After an insane weekend in which six ranked teams lost, the Week 5 AP poll reflects the results.
Ohio State joins the top five, at No. 4 up from No. 6, after beating mathematically challenged Notre Dame, which went from No.9 to, appropriately, No. 11 -- the number of players they should have had on the field on the final, game-deciding play (not 10).
Colorado's early-season run as a ranked team is over after getting demolished by Oregon 42-6. The short-lived rise under new head coach Deion Sanders came after the Buffaloes exceeded expectations by tripling their win total to start 3-0. Yet, after struggles in Week 4, Colorado is one of three teams to drop out of this week's rankings, joining UCLA and Iowa.
The road to winning won't get any easier for the Buffaloes. Colorado will play its second top-10 opponent in as many weeks in Week 5 as No. 8 Southern California heads to Boulder.
