With Week 4 of the college football season now in the rearview mirror we’re starting to solidify our thoughts on exactly how good each team is or might be compared to one another as we get ready to finish off September and begin October, though the picture is far from settled, as a mix of byes, dominant wins, and looming matchups promises to reshape perceptions heading into the heart of conference play. Several undefeated programs, including Ohio State and Penn State, took advantage of the schedule to rest and regroup, while Miami and Oklahoma continued to assert themselves with authoritative victories that reinforced their status as national contenders. Indiana’s explosive rout of Illinois and Texas Tech’s road demolition of Utah have also thrust formerly overlooked teams into the spotlight, proving that early-season momentum can swing quickly, and at the same time, programs like Oregon and Penn State, as well as Alabama and Georgia, are all preparing for two of the most consequential clashes of the season in Athens and Happy Valley, with the Tide aiming to rebound from early setbacks and the Bulldogs, Ducks, and Nittany Lions all looking to maintain their perfect starts to the year. As wek prepare for Week 5, every matchup carries implications not just for rankings, but for the College Football Playoff picture, setting the stage for a weekend loaded with meaningful stakes and storylines, so with another big weekend ahead, let’s take a more rapid-fire look at each team:
