Week 5 of the college football schedule features a “Top Ten Throwdown,” with three matchups between teams in the top 10 of The Associated Press poll:

•No. 3 Louisville at No. 5 Clemson, 8 p.m. ET (ABC/WatchESPN)

•No. 4 Michigan vs. No. 8 Wisconsin, 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC/WatchESPN)

•No. 7 Stanford at No. 10 Washington, 9 p.m. ET (ESPN/WatchESPN)

This is the earliest in a season we have had three such matchups in one week, and this is the first time we’ve had such a week at any point in a season since 2002.
