Week 5 of the 2025 college football season is loaded.
Saturday features four matchups between ranked teams and three of those four feature games involving top-five opponents.
The day started off with a bang too as No. 23 Illinois topped No. 21 USC on a last-second field goal and No. 16 Georgia Tech needed OT to beat Wake Forest.

In the afternoon window, No. 1 Ohio State flexed on Washington in an impressive defensive performance, but several other ranked teams are struggling.
Here’s how to watch college football this week. Follow all the action below (scroll for live updates).
No. 6 Oregon at No. 3 Penn State, 7:30 p.m. ET (NBC)
If the Ducks pull the (slight) upset, they’ll have a fantastic chance of going undefeated through the regular season for a second straight year. The Nittany Lions haven’t needed Drew Allar to be excellent yet, but they will on Saturday.
No. 17 Alabama at No. 5 Georgia, 7:30 (ABC)
Alabama’s Week 1 loss to Florida State took some luster off this matchup, but it also makes it even more critical. Georgia’s defense will want to avoid a second straight shootout after what Alabama did to the Bulldogs in 2024.
