Week 5 Reaction: Oregon Beats PSU, Bama Tops UGA, FSU Goes Down | Just Another CFB Podcast

Week 5 delivered fireworks across the college football landscape, and we’re here with a full reaction on Just Another College Football Podcast. From Eugene to Athens, the playoff picture is already shifting.

We start with the heavyweight Oregon–Penn State showdown at Beaver Stadium. The Ducks outlasted the Nittany Lions in a statement win that could define their playoff push. What did Dan Lanning’s squad prove, and how will Penn State recover after letting this one slip?

Then, the SEC’s monster clash: Alabama tops Georgia in a rivalry that never disappoints. Nick Saban’s replacement continues to show Bama’s blueprint works, while Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs face their first true test of 2025. Did this game expose cracks, or is it just one battle in a longer war?

In Oxford, Ole Miss beat LSU in a thriller, giving the Rebels a crucial win for SEC West control. With the Rebels riding high, what does this loss mean for LSU’s ceiling?

And don’t overlook Bloomington: Illinois escaped USC in dramatic fashion. Could this be the momentum swing that cements Illinois as a Big Ten dark horse, and does USC’s loss mark the beginning of a longer struggle?

We’ll break down the implications, highlight key players, and explain how this wild weekend reshapes the race to the College Football Playoff. Subscribe on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify to stay locked in — this season is already unforgettable. 🏈🔥
