Week 5 of the college football season saw two top 10 teams lose and another nearly get upset on the road against an unranked opponent.
The defending champion Georgia Bulldogs trailed Missouri for 56 minutes Saturday night before finally taking a late fourth-quarter lead and holding on for the win. The near-upset dropped Georgia from No. 1 to No. 2 in the new AP poll.
Alabama reclaimed the top spot with a convincing 23-point win against then-No. 21 ranked Arkansas.
