Alabama-Mississippi State headlines Week 5 weekend
The matchup in Starkville could become one of Week 5’s most entertaining games, with both Alabama and Mississippi State bringing undefeated records into the night.
Ohio State ’s visit to Iowa should provide an entirely different test, with the Buckeyes facing a road environment that will host College GameDay for only the third time in Iowa program history.
With Florida-Missouri, Miami-Clemson, BYU-TCU and Washington-USC also on the schedule, Week 5 gives college football fans meaningful games from the opening Friday kickoffs through the final game in Hawaii.
