AP Poll, college football

Heading into Week 6, the Houston Cougars are one of two undefeated teams that are not receiving AP Poll votes.
Nicole Auerbach jumped the Crimson Tide all the way up to No. 4 after the win in Athens. Why are her fellow AP voters hesitant to give Alabama more credit?
Five of Alabama's next six games are against ranked foes, starting with Saturday's home clash versus the Vanderbilt Commodores. The good news for the Tide is that four of those five games take place in Tuscaloosa. The only road Top 25 game left on their schedule is at Missouri in two weeks.
The AP Poll released the latest edition of their rankings for the Top-25 on Sunday. It has now again since been criticized, including by ESPN’s Heather Dinich on Monday. Dinich was asked for her biggest takeaway from this past weekend in college football while appearing on SportsCenter this afternoon alongside Paul Finebaum and Matt Barrie.

Oregon moves to No. 2 behind Buckeyes in AP poll; Rebels, Sooners join top 5; Alabama back in top 10
Oregon has moved up to No. 2 in The Associated Press college football poll, while Mississippi has its highest ranking since 2015.
If Illinois lost on Saturday, they would’ve likely been unranked on Saturday. But a last-second win over USC sent the Illini to No. 22 in the AP poll. Bret Bielema’s group has been ranked every week this season, and hasn’t been unranked since Week 12 of last season. Pretty impressive for this group.
