Made as of Week 5 records
1 CLEMSON
The Tigers have played the best schedule of anyone to this point with wins over three other teams on this list, two of which came on the road.
2 ALABAMA
Alabama is rolling as you might expect and is the only team to beat Florida State with Dandre Francois. Unfortunately, that won't change and the committee will have to debate how to evaluate the quality of that win.
3 GEORGIA
The Bulldogs have a win at Notre Dame and did not miss a beat when starting quarterback Jason Eason got hurt.
4 OKLAHOMA
The Sooners have one of the best wins of the season in a dominant performance at Ohio State.
5 TCU
Gary Patterson's crew is winning more with offense than defense, which is unusual. The Frogs have a comfortable win at Oklahoma State and beat improving SMU at home.
6 PENN ST.
The defending Big Ten champions have been piling up points at home but needed a touchdown on the final play to win their one road game at Iowa.
7 MICHIGAN
The Wolverines throttled Florida to open the season but have struggled to find a rhythm offensively, even against the lesser teams on their schedule. Michigan's defense is one of the best in the country though.
8 WASHINGTON ST.
The Cougars provided some #Pac12AfterDark magic with a win over conference favorite USC on Friday. However, they have yet to play away from home.
9 WISCONSIN
The Badgers early season schedule lacks highlights, but they have won at BYU and beat Northwestern at home.
10 WASHINGTON
The Huskies also haven't played anyone of note yet, but they are winning big and have played three road games so far.
11 MIAMI (FLA.)
Unfortunately, we just haven't seen that much of Miami yet. The win at Duke is nice, but the Hurricanes should get a tougher test at Florida State this week.
12 AUBURN
The Tigers are the highest rated one-loss team on this list. That loss was 14-6 at Clemson, the toughest test so far for the top rated team.
13 VIRGINIA TECH
The Hokies played Clemson reasonably well at home but lost by 14. They opened the season with a neutral-field win against West Virginia. They are a contender in the ACC Coastal.
14 NOTRE DAME
Other than a one-point loss at home to Georgia, the Irish look much improved over a year ago. Their best win so far was a dominant performance at Michigan State.
15 OKLAHOMA ST.
The Cowboys have looked every bit the part of the team we expected them to be ... except for that loss at home to TCU.
16 OHIO ST.
The Buckeyes seem to have resolved some of their early season issues that were exposed in the loss to Oklahoma, although better tests of that are ahead.
17 SAN DIEGO ST.
The Aztecs already have two Pac-12 wins, including one over Stanford at home. I am not sure they can get much higher than this in the rankings, though, as the teams around them get deeper into conference play and see their schedules improve.
18 USC
The Trojans have not found the form they had late last season, and as a result, they already have a loss and are fortunate not to have two.
19 UTAH
The Utes won at BYU, but BYU is not the BYU we are used to seeing. They will get their toughest test so far when Stanford and Heisman candidate Bryce Love visit this week.
20 LOUISVILLE
Lamar Jackson has the Cardinals' offense flying again, but they got smoked at home by Clemson and struggled to beat Purdue in the season opener.
21 FLORIDA
The Gators seem to be winning with smoke and mirrors and, initially, a sputtering offense. Luke Del Rio seemed to spark that unit, but now he is out for the season.
22 UCF
This is not the American Athletic Conference team we expected to see in the top 25 this season, but the Knights were dominant in wins over Memphis and at Maryland.
23 NC STATE
The Wolfpack have rebounded from the season opening loss to South Carolina. They won at Florida State in James Blackman's first start at quarterback for the Noles.
24 DUKE
Until getting run off their home field by Miami, the Blue Devils had looked pretty good to start the season. That start included a dominating performance over Northwestern.
25 MARYLAND
The Terrapins are on their third QB now, Max Bortenschlager, after the first two were lost to the season with injuries. Maryland won at Texas and Minnesota, which were the games that their quarterbacks were injured and had to be replaced mid-game.
