Summary
College Football week 5 predictions are here as we’ve entered game week for Alabama vs UGA and Oregon vs Penn State. Will Kalen DeBoer be able to take the Tide into Athens and beat Kirby Smart? What about Dan Lanning looking for a big win over James Franklin in whiteout conditions? LSU vs Ole Miss and Auburn vs Texas A&M are some other big matchups in the SEC. The week 5 edition of the JP Poll is out as we take a look at big movements in the top ten. Where are Ohio State and Michigan? Does Clemson fall out of the top 25? Could Miami take the top spot? What’s next for head coaches like Billy Napier and Mike Gundy as the hot seat conversation continues to churn? All that plus best bets on the Ramen Noodle Express.
