After an incredible week of college football, we move ahead to Week 5. What are some under the radar games to watch this weekend?

Last weekend was as good as you could’ve asked for as a college football fan. High profile games like FSU at Clemson, Ohio State at Notre Dame, and Oregon State at Washington State (yes, that is high profile) delivered on the hype with plenty of excitement.

And even the games that didn’t get much attention had exciting finishes, specifically Wyoming’s stunning win over App State, a game I mentioned in last week’s under the radar games piece.

The Week 5 slate doesn’t have the same headliners, but we’ve still got some good matchups. We get a top-20 battle on Friday night with Utah traveling to Oregon State. LSU and Ole Miss could provide fireworks. Duke has a chance for one of their biggest wins in school history hosting Notre Dame with College Gameday in Durham for the first time ever. And don’t rule out the Jayhawks giving Texas a fight.

Even without a top-to-bottom loaded slate of games, there are a handful of games flying under the radar that could end up being exciting watches for college football fans. Going into the weekend, what are the under the radar college football games to watch?
