For the third-straight week, Ohio State is the No. 2 team in the nation, trailing only Alabama, the defending national champions.

Behind them, Louisville fell from No. 4 to No. 8 after its close loss to No. 3 Clemson, Stanford fell out of the top-10 after being dismantled by Washington, and Wisconsin fell to No. 13 after a close loss to Michigan.

The upcoming week 6 is relatively tame by this week's standards. The weekend features just two contests between ranked teams – No. 9 Tennessee vs. No. 7 Texas A&M as well as No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 17 Arkansas.
