Most of the attention will be on the SEC showdown between No. 1 Georgia and No. 4 Alabama during Week 5 of the college football season, and rightfully so. The Crimson Tide kept the Bulldogs out of the College Football Playoff last year, a lone blemish in the midst of a Georgia run of dominance that's now reached 42 regular-season wins in a row.
But there are 18 college football games involving top 25 teams during Week 5 , at least seven games with ranked teams in which the line is less than a touchdown and six games in which a ranked team is an underdog. There will be a ranked underdog in Georgia-Alabama , of course, and when No. 17 Louisville visits No. 14 Notre Dame. 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 full rundown of what you need to know about Saturday's college football odds for games involving top 25 teams:
