The fourth weekend of college football saw some ranked-on-ranked matchups that lived up to the hype. Friday night, Illinois outlasted Nebraska to remain undefeated and get an in-conference win in overtime. On Saturday, USC saw their first Big Ten action against Michigan in a game that, from this point forward, will be known as the LASkin Bowl. USC came up a little short as they could not contain Michigan’s run game. In a late matchup, Tennessee overwhelmed an Oklahoma team that did not appear ready for their first SEC matchup.
The big showdown in Week Five of the college football season is Georgia visiting Alabama in a Top-5 matchup that will feature a host of NFL prospects.
