There was quite a bit of turnover in week sixes rankings, which is not too surprising when 40% of the previous weeks’ constituents lose! Overall there are seven new entries and finally, the Group of Five Conferences are included. This is thanks to Cincinnati edging back in at 24 with a win over Tulsa. Not too sure how impressive that win was though and we would have put Washington State ahead of them.<\/p>\n

Top Ten Losers<\/h3>\n

Kentucky was the only team to lose last week and that was hardly a disgrace. They went down by three points to Ole Miss, who replace them jumping up to No. 9.<\/p>\n

Short Stay<\/h3>\n

Minnesota & Florida States’ stay was brief with both bowing out after losses. Minnesota had a bad loss to Purdue and we might not see them back any time soon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Welcome To The Rankings<\/h3>\n

Syracuse is 5-0 for the first time since 1987 and they were rewarded with the No 22 spot. They play Florida State next so these two might end up swapping places again.<\/p>\n

Hello Stranger<\/h3>\n
\"Kansas

Kansas edged past Iowa State and at 5-0 the voters could ignore them no more. The last time they were in the rankings was 2008 when they topped out at No. 13<\/a>. They face No 17 TCU this week so their stay might be short-lived, but whatever it’s nice to see them here again after all those years.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the week five rankings and expect some changes next week as there are five all-ranked games.<\/p>\n
