Coaches Poll top 25: Georgia, Michigan top college football rankings in Week 6
Another chaotic weekend on the gridiron brings about another shake-up in the top 25 college football rankings this week, although not so much at the top of the polls. Georgia needed a heroic second half from Brock Bowers to stay perfect against Auburn, while USC's defense very nearly spoiled Caleb Williams' historic 6 touchdown day with another sloppy defensive performance against Colorado on the road.
But with five teams in last week's poll losing over the weekend, there should be plenty of movement in the middle of the updated rankings.
