LSU head coach Brian Kelly and Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin shake hands after a college football game between Ole Miss and LSU at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Miss., on Saturday, Sept. 27, 2025. Ole Miss defeated LSU 24-19.

Week 5 of the 2025 college football season certainly lived up to the hype.

In a Saturday slate full of big-time matchups, we saw quite a few wild finishes as the best games of the day were all one-possession contests. In the headlining matchup, Penn State erased a 17-3 fourth-quarter deficit against Oregon to force overtime but ultimately fell on a Drew Allar pick in double overtime.

Meanwhile, in Athens, Georgia never led at home against Alabama, losing in close, 24-21 fashion as the Bulldogs suffered their first home loss since 2019. In Oxford, Lane Kiffin beat a top-five team for the second time as the Rebels took down LSU.

Unsurprisingly, there's been a lot of shakeup in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll. Oregon moved up to No. 2 while the Nittany Lions dropped No. 6. Ole Miss also entered the top five at No. 4.

More surprisingly, the Bulldogs remained in the top 10 and stayed one spot ahead of the No. 11 Crimson Tide, despite the head-to-head result. The Florida State team that beat the Tide in Week 1 proved to be the biggest faller of the week after its double overtime loss to Virginia on Friday night.

Here's the full coaches poll after Week 5.
