Welcome to Week 5 of College Football! Festivities will kick off on Thursday night with a double-header featuring Kansas/Texas Tech and UConn/No. 6 Houston. Not the best, I know, but just remember that we’ll be treated to three Top 10 matchups come Saturday!
Lovie Smith and the Illinois Fighting Illini (1-2) will be in Lincoln, NE to face the No. 15 Nebraska Cornhuskers (4-0). Mike Riley’s squad is coming off a 24-13 win over Northwestern. The Orange and Blue, meanwhile, have an extra seven days of preparation under their belts thanks to a BYE week.
Here are some other highlights from the Week 5 schedule
- No. 7 Stanford @ No. 10 Washington
- No. 22 Texas @ Oklahoma State
- No. 8 Wisconsin @ No. 4 Michigan
- No. 11 Tennessee @ No. 25 Georgia
- No. 9 Texas A&M @ South Carolina
- North Carolina @ No. 12 Florida State
- Arizona @ UCLA
ESPN’s College Gameday will be in South Carolina on Saturday for huge Top 5 matchup between No. 3 Louisville and No. 5 Clemson. The winner of this game will have an early inside track to the College Football Playoff, so look for Heisman Trophy candidates Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson to have big days.
