It's the same top five leading this week's USA TODAY Sports NCAA Re-Rank 1-131. In other words, Alabama continues to fend off Georgia to remain atop the rankings, even if the Bulldogs' play has made a huge dent in the Crimson Tide's preseason lead and lead the coaches poll.
The Crimson Tide, Bulldogs, No. 3 Ohio State, No. 4 Michigan and No. 5 Oklahoma represent the best of the best in the Bowl Subdivision. The Sooners join this group after a 49-14 win at Nebraska in the first road test of the Brent Venables era.
