With such an important weekend approaching, let’s look at the best college football spread bets to target for Week 5 (betting favorites in parentheses).

Some of the teams we think are the best in the country haven't truly been tested yet — cough, Ohio State, cough — but we're definitely learning a lot about teams that should be in contention for College Football Playoff come December.
