"Week 5 of the college football season has been circled for a while. Mainly because of dueling headline games between two ranked opponents, both of which are rematches from big games from 2024. In one, the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs host the No. 17 Alabama Crimson Tide. The Tide put up big numbers in beating Georgia last season, but opened this season with a big loss to the Florida State Seminoles."
"In the other, the No. 6 Oregon Ducks travel to face the No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions. They met in last season's Big Ten title game with the Ducks coming out on top and earning the top seed in the College Football Playoff. While neither has been really challenged this season, this game will help set the hierarchy in the Big Ten and CFP race."
Week 5 features two headline rematches between ranked opponents. No. 5 Georgia hosts No. 17 Alabama, a rematch of last season when Alabama put up big numbers in beating Georgia, though Alabama opened this season with a heavy loss to Florida State. No. 6 Oregon travels to No. 3 Penn State, a rematch of the previous season's Big Ten title game that Oregon won to earn the top College Football Playoff seed. Neither Oregon nor Penn State has been seriously challenged so far this season. Both games carry significant implications for conference hierarchy and the College Football Playoff race.
