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.

All due respect to South Florida, but the fact that Florida came into the game ranked as the 13th team in the nation, with Heisman praise surrounding their quarterback, exposes the over hype of this team. Forgetting that they have an incompetent head coach, an inexperienced roster, and happen to play in the Southeastern Conference.

The best defense in the SEC could once again be the LSU Tigers. Yes, there was once upon a time when Louisiana was the land of the most vicious defenses in all of college football, year after year, dating back to the 2000s through the 2010s.

There are other Group of Five competitors that are legitimate threats to take Boise State's place this year. There are five in mind that could get that one reserved spot in the playoffs this season.

Tacario Davis remains one of the top defenders in all of college football. Davis will resume his weekly missions of shutting down the best receivers in college football, no longer for the Arizona Wildcats, but for the Washington Huskies.

Banks' resume is as legit as it gets, and he's got a boatload of high-leverage snaps to his name in 35-plus career starts and counting.

The Volunteers' defense has a projected first-round draft pick of their own in the SEC's best edge rusher, James Pearce.

The Oregon Ducks are methodical, but they aren't invincible.

The biggest problem with Ohio State's offense is turnovers, and Indiana knows how to turn defense into offense.

The Badger will need to lean on their running backs more in the next couple of games.

The Ducks being Ranked #1 in FBS will be a test for Luke Fickell and the team.

The Boise State Junior has ranked first in the nation for rushing yards with 1,031 yards per carry with 10.9 and in rushing touchdowns...

The Ohio State Buckeyes and the Oregon Ducks remain undefeated but have played powder puff teams to this point.

After much hating from me and other fans, the Seminoles proved us all wrong by pulling out the win late Saturday night.

The declaration that Nebraska Cornhuskers football will be back will remain fool's gold for another week.

Someone didn’t send Head Coach Ryan Day the message that the upsets were on this week. Fans of the Scarlet and Gray must have...

This is not the week to look at upsets. The Buckeyes once again come into an early-season matchup heavily favored...

Will Howard already looks in command of the Buckeye offense. That is probably due to the fact that he has started nearly 30 games...
