There is no heavyweight fight this week, no highly anticipated fight that picks up where Alabama and Georgia left off.

But in a week with just one matchup between ranked teams (No. 9 Missouri and No. 25 Texas A&M), there are several intriguing storylines to follow.

Army and Navy are both 4-0 for the first time since 1945. Indiana is 5-0 for the first time since 1967. UNLV is 4-0 for the first time as a Division I program. Duke is 5-0 for the first time in 30 years.

And Rutgers is 4-0 for the first time as a member of the Big Ten.

Only a handful of coaches have successfully captured magic in separate stints with the same team. We’ve seen failures in New York with Red Holzman, Billy Martin, Bob Lemon and Ralph Houk. We recently saw it with Jon Gruden and Tony La Russa. College football has seen it with Bobby Petrino, Mack Brown and Randy Edsall.

Greg Schiano seemed doomed to follow the same path, stuck in one of the top two divisions in the country. He went 9-27 in his first five years in the Big Ten East.

But when conference expansion erased the divisions, Rutgers found its greatest gift since converting millions of area cable boxes into a Big Ten invite.

After a win over Virginia Tech and a home win over Washington – with the second-largest crowd in SHI Stadium history (54,079) – the Scarlet Knights are in position for their best season since Schiano’s first stint, thanks to a relatively soft schedule – with the exception of Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State, Michigan and Iowa.

One of Rutgers’ toughest tests comes at Nebraska, which suffered its lone loss in overtime against No. 24 Illinois.

In Blacksburg, the Scarlet Knights demonstrated their ability to thrive in a hostile environment. Against Washington, Rutgers showed the strength of a backfield that averages more than 200 yards per game, and a defense that ranks second in the nation in the red zone.

Rutgers’ running backs will succeed against a Nebraska front that has yet to experience a top-90 ground game. The defense will hold up against Cornhuskers freshman Dylan Raiola, whose offense ranks 104th in red zone offense.

Ride with Rutgers (+7).

UNLV (-6.5) over Syracuse

The major fallout from Matthew Sluka’s midseason departure overshadowed the reality that the ceiling has been raised in Vegas. Sluka, who had a 43.8 completion percentage, has been replaced by dual-threat Hajj-Malik Williams, who completed 13 of 16 passes for four total touchdowns and 119 rushing yards in a 59-14 win over Fresno State.

Michigan State (+24) over OREGON

The Ducks are undefeated but have been disappointing, failing to cover three of four spreads against inferior opponents. They will take their talents to another match as they look ahead to the visit of Ohio State next week.

UCLA (+28) over PENN STATE

The Bruins are ready, riding back-to-back covers against consecutive heavy favorites (LSU, Oregon). If you ignore Penn State’s game against Kent State – arguably the worst team in the country – the Nittany Lions are averaging less than 30 points per game.

Missouri (+2.5) over TEXAS A&M

The 12th man won’t help one of the SEC’s worst offenses against a top-12 defense. The Aggies, who are 1-4 favorites against the spread this season, have lost six straight games against ranked opponents.

GEORGIA (-24.5) over Auburn

The 12-team playoffs will give the Dawgs plenty of time to turn their season around. Expect back-to-back wins from the Bulldogs as they prepare for their Oct. 19 showdown in Texas.

Iowa (+19.5) over Ohio State

The under (44.5) is the play in a matchup of top-five defenses. Will Howard, who has thrown an interception in five of his past eight games, could struggle without the nation’s best backfield to lean on.

SOUTH CAROLINA (+9.5) over Ole Miss

Lane Kiffin’s playoff hopes may have evaporated with a 20-17 home loss to Kentucky. Three weeks earlier, the Gamecocks dominated the Wildcats 31-6 in Lexington. South Carolina – 2-0 against the spread as underdogs – is in line for a 28-point win. Thanks, math.

VANDERBILT (+23.5) over Alabama

It’s been two years since the Crimson Tide held the No. 1 ranking in the country. It’s also been two years since they lost first place after just a week. The highlight reel of the win over Georgia will only hurt Alabama’s focus on a historically overlooked opponent.

FLORIDA STATE (+14.5) over Clemson

The Tigers were better off without DJ Uiagalelei. The Seminoles will be too.

Tennessee (-13.5) over ARKANSAS

The Vols’ top-five defense got an extra week to pinpoint the weaknesses of the foul-prone Taylen Green, who has five interceptions and five fumbles in the past four games.

WASHINGTON (-2.5) over Michigan

The Wolverines have won back-to-back games despite being defeated in back-to-back wins for the first time since 2005. If Alex Orji averaged 54 yards passing in Ann Arbor, what will the owner of 37 career attempts do in his first road game? 2300 kilometers from home?

MINNESOTA (+8.5) over Usc

Expect a breakout game from Gophers running back Darius Taylor, who faces a run defense that ranks 101st in yards per carry allowed (5.0). The Trojans have gone 1-3 in their past four away games, covering just one of their last six away games.

Betting on college football?

Baylor (+11.5) over IOWA STATE

Matt Campbell’s defense makes the Cyclones a playoff contender. An offense that has scored 21 points in just one game this season will make that pursuit an endless sweat.

Miami (-10.5) over CALIFORNIA

Cam Ward, who led Washington State’s 50th-ranked offense last year, threw for 354 yards with four total touchdowns in Berkeley. This year, the Heisman Trophy candidate arrives with the nation’s top-ranked offense and will face the only team to lose to Florida State.

Best bets: Rutgers, Michigan State, South Carolina
Season: 40-35 (5-10)
2014-23: 1,272-1,206-30
