Ohio State's Smith sets record in win over Iowa, but Texas stays No. 1

Texas remains No. 1 in Yahoo's Week 5 college football rankings despite Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith setting a record with 206 receiving yards and two touchdowns in a 31-14 win over Iowa. The Longhorns hold top honors based on wins over Ohio State and Tennessee. Ohio State ranks second after Smith's historic performance, which included 11 catches and broke open a tight game. Miami, Alabama, and Notre Dame round out the top five, with Georgia, Tennessee, Utah, Indiana, and Ole Miss completing the list. The rankings reflect a season marked by parity across college football, driven by NIL deals and transfer portal changes. Notable results included Pitt's comeback win over Virginia Tech, Northwestern's upset of Penn State, and Minnesota's first home win over Michigan since the 1970s.
