**Top 25 Coaches Poll Sees Significant Shakeup After Thrilling Week 5**

The fifth week of the 2024 college football season brought a wave of excitement and dramatic upsets, causing substantial movement among the top teams in the Coaches Poll. Among the notable changes, Georgia's defeat at the hands of Alabama led to a reshuffling of the top five rankings.

Alabama's 41-34 victory over Georgia not only boosted the Crimson Tide to the No. 2 spot but also paved the way for Texas to claim the top position. Texas secured this advance with a decisive 35-13 win against Mississippi State in what marked their inaugural SEC game, improving their record to 5-0.

Meanwhile, Ole Miss experienced one of the steepest declines, dropping six places to No. 11 after a surprising home loss to Kentucky, a team seen as the underdog with double-digit odds. This defeat for the Rebels comes despite Kentucky's tough start to SEC play, having previously lost to South Carolina and Georgia.

Another notable upset occurred with Utah, missing their quarterback Cameron Rising for a third consecutive week, falling to Arizona in a rare home loss. Such upsets allowed Missouri to climb to No. 9 and Michigan to reach No. 10. Michigan rebounded impressively from their earlier loss to Texas, securing wins against No. 15 USC and Minnesota.

As the Coaches Poll top 25 adjusts to these recent developments, anticipation grows for the upcoming matches that continue to shape the college football landscape.
