College Football Rankings, Week 5: Mizzou Missing From AP Poll, Again

Mizzou football can't crack the college football AP poll.

They're sitting in 23rd in the USA Today coaches poll but haven't yet appeared in the AP poll.

Eh, what do college football rankings mean anyway? Oh...yeah. They mean a lot.

College football is barely a month old and here's where the top 25 stands:

1. Alabama
2. Ohio State
3. Boise State
4. Oregon
5. TCU
6. Nebraska
7. Florida
8. Oklahoma
9. Stanford
10. Auburn
11. Wisconsin
12. LSU
13. Utah
14. Arizona
15. Arkansas
16. Miami (FL)
17. Iowa
18. USC
19. South Carolina
20. Michigan
21. Texas
22. Penn State
23. North Carolina State
24. Michigan State
25. Nevada

Next stop for Mizzou football will be Colorado on Oct. 9 for the start of conference play. Some tougher opponents and some tougher victories should land Mizzou in the top 25.
