The biggest college football matchups for Week 5 are predicted, and Hurricane Ian’s effects might change how many games are played this week due to the rainy and muddy weather. Keep an eye on Saturday night’s top-10 battle between Clemson and NC State, as the storm is predicted to pass over South Carolina during the game.
Given the Tigers’ loss to the Wolfpack last year and the anticipated close game this weekend at Memorial Stadium, we’re putting the Tigers on upset alert.
Second-ranked Alabama travels to Arkansas and will try and capture its 15th consecutive win in the SEC West series. Another crucial SEC matchup between the unbeaten teams Kentucky and Ole Miss will take place in Oxford in Week 5.

Why is this spread just 10.5 points since Lowa hasn’t scored a touchdown in its previous 10 quarters versus Michigan and lost by 39 the last time these two teams played? Given that Michigan hasn’t triumphed at Kinnick Stadium in more than a decade, oddsmakers are giving the Hawkeyes much too much credit.
