Week 5 College Football Results

The Top 25 (more or less) remained pretty static this week. There were only three real upsets over the weekend. #8 Oklahoma dropped a real close contest to #17 Miami, #12 Houston lost a high scoring affair to Texas El-Paso, and #22 Michigan lost to Michigan State. As a result, there is likely to be little movement in the ranks.

Here are the rankings and results of the week five contests. The rankings are from the AP/Coaches Poll/CBSSports 120. Those in parentheses are from week 4. I'll post the new rankings later today or tomorrow.
