College Football Rankings, Week 5: Kansas State Leaps To No. 8 In Coaches Poll

As was the case in the AP Poll, the Oregon Ducks jumped the LSU Tigers in the latest USA Today Coaches' Poll, leaping into the No. 2 spot after topping the Arizona Wildcats over the weekend. The Kansas State Wildcats broke the top 10 after an upset victory over the Oklahoma Sooners.

The Wildcats, ranked No. 13 headed into the weekend showdown with No. 5 Oklahoma, stunned the Sooners in Norman, and jump five spots to No. 8 in this week's poll.

LSU slips to No. 3 in the latest iteration of the Coaches' Poll after their tough road victory over the Auburn Tigers, landing just 10 points behind the Ducks.

The nation continues to lag behind the Crimson Tide, who ride atop the rankings for a fourth consecutive week. The Tigers and the Tide are joined by two other SEC teams in the top six — the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs and No. 6 South Carolina Gamecocks.

The Florida State Seminoles remain at No. 4 after defeating the then-No. 9 Clemson Tigers over the weekend, but build some support, gaining 1306 points after receiving 1240 last week.

College Football Rankings, Week 5: Oregon Jumps LSU For No. 2

There is a new No. 2 in town. On the strength of their 49-0 victory over the Arizona Wildcats, the Oregon Ducks have overtaken the LSU Tigers and landed at No. 2 in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll.

New No. 3 LSU had trouble topping the unranked Auburn Tigers and fell a spot, 68 points behind the Ducks.

The poll, released early Sunday, most rewarded the Kansas State Wildcats for their weekend performance, jumping the Wildcats from No. 15 to No. 7 after their upset victory over the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, Okla.

The Wildcats, and the rest of the country, continue to trail the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide, which collected 59 of the poll's 60 first-place votes. LSU received one first-place vote.

Along with Alabama and LSU, the SEC boasts four of the top six teams in the poll, as the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs and No. 6 South Carolina Gamecocks maintain their strong overall support from voters. The Florida State Seminoles landed at No. 4 after beating the Clemson Tigers on Saturday night.
