Florida Gators Now the HUNTED? Big Ten and SEC Parity is REAL, Week 5 UPSET ALERT!| TNR 9/29/26

🔥 COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEK 5 IS HERE — and after another chaotic weekend, the target is getting bigger for some of the hottest teams in America. We’re going LIVE with our Week 5 UPSET ALERT, identifying the teams and matchups that could be headed for trouble as conference play heats up and the College Football Playoff picture begins to take shape. 🐊 FLORIDA & COLLEGE FOOTBALL’S NEW HUNTED TEAMS The Florida Gators have exploded to No. 8 in the AP Top 25 after a dominant 52-28 win over Ole Miss, and Jon Sumrall’s team suddenly finds itself going from hunter to hunted. Florida isn’t alone. BYU, Mississippi State, Oklahoma State, UCLA and Kentucky have all forced their way into the national conversation. Which of these surprise contenders is built to stay there — and which one is most vulnerable now that every opponent sees them coming? 🏆 OUR TOP 4 HEISMAN TROPHY CANDIDATES September is almost over, which means it’s time to seriously examine the 2026 Heisman Trophy race. We reveal and debate our current Top Four as players including Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith, Miami QB Darian Mensah, Mississippi State QB Kamario Taylor and several other breakout stars reshape the race. 🎬 THE NICK SABAN DOCUMENTARY — ARE YOU ALL IN? ESPN’s new six-part original docuseries “Saban” premieres October 8 and promises unprecedented access to the career of seven-time national championship coach Nick Saban, including never-before-seen footage from his legendary Alabama run. Is this appointment television for college football fans — or have we already heard enough about the Saban era? 📊 IS COLLEGE FOOTBALL PARITY FINALLY HERE? The SEC and Big Ten are loaded with ranked teams, but we’re also seeing traditional powers challenged, new contenders emerge and fewer Saturdays that feel predictable. Is college football experiencing legitimate parity, or are we just watching an unusually chaotic September? 🐻 CASE KEENUM’S MONDAY NIGHT MOMENT What a story in Chicago.

Keenum threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns and added a rushing score in his first NFL start since 2023.
