Alabama has scored at least 45 points in each of its first five games, its first such start since 2018. Quarterback Keelon Russell leads the Crimson Tide offense under coach Kalen DeBoer.

Miami appears strong, though an assessment of its Week 5 form suggests the Hurricanes have not yet been truly challenged. Their schedule may leave questions about how good they are until they face Notre Dame in South Bend.

Elsewhere, Florida State beat Virginia 38-7. Wisconsin defeated Michigan State 31-3 to move to 4-1, while Baylor quarterback DJ Lagway delivered a strong performance against Arizona State.
