Tennessee is now in the top five.
The Vols moved to No. 5 in the AP Top 25 after an easy win over previously-No. 15 Oklahoma on Saturday night. Oklahoma’s offense struggled against Tennessee’s defense as the game was a formality for much of the second half.
The Sooners dropped six spots to No. 21 after QB Jackson Arnold was replaced midway through the game by true freshman Michael Hawkins.
The top four teams ahead of Tennessee stayed the same as Texas, Georgia, Ohio State and Alabama still occupy the top four spots. The Bulldogs and Crimson Tide were off ahead of their Week 5 matchup. Texas beat Louisiana-Monroe in Arch Manning’s first start and Ohio State had an easy win over Marshall.
Missouri fell four spots from No. 7 to No. 11 after a double-overtime home win over Vanderbilt. After shutouts in its first two games of the season, the Tigers beat Boston College 27-21 in Week 3 and then needed a missed field goal to escape with a 30-27 win over the Commodores.
