Top 5 is a relative question. You have to consider that any of the nine officials you see on any given Monday night on ESPN would have to be considered. Or the six who are on TV on Tuesday. The assignors always send their best to games making National TV.

Blindzebra74, can you tell us what you mean by best? I'm not trying to be funny but when talking about who is on TV all the time versus who is a great official someone I've seen posted sticks out like a sore thumb. Here is my list based on what I consider great officiating between the lines.
Scott Thornley - very passionate about the game Dave Libbey - expert on the 3-man mechanics, will call anything anytime Ted Valentine - will call anything anytime Donnee Gray - rock solid Cofer/Luckie/Rose/Hess/Clinton/Jones - I'm biased but these guys are all about getting it right and doing the best job possible

it is regional as well
You know this discussion could go on for ever. Part of the discussion will center around regional bias, if you see guys work a lot, unless they screw up pretty badly they will be in your top 5. BITS and I watch Mountain West ball because that is where we are from, as well as other conferences. We both mention Dave Hall and Randy McCall, neither of these guys has made anyone elses top 5 and they have both worked national championship games in the last 5 years. McCall worked the big game last year, if you get that game I would think you could be considered for most anyone's top 5.
