Give credit to the AP Top 25 Poll for cleaning things up a bit.
With the rankings being maligned more than ever after a few glaring issues each week – the Coaches Poll is another hot mess – the AP got the two big ones right. Ole Miss is ranked ahead of LSU, and after its blowout win over Florida, Missouri is ranked ahead of the Gators.
There weren’t too many massive moves, but the pollsters swapped Indiana and Alabama, making the Georgia vs Alabama showdown this week just a bit bigger – now it’s No. 2 Bulldogs vs No. 6 Crimson Tide. Along with that, here are the Week 6 rankings.
