College Football Week 5: Missouri Destroys Florida, Alabama Looks Scary & New Ryan Field

Episode Description from the Publisher

College Football Week 5 gave us another reminder not to get too comfortable with anything we thought we knew in September. We start with Missouri’s emphatic win over Florida and what it means for both teams after a month of wildly shifting expectations. Then we get into Alabama’s dominant performance against Mississippi State, another ridiculous day from Keelon Russell, Ohio State handling Iowa, and Northwestern’s statement win over Penn State in the debut of its new stadium. From there, we run through the rest of a strange Saturday: Notre Dame finding something on the ground, Minnesota taking back the Little Brown Jug, Florida State showing signs of life, Wake Forest pouring it on, USC surviving Washington, Kentucky winning a thriller, and one of the strangest in-game coaching changes we can remember. Plus, Reverbs, Dude Alerts and the increasingly challenging task of putting together our AP Top 25 ballot after five weeks of college football.Support the show!: https://www.patreon.com/solidverbalSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
