It was a pretty dull week of college football in week 5; the only thing that we can really gleam from last week is that UCLA was just screwing with us all year, and that they're a real Pac-12 threat. Yes, Arizona State's defense is almost completely new. But a good offense is supposed to put up 62 points on a bad defense, and the Bruins did just that. October 11th in Pasadena looms large.
Let's see what a lackluster week did to the QuackPoll:
| Rank | Team | Points | Change |
| 1 | Oregon (5) | 220 | 0 |
| 2 | Oklahoma (2) | 214 | +1 |
| 3 | Florida State (2) | 207 | -1 |
| 4 | Alabama | 192 | +1 |
| 5 | Auburn | 185 | +2 |
| 6 | Texas A&M | 181 | -2 |
| 7 | Baylor | 174 | -1 |
| 8 | Mississippi State | 162 | 0 |
| 9 | Michigan State | 147 | +2 |
| 10 | UCLA | 139 | +7 |
| 11 | Notre Dame | 138 | -1 |
| 12 | Ole Miss | 132 | -3 |
| 13 | Stanford | 103 | +2 |
| 14 | BYU | 99 | +2 |
| 15 | Georgia | 97 | -2 |
| 16 | LSU | 79 | +2 |
| 17 | USC | 71 | +7 |
| 18 | Wisconsin | 64 | +3 |
| 19 | East Carolina | 62 | +1 |
| 20 | Nebraska | 56 | +3 |
| 21 | Oklahoma State | 47 | +8 |
| 22 | Kansas State | 34 | +5 |
| 23 | Ohio State | 32 | +5 |
| 24 | Arizona | 20 | +2 |
| 25 | Marshall | 19 | 0 |
Also receiving votes: Arizona State (13), Missouri (13), TCU (13), South Carolina (6), Maryland (2), Colorado State (1)
Dropped out: Arizona State, South Carolina, Utah, Duke

Lotta small shuffling going on everywhere. The Ducks pick up three first-place votes, perhaps because we're another week removed from the Washington State game. The big shift is Oklahoma moving ahead of Florida State, after the Seminoles struggled with NC State, as they are wont to do. Also, Texas A&M's OT win over Arkansas knocked the Aggies down two spots, and out of the hypothetical QuackPoll playoff. Speaking of, Oregon-Alabama and Oklahoma-FSU would be two glorious semifinal games. We can only hope that the final four looks that good in December.
Drunk this week: Sean G. and Ryan, for putting Michigan State, whose best win is over Wyoming, over undefeated teams like Ole Miss, Mississippi State, BYU, and Nebraska. I think the Spartans are plenty good, sure. But what have they proven yet, other than they can beat awful teams and couldn't hang with Oregon?
Lazy this week: Chris Jones, who in week 6 becomes the first person to take a week off voting. I'm sure he's off somewhere in Zihuataneo, taking some old boat and fixing it up new.
Sheep this week: Sean Larson takes back the Sheep title with a strong showing, nailing the AP top 7, save for the Oregon bias that puts them ahead of FSU.
