A seismic, top-five showdown in the SEC highlights a pivotal Week 5 slate of college football action.
The game of the weekend will take place in Tuscaloosa, as Jalen Milroe and No. 4 Alabama (3-0) host Carson Beck and No. 2 Georgia (3-0). The two powerhouse programs have combined to win nine of the last 10 SEC championships, and this matchup figures to shape this year's picture.
Three other ranked matchups highlight Saturday's slate.
In the Big Ten, No. 9 Penn State (3-0) welcomes in No. 19 Illinois (4-0), as the upstart Illini look to cement their case as legitimate contenders.
Elsewhere, No. 16 Notre Dame (3-1) hosts No. 15 Louisville (3-0), and No. 23 Kansas State (3-1) plays No. 20 Oklahoma State (3-1) in a pivotal Big 12 clash.
