Summary
Week 5 is absolutely loaded with monster games, and we're headed to Happy Valley for the Penn State-Oregon whiteout! In this college football podcast episode, we take another deep dive into the three biggest matchups of the weekend: Oregon at Penn State in what promises to be an electric atmosphere, Alabama traveling to Georgia in a crucial SEC showdown, and LSU heading to Oxford to face Ole Miss in another must-watch conference battle.
Beyond those headliners, we wonder if Ohio State might be in danger at Washington, whether USC can prove they're for real on the road at Illinois, if Notre Dame can stop Taylen Green, and if Auburn is trapped in perpetual limbo after another close loss. We also examine Indiana's statement opportunity at Iowa and dive into several intriguing home underdogs.
We also take a look at the latest news with Mike Gundy's sudden dismissal at Oklahoma State and John Mateer's thumb injury potentially sidelining Oklahoma's quarterback for up to a month.
Finally, we break down our Under the Radar Games worth watching, map out your optimal afternoon viewing quad for maximum entertainment, and identify the small window of opportunity to get errands done before the day's best action kicks off.
