College Football Week 5 recap LIVE hits the biggest results with Oregon vs Penn State, USC vs Illinois, Ohio State vs Washington, LSU vs Ole Miss, Alabama vs Georgia, Auburn vs Texas A&M, Tennessee vs Mississippi State, Notre Dame vs Arkansas, Indiana vs Iowa, —real CFB Playoff implications across the SEC football, Big Ten football, Big 12, and ACC. George Wrighster breaks down what mattered: QB execution on money downs, defenses that traveled, and the coaching decisions that flipped outcomes in the fourth quarter and OT.
We start with the Big Ten, Oregon football at Penn State football: statement road win and a White Out breaker for the Ducks—Dante Moore’s composure, while James Franklin’s 4–21 vs AP Top-10 re-lights the narrative pressure in State College. Ohio State football leaned on speed and defense to mute Washington huskies—1-for-11 on third down allowed, rushing bottled—and yet the Buckeyes’ offense still feels governed even with Jeremiah Smith flashing.
USC football at Illinois football turned into a shootout: Lincoln Riley had Jayden Maiava dealing to Makai Lemon (monster night) but Bret Bielema’s Illini refused to die—special teams, short fields, and third-and-long conversions kept it claustrophobic. Indiana hoosiers vs Iowa Hawkeyes was portfolio football.
In the SEC: LSU football at Ole Miss exposed the Tigers’ offensive issues while Trinidad Chambliss kept stacking wins for the Rebels; Alabama football at Georgia bulldogs football snapped the Dawgs’ mega home streak—Ty Simpson accounted for three TDs, Kalen DeBoer’s Tide owned third down (12-of-19), and Georgia’s defense looked un-Georgia-like tackling in space. Auburn Tigers at Texas A&M showcased Aggies’ defense and Le’Veon Moss while penalties kept it closer than it had to be. Tennessee Vols vs Mississippi State football was cardiac ball—Heupel’s explosives returned, pass rush slammed the door in OT. Fast break: Notre Dame football detonated Arkansas (56–13) in a get-right showcase for CJ Carr and a defense that finally pinned ears back.
