Welcome back to CFB900, your fast-paced home for college football betting insights in 900 seconds or less. In this Week 6 preview and Week 5 recap, we break down the biggest games, sharp market moves, and best bets you need heading into a loaded slate.

We start with Oregon vs Penn State, where James Franklin and Drew Allar struggled in a tough home loss. Dante Moore showed maturity, both defensive lines dominated, and long-term concerns are mounting for Penn State.

Then we shift to Alabama vs Georgia, where Kalen DeBoer once again out-scripted Kirby Smart with another fast start. Ty Simpson continues to impress, but questions remain about the Tide’s running game and explosive plays allowed on defense.

The Heisman race is wide open with no clear frontrunner — Dante Moore is the default leader based on schedule and opportunity, but Carson Beck remains a strong contender to push for the top spot. We discuss the market uncertainty with over a dozen players sitting at 20/1 or shorter.

Other key takeaways:

• Texas A&M dominates Auburn despite a misleading box score.
• Arkansas fires Sam Pittman, Bobby Petrino takes over as interim HC.
• Indiana’s big win in the trenches shows toughness and grit.
• Colorado State’s collapse, Air Force defensive issues, and dead cat bounces from Virginia Tech, Kansas State, and UCLA.

We also dive into the betting market moves you need to know:

• Oregon State vs App State (odd cross-country non-con matchup)
• Air Force vs Navy (total movement)
• Cincinnati vs Iowa State (flip favorite)
• Texas vs Florida (DJ Lagway injury news and total drop)
• Miami vs Florida State (early two-way action)
• Vanderbilt vs Alabama (line short, Tide rating rising)
• UNLV vs Wyoming (Cowboys defense value)

Finally, we close with our Best Bets for Week 5:
