Four of the top contenders in the Big Ten are on the road facing stiff opposition this week (sorry, Indiana, you were left off the list this time), while America's erstwhile premier conference has their own sorting out to do down south.
Southern California Trojans @ Illinois Fighting Illini
Draper: Can Bert and Co. rebound from the absolute whooping they received last week? USC is an interesting team in that they MIGHT have something going in the City of Angels. I think it's a bit premature to plan on the ascendency of the Trojans yet based on the (lack of) competition, but there might be some juice. The Illini get to return home, but I don't know how to ignore what I saw last week. The lack of fundamental tackling was appalling. I'll keep the Trojans with the 0 in the loss column....for now. USC: 30--Ill: 20
Hoying: In case the whining from Los Angeles hasn't reached you yet, USC closed out the week 4 action in the wee Sunday hours and now gets the day kicked off at 9 AM Pacific this Saturday. That won't seriously impact prep time but it is a symptom of life in the Atlantic and Pacific Coast Conference. However, it will take more than body clock recalibrating to slow down the Trojan offense. USC hasn't looked this lethal since Matt Leinart was handing the ball off to Reggie Bush. Now, you can say, "What about the defense?" but I don't recall USC giving up 63 points to anyone this season. I expect the Illini to bounce back at home, especially against a porous Trojan defense, but USC is just too explosive to wind up with the low score here. USC: 31--Ill: 27
Schweinfurth: I actually got to watch the IU/Ill game last week. Man, Bert's defense was absolutely exposed. It wasn't just guys running wide open down the field, they were chasing ghosts. Not to say USC is a world beater this year, they aren't. But they have to be better than whatever corpse the Illini are rolling into this game with. USC: 35--Ill: 17
Seeberg: What a slate this week! Let’s dive in. Bert got massively exposed in Bloomington last week. This year’s Indiana will not be the Illini (might just be Indiana again). At any rate, you know Lincoln Riley is licking his chops to get at this suddenly porous Illinois D. To be fair, Luke Altmeyer and Co will likely score more than 10 against USC’s mid D, but I don’t see them hanging for four quarters against superior talent. Trojans pull away late. USC: 38—Ill: 27

Louisiana State Tigers @ Mississippi Rebels
Draper: This is a really interesting game. The national media continues to crown the Tigers based on their week 1 win over #4 Clemson. Sadly, the 1-3 Tigers are more kittens at this point. The win over UF was a good one, but a lot of that credit goes to Lagway giving them the rock FIVE times (and even then, they never pulled away). Ole Miss is going to be the first real test for the LSU defense. Kiffikins will keep up the pressure, but I can never tell if this is the week Ole Miss faceplants. I think it's early in the season, the offense is strong enough to bend the Tigers, and it's in The Grove. With that, I'll lean on the Rebs to pull out a big W and enter the playoff conversation. LSU: 24--Miss: 31
Hoying: Remember in week 1, when the SEC heads were scrambling on a team to crown after Texas stumbled, and they all coalesced around LSU after their "dominant" win over Clemson? You could say that may have been a bit of an overreaction, and you'd be right, but Kirk Herbstreit had LSU as his #1 team last week. Judging by how Miami jumped up to #2 last week, I suppose beating Florida is going to count as a quality win for about 10 different teams this year. What were we talking about again? Oh yes, overrated LSU. It's not like Ole Miss has been setting the world on fire either, struggling to put away mediocre Kentucky and Arkansas. But much like the matchup above, one of these teams is much more consistent on offense than the other, and you don't have to guess which team that is when Lane Kiffin is involved. Yes, the LSU defense has been successful, but their suffocating performance against Florida was largely turnover-driven. And as anyone who watched the 2006 Ohio State Buckeyes can tell you, turnover-driven defenses work until they don't. Ole Miss hasn't been particularly careful with the football, but they're generally so efficient with their drives that it doesn't really matter. I expect the Rebs to do enough to further dent the Heisman campaign of another disgraced preseason favorite, Garrett Nussmeier, and the home team to do enough to walk away with the W here. LSU: 24--Miss: 30
Schweinfurth: I have watched ZERO SEC football this year outside of Texas/Ohio State. What I do know is that LSU is a bit of a paper tiger waiting to be exposed. At some point it will happen. Why not this week. LSU: 20--Miss: 35
Seeberg: Ooof. Not a fan of this matchup of mid-SEC teams. Yeah, I said it. Ole Miss beat those SEC juggernauts Arkansas and Kentucky by a combined 13 points. Not to be outdone, LSU beat how-haven’t-they-been-fired-yet Dabo and Billy Napier by just 17 points total. I also trust neither of these coaches in big games. Neither has won anything of consequence, and Kiffin was the OC who inexplicably stopped giving Derrick Henry the ball in the Sugar Bowl (thanks, from Buckeye Nation). For LSU, in a year chock full of mediocre QB play around the country, Nussmeyer still hasn’t separated himself from the pack. In the end, I think the Rebels’ rushing attack (if Kiffin uses it) with Kewan Lacy may be able to control the clock and limit the Tigers’ possessions. Get ready for a top 8 Lane Kiffin squad. Ugh.

Oregon Ducks @ Pennsylvania State Nittany Lions
Draper: The marquee game is in Happy Valley this week and the Lions finally get their whiteout game against a good team. PSU is only 13-8 in whiteout games (which is a little low), but they've won the last 6 (although that includes 'juggernauts' of Minnesota, SMU in the playoff, Washington last year). Not surprisingly, the last loss was against the Buckeyes in 2018 (before the rising of Big Noon). However, I will note that that is a TOUGH environment to work through (see 2005). Both teams have steamrolled their competition, but that was expected with the garbage in the non-conference. This is a big test for Dante Moore and a (relatively) young Oregon team. They're used to the spotlight, but Happy Valley will be extremely difficult at night. The Lions have James Franklin and Drew Allar so they're not invincible, but the environment coupled with a decent night of game management from Allar will yield the first big PSU regular season win in the Franklin era since....2016 OSU on a blocked kick. Franklin will try to mess it up, but the Lions get it done. The all-in strategy still lives. UO: 24--PSU: 27
Hoying: The Buckeyes' opponent this week, though undefeated, is not only unranked, but didn't get a single vote in the AP poll. "Big deal", you say, "they haven't played anybody yet." Oh yeah? Check out this murderer's row of Oregon and Penn State's opponents: Montana State, Oklahoma State, Northwestern, Oregon State, Nevada, FIU, Villanova. These teams have a combined ONE win over another FBS team (FIU over FAU), and yet these teams are both ranked in the top 6. Granted, both of them have looked really good (well, Oregon has), and both of them were supposed to compete for a title this year (well, Penn State was), but this is first time either is facing anything resembling a real test. When these two teams faced off in Indianapolis last season, Penn State ran wild up and down the field, but Drew Allar was merely OK while Dillon Gabriel was surgical. Now, Drew Allar has a senior's experience but Dante Moore is no spring chicken, and despite all of the Penn State glazing in the offseason I'm sure the latter has a higher ceiling than the former. It's tough to play at your best in White Out conditions but at least the Ducks can count on Big Game James to do something stupid with the outcome on the line (Chase Young sends his regards). Either way, the winner will have Indiana to worry about later this season, but the Ducks move into the driver's seat to challenge Ohio State for the big time prize once again. Ore: 31--PSU: 30
Schweinfurth: Guys, Drew Allar is NOT good. There is no way a Penn State team with that QB play should be ranked this high. And James Franklin still coaches the Nittany Kitties. The White Out factor is real, but it won't make up the QB talent gap. OU: 31--PSU: 17
Seeberg: I absolutely refuse to dig into any top 10 matchup involving Penn State until Franklin wins one. Ducks dub. OU: 27—PSU: 17

Alabama Crimson Tide @ Georgia Bulldogs
Draper: Honestly, this game is the top game of the week nearly every year, but it is overshadowed a touch by the showdown in Happy Valley and Bama's perceived fall from grace. Regardless, Sanford Stadium will be rocking between the hedges and the Tide looks to reascend to the mountaintop. UGA remains the new standard of SEC excellence since the departure of Saban, but I think Kirby's perch is getting a tad shaky. Don't get me wrong: the Dawgs are a very good team, but I don't think the talent differential is that great between UGA and the rest of the SEC. The UT game exposed some flaws in that defense and Austin Peay kept it much closer than expected (Let's Go Peay!). Bama seems to be powering up after being embarrassed by my Noles in week 1. The bettors like Georgia, but I'm going to lean on the power rankings and pick the Tide to get a HUGE road win and temper some of the heat on Deboer. Ryan Williams and Ty Simpson will have a game and, once again, remind Kirby who the big dog is in the SEC. Bama: 27--UGA: 24
Hoying: Many elite coaches have that one team that, for whatever reason, they struggle to beat. Jim Tressel had Wisconsin, Urban Meyer had Michigan State, Ryan Day why are you wasting your time reading this, and Kirby Smart is eternally flummoxed by Alabama. The Tide may be foundering a bit in the Kalen DeBoer era, but they still found time to beat Georgia last year, and the Dawgs didn't look terribly impressive in stealing a win from Tennessee last week either. UGA was absolutely gashed through the air in Knoxville, and that doesn't bode well for facing the pass-happy Tide and the best receiver south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Who will step up to be the SEC's standard bearer this season? Bama: 34--UGA: 28
Schweinfurth: I don't think Bama is very good. Georgia is better, but not by much. Bama: 21--UGA 31
Seeberg: Well here we are again. Kirby’s nemesis. Though, to be fair, Bama ran college football with Saban at the helm. One has to think Smart’s 1-6 record against the Tide will improve now, right? Perhaps not. Bama has looked, well, like Bama since an opening week loss to a resurgent Seminole squad. Ty Simpson has been solid, with similar numbers to Gunnar. However, it’s the run game that may separate these two. UGA has 4 players with over 100 yards rushing this season and Bama isn’t even averaging 125 ypg. Between the hedges, I expect the Bulldogs to control the flow of the game and get Kirby his second W against the Tide. Bama: 20—UGA: 27

THE Ohio State University Buckeyes @ Washington Huskies
Draper: I'm a bit bearish on the Buckeyes this weekend. I do think we get the win (spoiler alert), but there are a few concerns. Husky Stadium is a tough place to play and the UW faithful really believe their team is a contender. Whether or not this is the case, the belief will ratchet up the pressure if the Buckeyes don't start hot. B1G eastern teams have struggled on the West Coast, but I don't know how much is simply homefield vs travel. The Husky offense is pretty darn good and will challenge the Buckeye secondary who showed a few gaps against Texas that Manning (thankfully) handed right into the ground. Finally, this is Sayin's first road start. Anyone's first start is tough, but a (redshirt) freshman on the road in a tough environment is a tall order. I'm hoping the offense can be methodical and matriculate the ball down the field will a couple haymakers to Smith and Tate (and maybe a little running game....please....more Bo?), and the defense can shut down the Huskies early. If we get into a hole early, it will be tough to get out. The good news? The Bucks are the more talented team by a healthy margin. Play your game, don't be dumb, and we'll escape the West Coast unscathed. OSU: 27--UW: 17
Hoying: As stated above, the Huskies are not ranked, not even receiving a single vote in the AP poll. This may be a product of having played Colorado State, Washington State, and Nobody FCS so far, but they've looked the part ever since being tied with CSU halfway through the third quarter of the opener. You'd think an undefeated team two years removed from the CFP National Championship Game would garner a bit more respect. But I just don't think the Huskies' early season pattern will hold against a team as talented and well coached as Ohio State. Washington has a very narrow path to victory, and it requires leaning hard on dual threat QB Demond Williams and his killer RB - WR combo of Jonah Coleman andDavid Denzel Boston. But gone are the bad old days of the Silver Bullets letting one pesky player win the game all on his own (looking at you, Rondale Moore and almost Anthony McFarland). Besides, on the other side of the ball, UW is dealing with multiple injuries, and they aren't that stout of a defensive unit to begin with. My only concern is in the red zone and short yardage situations. Last year was the first time in the modern Day era that I felt confident the Buckeyes could consistently gain a yard when they absolutely needed to, and while the jury is still out on this season, I haven't been impressed with the results so far. If that means making Lincoln Kienholz the red zone specialist, then by all means do it! Work some of that Chip Kelly magic and don't be afraid to make the QB a weapon in the run game as well. Although, if Julian Sayin and the standard Brian Hartline death squad continue to have the success with the deep ball that they've been having (and they should against this Washington defense), I'm not sure it will matter just yet. Buckeyes take the loud body blows in Seattle but come out no worse for the wear. OSU: 34--UW: 17
Schweinfurth: The Husky offense feels legit. It feels better than what we saw out of the Longhorns. They've punted twice! This is a step up in competition for Washington, but it is also the first road test for Sayin. He's looked good this year and is the most accurate passer in CFB. The Bucks can stretch the field, but they can also pound it. Washington NEEDS this game to be a shootout to say in it. I think the score reflects this, but the Bucks pull away late. Bo Jackson breaks another big one and JJ Smith keeps moving toward that Heisman. OSU: 35--UW: 24

Seeberg: Quite frankly, as much as I do think the Huskies are woefully underrated (east coast bias might be real), I’m sick of hearing about how great they are. All I’ve heard on every show and from every talking head is how great their offense is and what a test it will be. Fine, cool. Anyone notice the other half of the coin? The Washington D is middling at best, and they’re out a starting LB and potentially their number 2 corner. AND they play primarily man. AND Sayin is leading the nation in completion percentage. AND Jeremiah Smith is an alien. We will certainly get some stops, and I just don’t expect their defense to hang for four quarters. Bucks open it up and win going away. OSU: 38—UW: 20
