Top 25 Teams - Week Five Polls
Ohio St. & Alabama Head Undefeated Clubs
QB Terrelle Pryor - Ohio St.
After the most exciting weekend of the college football 2010 season, the Top 25 teams undergoes many changes this week. The top two clubs, Ohio St and Alabama continue to meet every challenge and head a strong list of undefeated top ten teams. Both Texas and Penn St. have been removed from the Draft Insiders’ and AP polls. They were both disturbingly retained in the Coaches poll in the top 20 despite each sustaining their second loss by the first week of October. Oklahoma and Auburn continue as two of the unbeatens. The Sooners have been in our Top Ten since August while the Auburn Tigers were Draft Insiders sleeper team of the Year in the preseason when we ranked them in the Top 15 clubs.
