AP college football ballot, after Week 5

For about five seconds on Saturday, I thought about putting Georgia at No. 1. Then I remembered what Oklahoma did to Ohio State, and saw Clemson and Alabama play in the late games. This week’s “OK, I was wrong:” Yes, Washington State took advantage of an overrated USC,and at home, but we’re now at a point where 5-0 with a win against a very talented but flawed team means quite a bit. This week’s “Maybe I am on to something:” UCF. Memphis is pretty good, and the Knights clobbered them. What happens first, Scott Frost to Nebraska or Colorado State’s Mike Bobo to somewhere like Tennessee?
