College Football Week 5: Four Top 6 Teams With Tough Matchups & An Early FSU Upset

College Football Week 5’s Must-Watch Battles

This weekend’s slate packs impact. These three matchups have playoff and conference implications written all over them:

• (4) LSU at (13) Ole Miss — A Clash of the titans in the SEC. Ole Miss is riding high at home, and LSU will have to bring elite defense plus stable QB play to steal one in Oxford.

• (6) Oregon at (3) Penn State — A conference heavyweight collision. Oregon’s high-flying offense tests Penn State’s strong defense in a Big Ten battle. The winner could vault into serious playoff contention.

• (17) Alabama at (5) Georgia — The storied rivalry reignited. Georgia wants to affirm national dominance; Alabama needs a signature win to stay relevant in the title chase after their early season loss.

Expect fast starts, tight second halves, and one or more statement performances that leave fans talking into the night.
