Florida's flop, Alabama lead college football Week 5 winners and losers

There was good and bad in Week 5 of the college football season. We break down the winners and losers starting with Florida's flop at Missouri.

Florida's flop, Alabama lead college football Week 5 winners and losers

Florida has experienced the SEC roller coaster this week, jumping from unranked to No. 8 after a win against Mississippi, only to tumble back down after losing to Missouri. The Gators struggled with both defense and offense, as Missouri quarterback Austin Simmons had a strong game and Jamal Roberts rushed for 211 yards. Florida's offense seems to perform best when they control the tempo of the game, but they still have a long way to go to make a real impact in the playoff picture. They will face South Carolina next, followed by Texas and Georgia.
