We’re in for another entertaining Saturday of college football as we stay focused on conference play.
There are three ranked versus ranked showdowns on the day, as well as some tricky road spots for other ranked teams that could upset some of the best teams in the country.
Caleb Williams and No. 8 USC survived a Colorado upset after dominating most of the game. The defending Heisman Trophy champion threw for over 400 yards and six touchdowns, but had to sweat the win as the Trojans’ defense gave up 27 points in the second half.
Kentucky’s Ray Davis had a career day as he rushed for 280 yards and three touchdowns in the Wildcats’ upset win over No. 22 Florida. No. 3 Texas had no trouble dealing with Kansas despite a lucky bounce by the Jayhawks, and No. 1 Georgia survived a road panic at Auburn.
Here’s what else we’ll see in Week 5 (scroll for live updates).
Time: 6 p.m. | TV: ESPN | Line: LSU -2.5 | Total: 66.5
The Tigers started the season with hype for the national title, but their play has been inconsistent so far. LSU was crushed in the second half of its season opener against Florida State but has won three straight since. The offense has been productive, but the defense is still struggling badly – especially in the secondary. Does Ole Miss have the talent to exploit LSU’s weaknesses? On paper it seems so, but on offense the Rebels didn’t look quite right. How will Lane Kiffin’s team respond at home after last week’s uninspiring performance against Alabama?
Time: 7:30 p.m. | TV: ABC | Line: ND -5.5 | Overall: 52.5
Notre Dame is coming off a brutal last-second loss to Ohio State. It had to be incredibly depressing for Marcus Freeman’s program, and now the Irish have to face an undefeated Duke team on the road. Notre Dame has improved significantly with Sam Hartman at QB, but will this team be able to bounce back after such a crushing loss? For Duke, this is the program’s biggest game in years and the first time the school has hosted ESPN’s “College GameDay” for football. Will coach Mike Elko and the Blue Devils be ready for the moment?
