Together, we display the top 50 RB performances from college football Week 5. It wasn’t easy, but it sure was fun to watch back all these performances. And without further delay, here are the top 50 RB college football performances from Week 5.
After watching every game, the Pro Football Network college and draft department took a vote. In conjunction with our release of the Week 5 National Team of the Week and our Players of the Week, every college football RB performance from this week was considered. Though defeat weighed heavily in some decisions, the player’s overall impact on their team’s success is what mattered most.

Additionally, the strength of competition, the time and situation of the performance, any opponent rivalry, and several other factors went into these selections.
