ESPN updates CFB power rankings after Week 5: Any big changes?

After it seemed that Michigan football was just going through the motions, the Wolverines broke out and annihilated an opponent thoroughly and convincingly. That same week, Week 5, Georgia — the No. 1 team in the nation — limped to a win over unranked Auburn.

Would ESPN take notice in its latest power rankings?

While the Wolverines moved up to No. 1 in the SP+ rankings, they’ve languished in ESPN FPI. But they’ve remained No. 2 in the polls and No. 2 in ESPN’s power rankings. The worldwide leader updated their power rankings on Sunday morning, and there were certainly some changes. Here is the full new top 25.
