Notably, a huge top 15 matchup amongst Pac-12 schools (UCLA vs Arizona State) kicks off the action this Thursday. The winner will bolster themselves to at least get in range of the top four slots. Both the Bruins and Sun Devils are in dire need to get a huge victory and some national attention.
Elsewhere, most of the top 25 teams will be playing at home, and some will be wrapping up non-conference play. Outside of the Pac-12 spotlight game, Florida State (1), Baylor (7), Notre Dame (8), and Stanford (16) are the only four ranked teams playing away from home. Texas A&M (6) will be playing in Arlington. Iowa State will be one of those unranked teams hosting a top 25 team this Saturday.
Here’s the full slate for Week 5 of college football. All games on Saturday unless noted. Big 12 games listed first with AP top 25 games following.
