The trend toward top 25 chaos mellowed out a little this week, with the top half mostly taking care of business. One top-10 mainstay you wont see there this week, though, is Houston, which dropped 10 spots after a loss to Navy. Stanford also lost for the second straight week, which dropped it out of our Power Rankings completely.We know there is still one Power 5 game left to play -- Georgia at South Carolina (2:30 p.m. ET on SEC Network) -- but it wont be factored into this weeks list.Power Rankings voters: Edward Aschoff, Butch Davis, Heather Dinich, Brad Edwards, Chris Fallica, Rod Gilmore, Danny Kanell, Chris Low, Ivan Maisel, Ryan McGee, Adam Rittenberg, Mark Schlabach | How they votedPrevious rankings: Week 1?|?Week 2 |?Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 51.

Alabama figures to get tested these next two weeks by Tennessee and Texas A&M.2.?Ohio State Buckeyes?(5-0)Trending:?Week 5 ranking: 2 Week 6 result:?defeated Indiana 38-17As usual, Ohio State struggled with Indiana before finally putting the Hoosiers away with a fourth-down stop in the fourth quarter. The Buckeyes, who have been as dominant as any team in the country, were due for a lackluster showing.3.?Clemson Tigers?(6-0)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?3 Week 6 result:?defeated Boston College 56-10Quarterback Deshaun Watson reinforced his Heisman credentials with four touchdown passes in Clemsons 56-10 rout of Boston College on Thursday. Watson also threw a key block that helped clear the path for a 59-yard Wayne Gallman touchdown. If the Tigers can take care of North Carolina State next weekend, theyll have the rest of the month to get ready for the Oct. 29 road trip to Tallahassee.4.?Washington Huskies?(6-0)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?5 Week 6 result:?defeated Oregon 70-21The Huskies have defeated Pac-12 powers Stanford and Oregon by a combined score of 114-27 in the past two weeks.

The Wolverines held Rutgers to two first downs, two completions and 39 yards of offense. Michigan continues to remain on a Nov. 26 collision course with Ohio State, when the Big Ten East title -- and a spot in the playoff -- could be determined.6.?Louisville Cardinals?(4-1)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?7 Week 6 result:?byeThe Cards had the week off to recover from their emotional loss at Clemson. Louisville is still very much alive in the CFP race, and should be heavily favored in its next five games before a Nov. 17 trip to Houston.7.?Texas A&M Aggies?(6-0)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?8 Week 6 result:?defeated Tennessee 45-38Texas A&M is 6-0 for the first time since 1994 following a wild double-overtime victory over Tennessee.

Texas A&M visits Tuscaloosa on Oct. 22, following the upcoming off week.8.?Wisconsin Badgers?(4-1)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?10 Week 6 result:?byeAfter grueling back-to-back road trips to Michigan State and Michigan, the Badgers had an opportune week off. But theres no rest for the weary. Undefeated Ohio State visits Madison next.9.?Tennessee Volunteers?(5-1)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?9 Week 6 result:?lost to Texas A&M 45-38Tennessee ultimately couldnt overcome seven turnovers. But the Vols showed a ton of fight in the double-overtime loss in College Station, rallying from two touchdowns down in the final two minutes of regulation. Who knows whether Tennessee has anything left in the tank? But the Vols will have a shot to re-enter the playoff conversation next weekend at home against Alabama.10.?Nebraska Cornhuskers?(5-0)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?12 Week 6 result:?byeThe Huskers quietly are still undefeated, having outscored the opposition 78-6 in the fourth quarter so far. Bigger tests, however, wait ahead for Mike Rileys crew, namely back-to-back road tilts at Wisconsin (Oct. 29) and Ohio State (Nov. 5).11.?Ole Miss Rebels?(3-2)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?16 Week 6 result:?byeOle Miss quarterback?Chad Kelly?ran onto the field after a brawl erupted at his brothers high school game in New York on Friday. Thankfully for the Rebels, Kelly was restrained before anything else happened. The Rebels have played as well as any two-loss team in the country, and Kelly has been the biggest reason why.12.?Baylor Bears?(5-0)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?17 Week 6 result:?byeThe Bears face Kansas next weekend then have another off week before their real season begins, which will include road trips to Texas, Oklahoma and West Virginia.13.?Florida State Seminoles?(4-2)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?19 Week 6 result:?defeated Miami 20-19After falling to North Carolina last weekend on a field goal, Florida State bounced back by blocking a Miami extra point to knock off the Hurricanes. That makes seven wins in a row against Miami for the Seminoles, and figures to help them turn the page on what was a rocky start to the season.14.?Houston Cougars?(5-1)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?4 Week 6 result:?lost to Navy 46-40The Midshipmen turned three Greg Ward Jr. turnovers into 17 points and rolled up 306 yards on the ground against the nations top-ranked statistical run defense going into the weekend. Houstons dream of becoming the first Group of 5 program to make the playoff likely has come to an end.15. Boise State Broncos?(5-0)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?22 Week 6 result: defeated New Mexico 49-21Boise State clobbered New Mexico behind Brett Rypiens five touchdown passes. With Houston falling at Navy, the Broncos are now in position to become the Group of 5 representative for a New Years Six bowl.16.?Miami Hurricanes?(4-1)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?11 Week 5 result:?lost to Florida State 20-19After a cupcake start to the season, the Hurricanes had a chance to make a statement against the rival Seminoles. Instead, Miami missed the game-tying extra point with less than two minutes to go before losing the game. Mark Richt has the Hurricanes on the upswing. But theres still work to be done.17.?Virginia Tech Hokies?(4-1)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?NR Week 5 result:?defeated North Carolina 34-3The Hokies are beginning to hit their stride under first-year coach Justin Fuente, as Virginia Tech wiped out North Carolina in the rain on the road. While Clemson and Louisville have been generating the headlines out of the ACC, Virginia Tech is flying under the radar as the new favorite in the Coastal Division.18.?Oklahoma Sooners?(3-2)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?20 Week 6 result:?defeated Texas 45-40Oklahoma became the fifth team in FBS history to have a 300-yard passer, 200-yard rusher and 200-yard receiver in the same game. Dede Westbrook set a school record with 232 yards receiving and Baker Mayfield broke a Red River record with 390 passing yards. The Sooners are quietly sitting at 2-0 in the Big 12 with a pair of victories away from home.19.?Florida Gators?(4-1)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?21 Week 6 result:?game against LSU postponedHurricane Matthew wiped out Floridas game against LSU, and it remains unclear if and when it will be rescheduled, though SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said, the game needs to be played. Playing Oct. 29 would be an option, though it would force some shuffling of the SEC schedule. The alternative would be Nov. 19, though it would require LSU giving up a home game, and both schools buying out dates against FCS opponents.20.?Utah Utes?(4-1)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?25 Week 6 result:?defeated Arizona 36-23After a sloppy first half that included 11 penalties, Utah rebounded to take care of Arizona. Assuming they can get out of Corvallis next weekend with another victory, the Utes will face their defining stretch with consecutive games against UCLA, Washington and Arizona State.21.?West Virginia Mountaineers?(4-0)Trending:?Week 5 ranking: 23 Week 6 result:?byeWest Virginia has already defeated three solid opponents in Missouri, BYU and Kansas State. If the Mountaineers can escape a tricky road trip to Texas Tech, theyll have an opportunity to send a message in the Big 12 race in key games against TCU (Oct. 22) and Oklahoma State (Oct. 29).22.?Western Michigan Broncos?(6-0)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?NR Week 6 result:?defeated Northern Illinois 45-30Its beginning to feel like a magical season for P.J. Flecks bunch, as Western Michigan is 6-0 for the first time since 1941. According to the FPI, the Broncos 6-0 start has been the most unlikely of the 11 unbeaten teams left in the FBS.23.?Arkansas Razorbacks?(4-1)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?14 Week 6 result:?lost to Alabama 49-30The Razorbacks were never really in the game with Alabama, which forced five turnovers and scored a pair of defensive touchdowns. Arkansas suddenly finds itself at the bottom of the SEC West standings, which makes next weekends bout with Ole Miss a potential fork-in-the-road game for Bret Bielema and the Hogs.24.?Auburn Tigers?(4-2)Trending:?Week 5 ranking: ?NR Week 6 result:?defeated Mississippi State 38-14After a pair of September losses to top-10 teams, Gus Malzahn has righted the ship at Auburn, as the Tigers obliterated Mississippi State in Starkville. Malzahn appears to also have found his go-to guy in bruising running back Kamryn Pettway, who rolled up 169 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 39 carries -- all career-highs -- on Saturday.25.?Arizona State Sun Devils?(5-1)Trending:?Week 5 ranking:?NR Week 6 result:?defeated UCLA 23-20Arizona States Zane Gonzalez kicked three field goals to become the FBS all-time leader, as the Sun Devils netted a key win over the Bruins.

LAS VEGAS -- Eddie Alvarez persevered through financial troubles, promotional disputes and a loss in his UFC debut to get back to the cage with a title shot.And then he beat Rafael Dos Anjos with a fire thats been growing for years.Alvarez won the UFC lightweight belt Thursday night, stopping Dos Anjos in the first round with a blistering series of strikes.Alvarez (28-4) needed just 3:49 to finish Dos Anjos (24-8), the Brazilian champion with a five-fight winning streak. The Philadelphia-based contender initially caught Dos Anjos with a damaging right hand, but had to unload dozens of strikes on the still-standing Dos Anjos until finally getting a stoppage.Eddie is no Rocky-style underdog, but hell get his fight-crazed citys attention with a moment that validated his lengthy quest.This has always been a marathon for me, not a sprint, Alvarez said. Everybody was always telling me what I should do and when I should do it. I just think if you work hard enough and you love something, these belts are just byproducts of it. This (belt) will not be here forever, but I just think working hard and doing something youre passionate about is important.Alvarez won the title in just his fourth fight with the UFC, which signed him in 2014 after his protracted departure from the Bellator promotion. The accompanying legal troubles drained Alvarezs bank account and nearly soured him on the sport.After finally getting to the UFC, Alvarez was trounced by Donald Cowboy Cerrone in his first bout. He recovered with split-decision wins over Gilbert Melendez and Pettis to get a title shot -- and he was nearly perfect.Alvarez believed he could better Dos Anjos formidable striking skills, and he was devastatingly correct: His big right hand appeared to roll Dos Anjos eyes back in his head.I just remember thinking, `Step on the gas and dont let this get out oof the first, because I could be dealing with a long night, Alvarez said.dddddddddddd. I had him hurt, so I had to empty the gas tank. I told you, dont bring the dog out of me.Dos Anjos somehow kept his feet against several flurries of big punches, but Alvarez chased Dos Anjos across the cage and unloaded with another bunch of unblocked shots, forcing the referee to stop the bout.No excuses. All the credit is for Eddie, Dos Anjos said. I was with my hands up when I got caught. I saw the punch. I was watching. Thats the fight game, man.Dos Anjos defended his belt impressively with a 66-second TKO of Cerrone in December for his first title defense, but he missed out on a lucrative bout with Conor McGregor in March after breaking his foot in training.The 12-fight event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena kicked off International Fight Week for the UFC, which is staging shows on three consecutive nights, culminating in UFC 200 on Saturday.Before the main event, heavyweight contender Derrick Lewis won a split decision over veteran Roy Nelson, and welterweight contender Alan Jouban claimed a brutal decision over iron-chinned UFC newcomer Belal Muhammad.Lewis (16-4) and Nelson (22-13) traded big shots and fought through several slow periods. Nelson developed a gruesome welt on his ample belly after absorbing a knee strike from Lewis in the first round, and Lewis appeared to dislodge a tooth from Nelsons mouth with a devastating right hand in the final seconds.Jouban (14-4) earned his fourth win in five fights with a punishing performance against Muhammad (9-1), who was still impressive in his UFC debut. Jouban floored Muhammad repeatedly with kicks and punches, but Muhammad hung on and even dominated the third round. ' ' '
