Not a lot has changed over the first four weeks of the 2024 college football season. Of the top 12 teams in the preseason AP poll, nine remain unbeaten, two have lost once -- Michigan lost to Texas, the current No. 1 team, and Notre Dame fell to Northern Illinois in the only truly earth-shattering upset of the season -- and only one, preseason No. 10 Florida State, now 1-3, has genuinely disappointed. We've been greatly entertained, but the big picture hasn't really been altered much.
In Week 5, however, the rubber meets the road. We've got four ranked-versus-ranked games and plenty to keep up with, but the conversation starts with the biggest game of the season to date.
