College Football Week 5 Preview

By Djack

Miami 14 VS Georgia Tech:
Miami is clearly the better team going into this game. They're better at almost every position on the field, but they do have to play this game on the road. Georgia Tech is 3-1 but those three wins came against some bad teams like Mercer, Boston College, and Vanderbilt. When Georgia Tech played a good team like Clemson their offense was shutdown so badly that their QB didn't even throw for over 30 yards, pretty pathetic. Miami has not been even close to tested so far this season, they've played FAU, Florida A&M, and Appalachian St. so this will be their first real challenge of the season. This game shouldn't even be a challenge for them since Georgia Tech isn't a good team whatsoever, I expect Miami to steam roll the Yellow Jackets, and win by the score of 35-17 as they get their first real win of the season.

Tennessee 11 VS Georgia 25:
Tennessee got off to a rough start this year struggling in their first few games to beat crap teams after they were supposed to be one of the best team's in the nation this year. Last week they got a huge win over Florida at home and showed the country that they were the real deal. Georgia on the other hand has struggled all season despite being ranked #25 in the country. They're yet to win a game by more than 10 points which should've been easy when your facing a team like Nichols University. They also got blown out by Ole Miss last week, they got embarrassed in front of the entire country 45-14, so they're going to be playing really hard in front of that home crowd today in Georgia. I think this game will definitley be a close one since neither of these teams have won by a wide margin this season. I got Tennessee picking up a big road win against the Georgia Bulldogs, I expect for Joshua Dobbs to have a big day as Tennessee wins 31-28 in a thriller.

Wisconsin 8 VS Michigan 4:
This might be the best matchup of the day, two Big Ten powerhouses going at it with huge playoff implications on the line. I think Wisconsin has stunned quite a few people this year, in all honesty I did not expect them to beat LSU or Michigan State, and what they did to Michigan State last week should strike some fear into the heart's of Michigan fans today. Wisconsin concerns me at the quarterback position, I think if anything that could be the downfall for them in this game so look out for how Alex Hornibrook plays. Michigan has looked great this year, they had a tiny scare against Colorado a few weeks ago, but they defused that quickly and ended up blowing them out. They haven't played any team with the caliber of talent Wisconsin has so this will be their first real test of the season. I think that's going to hurt them because Wisconsin has already played in two huge games with all the marbles on the line so I think Wisconsin will have an edge in that department. Wilton Speight has been one the best quarterbacks in college football so far this year so Wisconsin is definitley going to have their hands full on defense today. Michigan is an 11 point favorite which is just stupid to me especially after what we saw Wisconsin did to Michigan State last week tearing them limb from limb. Michigan is averaging 52ppg but they also haven't played a decent defense yet, Wisconsin only allows 11ppg so something is going to have to give. I think Michigan is in for a reality check today, Wisconsin wins 26-24 as they pick up back to back road wins over the state of Michigan.

Oklahoma VS TCU 21:
TCU lost a heart breaker in one of the best college football games I've seen in a long time against Arkansas a few weeks ago. They've bounced back nicely since taking care of business, and getting themselves back in the Top 25. Oklahoma on the other hand has lost every big game they've been in this year, and playing this one on the road isn't going to make it any easier. Are we going to see Bob Stoops get fired if he can't beat TCU today, man wouldn't that be a dumb decision by Oklahoma to do that, but I really think they will. I don't think it'll even come down to that today because Oklahoma is finally going to win a big game, it might be a little too late in terms of playoff hopes, but you still want to have respectable season so they'll be playing their asses off today. TCU when they lost that game to Arkansas proved to me that they just didn't have the juice to win against a big program like that in that type of big game. Oklahoma finally gets a big win as they take out #21 TCU 42-24. Baker Mayfield is going to have a field day as well.

Louisville 3 VS Clemson 5:
This is the must watch game of the week, probably the two most dynamic quarterbacks in the game will square off as they have a legendary ACC showdown. Louisville is coming off a huge victory over FSU where they actually murdered the entire organization in one 60 minute football game, I mean Louisville was able to do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted, it was insane. Clemson seems to look stronger every week, they had a slow start to the season, but now their defense is a force to be reckon with, and we all know with Deshaun Watson at quarterback how lethal this offense can be. Heisman front-runner Lamar Jackson is going to have his work cut out for him against this Clemson defense, but he's also scoring like 6 touchdowns a game by himself so I think it's Clemson that should be more worried about him. This game is going to be amazing, the two Heisman hopeful quarterbacks will face off in an ACC battle that will reflect greatly on their Heisman resume's. Winning big games like this and playing good in these big games is what a lot of Heisman voters look at, no one cares if you have 7 touchdowns against Northern Alaska, those games just don't matter they just make your stats look pretty. Clemson is the more complete football team so I believe they'll win this game, I really want Louisville to win because I like Lamar Jackson a lot, but I think their Cinderella story comes to an end tonight as Clemson shows why they're the true powerhouse of the ACC. 34-31 Clemson over Louisville, Deshaun Watson has his biggest game of the season, and Lamar Jackson starts to look somewhat human.
