of Ball State vaulted them back to the No. 1 spot.  Despite LSU's convincing win over Kentucky the Tigers dropped to No. 2.  Alabama had the most impressive win over the weekend in a  38-10 victory over Florida, but still remained at No. 3.  Oklahoma State and Boise State held their positions at Nos. 4 and 5 respectively.

The top five remained as the same five teams, but the rest of the rankings received a big shakeup.  The Lovell Lowdown matchup of the week is my No. 1 vs. No. 10.  The Red River Rivalry between Oklahoma and Texas.  Oklahoma came away with a 28-20 win last season and I think this season's game will be a close one again.  I have the Sooners retaining the Golden Hat Trophy with a 33-28 win over the Longhorns in Dallas.
