Coaches Poll Prediction Week 6: How High Can Alabama, Ole Miss Climb?

The Coaches Poll is about to undergo several big changes going into Week 6.

No. 2 Penn State lost at home, but it was in overtime against last week's No. 5 Oregon - that's okay.

No. 3 Georgia lost at home, but it was late in a battle with No. 16 Alabama. That was sort of okay, but the win over Tennessee still stands.

So what will happen with Alabama, who lost to Florida State, who just lost to Virginia? How high can unbeaten Ole Miss move up after its fun and wild win over LSU?

Here's our prediction of what the Week 6 college football Coaches Poll Top 25 will be.
