Here is our Top 25 Ranking for Week 5 of the College Football Season. Week four was a lackluster week of games in college football, which would leave one to believe we’d have little movement in our Top 25 Rankings… it’s kinda true. So our top teams went unchanged but after watching some of the performances by our next 15 we had to do a little housecleaning to make sure that everyone is where they belong. We saw Michigan continue to drop after what was a dominating performance against Notre Dame two weeks ago, while they have won both games since, neither wins have impressed us enough for them to maintain and if it wasn’t for the Notre Dame game, they would be with Maryland and Texas Tech as questionable unbeatens. Speaking of Maryland, if you have followed our blog or rankings, you’ll know that we called this and that we have started the unofficial campaign for CJ Brown’s Heisman candidacy. Other notables, was our Sun Devils getting thumped by what looked like an NFL team in Stanford. The silver lining was that the Devils fought till the end and came within a 4th down of having a chance to pull within 11 points with 4 minutes still left. Either way, they drop out of the top 25, again because of the performance. A top 25 team should be competitive within the rankings, sans Alabama and Oregon (maybe Stanford, we’ll see). Side note, keep you eye on UCF, the Knights might still be one of the better teams that no one is talking about. Also Washington and Baylor could both be considered outside contenders in their respective conferences to win! While we’re sharing random thoughts, how about Utah, they beat their instate Rivals Utah St and BYU to Own the State but a slip vs Oregon St who lost to Eastern Washington, keeps them off of the National Radar and ours. We’ll Utah, let’s see what you can do against the Pac12 South! Big game this week that we are personally stoked about and might get some play, Maryland and Florida State. Check back this week as we will have our Rivals Rundown Rewind and games to look forward to this weekend. Enjoy your NFL Sunday Funday! Update: We missed Texas Tech as the 25th ranked team when we originally published, so we had a couple of moves made to 25-30 and out…
