Week 5 College Football Picks!

Well, we are already to week five! We are starting to get into some really big in conference games. Arguably, the biggest game of this week comes out of the Big Ten. So let's take a look!

#8Nebraska @ #7Wisconsin - Two hard nosed football teams clash in Madison. This could easily be a preview of the Big Ten Championship. With great running games on both sides, it could be a great shootout for the ages. Look for Wisconsin to come up big on defense and take care of Martinez, the Nebraska QB. After the dust settles, I see the boys from Wisconsin winning 36-31.

SMU @ #20TCU - A nice little Texas match-up here. TCU has been having a very shaky year. They haven't really had a game where the other team hasn't given them a scare. This will continue for the Horned Frogs as SMU gives them trouble early. Good QB play will save the Frogs in the second half as they win 41-21.

MSU @ OSU - This is another great match-up for the Big Ten. Though it is a bit lack luster due to both teams falling out of the top 25, it will still be an incredibly good game. Cousin's is key to the Spartan's success. He will need to be almost flawless at the Horse Shoe. The Buck's defense will make sure that doesn't happen. They will cause turn overs and possibly a score. The Bucks win 24-21.

#13Clemson @ #11Virginia Tech - Possibly the ACC match-up of the year! The Tigers will be riding high after beating Auburn, but Coach Beamer has his team looking better than ever! I am almost certain that the Hokies from Virginia Tech will win this game. They out match Clemson in speed and they have home field. The Tigers won't make it easy, but the Hokies will win 28-17.

#3 Alabama @ #12 Florida - This is a big road test for the Tide because Florida looks like it's old self and poised for a National Championship! Don't doubt the tide though. They will play good enough to get some quality scores. The Alabama defense will be a bit weak, allowing Brantley to his game will throw the ball with confidence. This game will come down to the wire, but I see the Tide squeaking by Florida for the 24-21 win.

And there you have it! Remember,I  will be tweeting during the CMU game and be sure to look for my NFL picks later today! Thanks for reading!
