"Disgusting" "Why is Texas top 10": CFB fans blast AP Poll top 25 rankings after Week 5 of college football games

Following an exciting week of college football, the AP Poll witnessed a lot of shake-ups in its ranking after Week 5. A total of four teams in the top 10 of the previous ranking suffered an upset on Saturday. These include three of the top five teams, leading to their drop.

Ohio State retained its place at the top of the ranking after seeing off Washington in Seattle. Oregon moved four places up to become the No. 2 team on the poll following the overtime win against Penn State, while Miami, which had a bye, dropped a place to third.

Ole Miss made the biggest leap on the AP Poll this week. The Rebels moved up nine places to fourth after defeating LSU to claim the Magnolia Bowl Trophy. Oklahoma wraps up the top five in the ranking, moving two places up, despite being on a bye this week.

Alabama made one of the most notable climbs in the poll this week. The Crimson Tide moved up seven places after defeating Georgia in Athens. Florida State suffered the biggest fall in the ranking, dropping 10 places to 18th, following the upset at the hands of Virginia.

There's been a lot of reaction to the latest ranking among college football fans. The AP Poll is known to always create division among fans and this week, which experienced wild results, wasn't left out. Here's a look at some of the reactions online:

@On3sports Can I ask what Texas has done to be above Alabama? How are we rating Arizona State and not Mississippi state? Illinois shouldn't even be scraping #30.

@On3sports Who has Penn State beaten to still be ranked inside the top 10 after 𝐚 win while Georgia fell to 12?

@On3sports Better than the Coaches Poll, but Texas Tech and Iowa State deserve to be ranked in the Top 10 more than Penn State, Texas, and Alabama right now.

@On3sports Had to assume they’d catapult Vandy and squeeze Bama into the top 10 to justify that gameday pick.

@On3sports 4 of the top five teams losing during OU’s bye week is what we call “Sooner Black Magic”
