Who is the favorite for the big games on Saturday?

play

Most of the attention will be on the SEC showdown between No. 1 Georgia and No. 4 Alabama in Week 5 of the college football season, and rightly so. The Crimson Tide kept the Bulldogs out of the College Football Playoff last year, a lone blemish amid a streak of dominance by Georgia, which has now reached 42 straight regular-season wins.

But there are 18 college football games in Week 5 involving the top 25 teams, at least seven games involving ranked teams where the line is less than a touchdown, and six games where a ranked team is an underdog. Of course, there will be an underdog in Georgia-Alabama, and when No. 17 Louisville visits No. 14 Notre Dame. The same goes for No. 21 Illinois at No. 8 Penn State and No. 20 Oklahoma State at No. 25 Kansas State. No. 18 Oklahoma (at Auburn) and No. 22 BYU (at Baylor) are also in dangerous spots.

Here’s a complete breakdown of what you need to know about Saturday’s college football odds for games involving the top 25 teams:
