Can highly-ranked teams avoid upsets, especially on the road? That's the big question as we enter Week 5 of the college football season. On Saturday afternoon, No. 5 Ohio State visits No. 14 Iowa for a critical Big Ten matchup.
The last time these two teams played in Iowa City, the Hawkeyes stomped the Buckeyes en route to a 55-24 victory. If Iowa is going to pull off another stunner, it might not come that easily because Ohio State superstar Jeremiah Smith is on pace for an 1,800-yard season as he builds a Heisman Trophy case. Down in Starkville, the cowbells will be deafening when No. 7 Alabama takes on No. 16 Mississippi State.
That game should have some fireworks because it features two elite young quarterbacks in Keelon Russell and Kamario Taylor. Can the Bulldogs continue their surprising start or will the Crimson Tide roll to a 5-0 record? Elsewhere, No. 8 Florida goes on the road to face No. 25 Missouri in a tricky spot, and Washington takes on No. 18 USC as both teams need a win in the worst way.
