The Top 5 is dominated by the SEC after the first week of the college football season, with Alabama hanging on to the #1 spot and Georgia climbing up to #2. Texas A&M also comes in at #5.
Wisconsin will hope to get in the win column this Saturday against Eastern Michigan ahead of a big matchup against 8th-ranked Notre Dame, who beat Florida State in their first game of the year thanks to former Badgers quarterback Jack Coan.
