The second month of the college football season is underway, and it couldn’t have been a more exciting start. With three top-10 matchups taking place in week five, there was sure to be a good game or two, but the finishes were almost too good to be true. The slate of games was more action-packed than a single Saturday has been in a long time.

Just take a look at some of the finishes from the 3:30 PM EST games alone.

First, Michigan’s Jourdan Lewis picked off a pass with one hand as he was falling down to secure a win for the Wolverines over Wisconsin.

Soon after, North Carolina kicker Nick Weiler blasted a 54-yard field goal as time expired to all but eliminate Florida State from the playoffs and ACC title race.

Not to be outdone, Tennessee and Georgia had not one, but two deep touchdown passes in the final seconds of their SEC showdown. The Volunteers would go on to win after this Joshua Dobbs heave to the endzone landed in the hands of wide receiver Jauan Jennings as time expired.

What do all three plays have in common? They were all made by seniors who will be eligible for the 2017 NFL Draft. In addition to Lewis, Weiler and Dobbs, the following prospects all made an impact in week five.
