After a blazing hot start to this weekly column, we went 1-4 last week. There's a ton of value to be found in these games.
There should be plenty of animosity between the two. The Gamecocks stunned the Vols last season, and killed Tennessee's College Football Playoff hopes, with a 63-38 win. 24 Kansas are two of three undefeated teams left in the Big 12, but something has to give this weekend. 16 Washington State, and can hardly afford to start 0-2 in conference play if they want to stay in the race. The Beavers are coming off a loss against No.
19 Oregon State is trying to keep its Pac-12 hopes alive against No.
There are a few games in Week 5 that have major conference implications. Almost every team will have played at least one conference game by the end of the weekend and league play will define each team's success from here until rivalry weekend. Week 5 of the college football season means that conference play is in full swing.
