What's next for every AP top 25 college football team in Week 6

The latest AP top 25 college football rankings are live coming out of an active weekend of hugely consequential games and, as expected, there was plenty of movement around the top of the poll after four of last week’s top 10 teams all lost.
Georgia, LSU, Penn State, and Florida State all lost over the weekend, resulting in a major shift in what the top half of the Week 6 rankings look like, and going part of the way in sorting out what teams could emerge as genuine postseason contenders going forward.
