Miami is our new No. 1 team in the country after taking down Florida, 26-7. The Hurricanes’ defensive line was dominant against the Gators’ strong offensive line, posting a 90.7 pass-rush grade and a 93.1% pass-rush win rate. Miami has a bye week before a massive game against eighth-ranked Florida State.
2. Ohio State Buckeyes (3-0, Previous: 1st)
Week 5 Matchup: at Washington Huskies
Ohio State enjoyed its bye week and opens Big Ten play this weekend in its first road game against an undefeated Washington squad.

4. Oklahoma Sooners (4-0, Previous: 12th)
Week 5 Matchup: Bye
Oklahoma moves into the top five after beating No. 22 Auburn 24-17. The Sooners sacked former Oklahoma quarterback Jackson Arnold 10 times in the win, a new program record.

The Ducks travel to Happy Valley to take on Penn State in the biggest game of Week 5.
8. Penn State Nittany Lions (3-0, Previous: 6th)
