Miami is No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25<\/a> for the first time since 2002, No. 2 BYU has its highest ranking since its 1984 national championship season and Notre Dame and Georgia stayed in the top five Sunday after both lost close games.<\/p>\n

The wildest and wackiest week of the college football season so far saw five of the top seven teams lose \u2014 a first in the AP poll’s 90-year history. Miami and BYU were the biggest beneficiaries of the chaos and were joined by Ohio State in a tightly bunched top three.<\/p>\n
