On Sunday, the Football Writers Association of American and the National Football Foundation released their weekly Super 16 poll. Just like last week, the B1G was well-represented in the rankings.

Four teams from the conference were ranked in Sunday’s poll, all in the top-12. Here is how the rankings shook out after Week 5 of the college football season:

  1. Alabama
  2. Ohio State
  3. Clemson
  4. Michigan
  5. Houston
  6. Washington
  7. Louisville
  8. Texas A&M
  9. Tennessee
  10. Miami (FL)
  11. Wisconsin
  12. Nebraska
  13. Baylor
  14. Stanford
  15. Ole Miss
  16. Arkansas

Ohio State and Michigan are in the same spots they were a week ago while Nebraska jumped up three spots. Wisconsin, the lone conference team to drop, fell from No. 8 to No. 11.

After five weeks of the season, it’s a pretty good sign that the B1G controls one-third of the FWAA-NFF’s top-12 rankings.
