For the second week in a row and throughout this season so far, the SEC has reminded spectators and experts that it is college football's best conference once again. It is easy to say, through a crystal ball, that besides the conference champion.

Then, there's Penn State's season officially going nowhere after a third straight loss, a season-ending injury to their quarterback, and the firing of their head coach, James Franklin. The rankings aren't done being shifted around, as college football tends to get stranger by the week. Old playoff contenders are re-emerging while new ones are appearing out of sight.

Penn State and Texas are both unranked for the first time in about three years, following their shocking losses last Saturday. Another traditional football power was expected to collapse like the Egyptians, but instead regained power in the Southeastern Conference.

Week five of college football presented a lot of dogfights and upset-destined matches. The expectations were exceeded for this weekend's slot of games. The Heisman race is suddenly having new contestants, and clear favorites for conference titles are emerging. The freshman quarterback in college football isn't who you think he is.
