As we enter our week 5 preview, almost 1/3 of the season gone, there are still some teams that can make it to the championship on January 2017. Some are solid and some are not. There are going to be some clashes and determinant games this week also. The top 25 AP poll will definitively change a lot for week 6 as top teams will face each other.
College Football Week 5 Preview
Keep an eye on these games of our college football week 5 preview, as we foresee upsets:
#7 Stanford Cardinal vs #10 Washington Huskies
Stanford will face a true test on this game. They are actually a 2.5 underdog and we really foresee Washington blowing them up for more than 7 points. Stanford is one of those teams that are not really solid. Undefeated yes, solid no.
#8 Wisconsin Badgers vs #4 Michigan Wolverines
This is probably going to be the best game on Saturday. The Badgers are coming strong, and getting better every week. The Michigan Wolverines opened as 10-point favorites, and we know that will not happen. If they win it will be by less than that. The answer will be on the quarterback performance against the respective defense. We prognosticate the Badgers to take this one even with a freshman QB.
#22 Texas Longhorns vs Oklahoma State Cowboys
Yes I know, we love Texas, and they have proven they can score, and a lot. But their defense has been sloppy. Hope the bye week has helped them fix this. If not, they are heading towards one of them rivals who will have no mercy.
Bottom line, if Texas fixed their defense issues they will roll over OS. The Cowboys opened as three-point favorites, so linemakers are guessing they did not. This one we have to watch.
#18 Utah Utes vs California Golden Bears
The Golden Bears win over the Longhorns, plus their +40 points average on each game this year makes them quite a threat on this game. Yes Utah has been advancing but not tested really this year. Last week they barely won against the USC Trojans. We think this is where the buck stops for them.
