Believe it or not, but the college football season is already entering Week 6!

Preseason projections are long behind us as we now have a much better idea of how teams will look this season. The conference race is starting to heat up, and two games will play a big role in the divisional races moving forward.

The two games that will headline the weekend are Iowa’s trip to Michigan and Michigan State’s trip to Ohio State. Iowa will look to keep pace with undefeated Wisconsin while Michigan needs a win to avoid falling two games back in the B1G East.

Meanwhile, Michigan State needs a huge upset to keep pace in the East while Ohio State is looking to stay undefeated. The Buckeyes have looked dominant to start the year, but they will likely need to run the table to feel confident in their Playoff hopes.
