Texas Tops Week 5 Rankings, Ohio State's Smith Leads Heisman Race
The Longhorns remain undefeated, while Notre Dame secured a closer-than-expected victory.
Texas maintained its position at No. 1 in The Post's Week 5 college football rankings, with quarterback Jeremiah Smith of Ohio State leading the Heisman Trophy race. The Longhorns, with a 4-0 record, are preparing for a matchup against a struggling Oklahoma team.
Ohio State, ranked second at 4-1, achieved a decisive 484-238 yardage advantage over Iowa, marking their third dominant win since their loss to Texas. The Buckeyes' next challenge is an away game against Indiana on October 17.
Notre Dame, at 5-0, secured a 37-26 victory over North Carolina. Despite the win, the Irish were noted for allowing the Tar Heels to remain competitive for three quarters.
Georgia, also undefeated at 5-0, is set for a highly anticipated game against Alabama. Both teams have yet to face a significant challenge this season, with their upcoming game at Bryant-Denny Stadium expected to be their first true test.
