2023 Week 5 Game Results
2023 Week 5 Game Results
This week had some upsets but no one in the Top 10 fell. Notably, 11 Utah, 15 Duke, 18 LSU, and 20 Kansas lost their match-ups. Of those, only 11 Utah and 18 LSU were favored to win. Florida was the only team ranked in the AP Poll but unranked on /c/CFB who lost their game, although they were not favored to win anyways.
As for our Top 10 teams, 1 Texas, 2 Michigan, 6 Penn State, 8 Oregon, and 10 Oklahoma all dominated their opponents. 5 Washington and 9 USC won by one touchdown each, but these games were not as close as the final scores indicate and neither team had less than a 94% chance to win in the entire fourth quarter (according to ESPN). 7 Georgia was tied with less than three minutes to go in the fourth quarter before scoring the game-winning touchdown against Auburn. 3 Florida State and 4 Ohio State did not play this week.
