Upcoming Week 5 of College Football

Last weekend certainly had some excitement with 4 or so highly ranked teams losing and such. Will there be any upsets this weekend? I sure hope so. Luckily my Oklahoma State Cowboys won't have to worry about getting upset since we have the week off. The bye week comes at a good time for us since we had some key players out last week nursing some injuries. Hopefully we'll have Kendall Hunter and Dez Bryant back for the October 10th game against Texas A&M.

Looking at this weeks schedule there are only 3 games featuring two ranked teams. They are:

#4 LSU at #19 Georgia
#7 USC at #24 California
#8 Oklahoma at #17 Miami (FL)

All three of those have the potential to be pretty exciting. Georgia has been looking pretty solid the last few games after the first week loss to Oklahoma State. LSU on the other hand had some trouble putting away Mississippi State last week. So are they really deserving of being ranked 4th?

The USC - California game had some high hopes riding on it but both teams have now lost a game recently. USC losing a couple of weeks ago to Washington and California getting blown away by Oregon last week. So who is going to step up and take control of the Pac-10?

OU and Miami is another exciting match-up. Of course OU lost the first game against BYU but have rebounded nicely, especially considering they've been without Sam Bradford. He might be coming back for this game though so it should be interesting to see how that shoulder is doing. Miami was looking real good till they stumbled against Virginia Tech last week. Can they rebound?

Other games to keep an eye on are:

#22 Michigan at Michigan State - Can Michigan finally win a game outright or will they have to wait till the closing minutes to finally decide to do something?

#9 Ohio State at Indiana - Indiana should have come away with a win last week against Michigan.

#25 Georgia Tech at Mississippi State - Georgia Tech needs to decide which team is going to show up and MSU nearly came away with a big win against LSU last week.
