As the college football season hits Week 5, the separation process has begun in earnest and a handful of key matchups this week will continue that work.

At the top of that list is a key Big Ten showdown with No. 5 Ohio State traveling to face No. 14 Iowa, which is coming off a big win at Michigan. The Buckeyes already have a loss on their resume thanks to Texas and will try to avoid dropping to 3-2 in a tough environment. 

The SEC slate features a pair of ranked unbeatens facing off as No. 16 Mississippi State hosts No. 7 Alabama, while No. 8 Florida also will look to stay perfect as it travels to No. 25 Missouri. 

Other unbeaten teams facing potentially tricky road trips include No. 3 Notre Dame at North Carolina, No. 10 BYU at TCU, No. 4 Miami at Clemson and No. 12 Texas Tech at Colorado. 

It should be a weekend full of action. Here’s when and where to watch every game.
