AP Top 25 poll: Michigan State jumps Ohio State for No. 5 in new college football rankings - CBS Sports

USATSI

Michigan State's thrilling 37-33 win against Michigan was one of the best games of the week and the AP Top 25 poll voters took note of the Spartans' stock, moving them up to No. 5 in the new college football rankings. 

Georgia remains the unanimous No. 1 after rolling Florida in its rivalry game, followed by Cincinnati at No. 2, Alabama at No. 3 and Oklahoma at No. 4. Michigan State's move to No. 5 bumps Ohio State down one spot to No. 6 after its win against Penn State, while Michigan fell just three spots to No. 9. 

Wake Forest also moved up three spots to No. 10, the highest-ranking ever for the Demon Deacons. Wake Forest had been the only team in a Power Five conference that had never been ranked in the top 10.

Losses by the likes of Iowa, Ole Miss and Kentucky -- ranked No. 9, No. 10 and No. 12, respectively, in last week's poll -- freed up plenty of room for upward momentum for teams who notched big wins in Week 9. Notre Dame moved up to No. 8 after beating North Carolina and Auburn moved up six spots to No. 12 after its impressive SEC West win against Ole Miss. 

Further down in the rankings there was a soft landing for Ole Miss at No. 15, Kentucky at No. 18 and Iowa at No. 19 after Week 9 losses while Pitt, San Diego State and Iowa State  fell all the way out of the top 25. Those results allowed Houston, Louisiana and Fresno State, which handed San Diego State its first loss of the season, to break into the rankings.
