Week 5 of the 2021 college football season brought some surprises that will impact the rest of the season and the college football playoff.

FOX Sports analyst RJ Young revealed his latest top 25 rankings going into this week:

Not surprisingly, Alabama and Georgia start the rankings at No. 1 and No. 2, followed by Iowa and Penn State at No. 3 and No. 4. Then the surprising rankings come in with BYU coming in at No. 5 and Cincinnati at No. 6 as the first two teams out of the top four.

Young has an undefeated Michigan team at No. 9 as well as an undefeated Michigan State team at No. 12. Finally, to round out the B1G, Young has Ohio State at #17.

Young has seven non-power five teams ranked in his top 25 rankings. The biggest thing is that he has the undefeated B1G teams before Ohio State as opposed to the AP Poll which has a one-loss Ohio State team ranked above an undefeated Michigan and Michigan State.
