Five weeks into the 2023 college football season has given us quite a bit of information. There’s a lot of football to be played this season, but the contenders are beginning to separate themselves from the pack.
In the Big 12, only Texas and Oklahoma were ranked in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll. This week’s Red River Rivalry game will have huge conference title implications.
While the SEC and Big 12 have clear frontrunners, the Pac-12 and the Big Ten have a number of teams that will make some noise throughout the season on their way to contention.
Oregon, USC, Washington, and Washington State remain undefeated after week 5, and Utah and Oregon State are still very much in the mix.
In the Big Ten, Michigan may look like the best team in the conference, but Penn State and Ohio State aren’t far behind.
It’s going to be a fascinating next two months in college football.
Here are this week’s College Football Power Rankings after week 5.
Dropped Out:
Florida Gators: Lost to Kentucky
Kansas Jayhawks: Lost to Texas
