After Last-Second Thrills, Ranked Foes Loom for Florida, Iowa and Mississippi State

Florida, Iowa and Mississippi State are guarding against a Week 5 hangover after each team’s recent top-10 win.

  • Week 5 arrives with high stakes as The Gators, The Hawkeyes, and Mississippi State face critical tests against ranked opponents, requiring these programs to navigate challenging matchups to maintain their standing in the polls.
  • Mississippi State visits Alabama for a showcase of sophomore quarterbacks, featuring the Bulldogs' Kamario Taylor and Crimson Tide's Keelon Russell, marking Alabama's first ranked opponent of the season as conference play intensifies.
  • The Hawkeyes host Ohio State, coming off a dramatic final-play win against Michigan, facing a significant challenge as The Buckeyes enter a difficult stretch with three of their next four games on the road.
  • Coach Jon Sumrall leads The Gators to Missouri, aiming to continue their resurgence in a series where the last three Florida-Missouri games were decided by a touchdown or less after a recent blowout victory.
  • In the Big 12, Cincinnati visits Arizona, where quarterback Noah Fifita aims to extend his career total of 84 touchdowns as The Wildcats seek to continue recovery after consecutive wins over Northern Illinois and Washington State.
