AP Top 25 rankings, Week 5: Alabama loses votes, Michigan tumbles, Fresno State joins

Oregon pick off some first place votes, but the Crimson Tide are still firmly on top.

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Spor

After a week in which 19 of 20 ranked teams won their games, the AP Top 25 poll remained largely unchanged. Alabama remains on top, though the Tide lost three of the 59 first-place votes they held entering Saturday. Oregon stayed in the second slot, followed by Clemson, Ohio State, and Stanford. LSU, Louisville, Florida State, Georgia, and Texas A&M round out the top 10.

The AP Poll is not considered in the BCS calculation, and has not been used by the BCS since 2004.
