Michigan State moved up to No. 5 in The Associated Press college football poll and Wake Forest became a top-10 team on Sunday for the first time in school history.

Georgia is a unanimous No. 1 for the fourth straight week in the AP Top 25. Cincinnati remained at No. 2, but Alabama jumped ahead of Oklahoma to No. 3, with the Sooners landing at No. 4.

Star running back Kenneth Walker and the Spartans jumped three spots by beating Michigan in the weekend's biggest game. The last time Michigan State broke into the top five was 2015, when the Spartans eventually made the College Football Playoff.

The first CFP selection committee rankings of the season will be released Tuesday night.

In the AP poll, Ohio State slipped a spot to No. 6 despite holding off Penn State, and Oregon was No. 7.

Notre Dame, Michigan and Wake Forest rounded out the top 10.
