Top Picks For Week 5 College Football

Thanks for listening to Guys at the Bar Talking Sports. The HQ for College Football fans. Your Taylor Swift Free Podcast. Hopefully! #10 Utah at #19 Oregon State- Utah is unbeaten while Oregon State lost to Washington State last week. That tells me everything I need to know about this game really. Utah has been doing fine without Cameron Rising. Whether he plays or not, Utah will win this game. #8 USC at Colorado- Colorado was exposed last week for what everyone already knew, but did not have the balls to say. Their Defense is weak, and their pass protection is none existent, while their running game is in rear 0 for the season. This is a team that had the hype, and that put them into the top 25. They are gone now, and after this week will not return till next year. #22 Florida at Kentucky- to me Florida going to face unbeaten Kentucky is gonna be a tough road game. We saw brilliance from Graham Mertz against Tennessee, and the running game seems to be getting some traction. Defense right now, is number 1 in the SEC and number 5 in the country…. You heard that right, even vs Georgia who has only played cupcakes to this point. This game defines the Gators second half of the season. Kentucky is good, and they’ll be at home. Devon Leary at Kentucky seems to be doing well, he’s a senior with experience. He was a starter at NC State for 4 years, so he has taken a lot of snaps. He has thrown 5 interceptions in 4 games, which has me concerned about his decision making. Key to this game for the gators, get into Leary’s head early pound him. Stop the run, and on offense, have a balanced game, and capitalize when you are in the end zone. #1 Georgia at Auburn- Chopper has been calling this upset since August. After last week, I don’t think I believe him. 56 passing yards against Texas A&M last week. The defense at Georgia will be much tougher. Georgia has struggled the first half of every game. It’s a constant theme for the Bulldogs, even last season. Auburn better take advantage of that and score early and often. If they do that, I believe they have the defensive fortitude to pull out the upset. But last week made me lose hope. #24 Kansas at #3 Texas- the only two unbeaten teams in the top 25 playing against each other this week. Kansas is my dark horse, BYU last week was a good test to see if they are good, because BYU is not a team. But they are no Texas. Texas’s offense will be able to run rough shot over the Kansas Defense is my prediction. Does Jalon Daniels have it in him to get into a shoot out? This game will come down to that. Texas gets 2-3 stops when needed, and wins this game. #13 LSU at #20 Ole Miss- I really thought Ole Miss had a chance last week, but Alabama showed me what’s up. On the other hand LSU struggled against the razorbacks last week. So this game is likely to be the best fight of the week. Both teams are capable offensively, but need a little work defensively. Jaydon Daniels at LSU is an accurate,He is confident under pressure, and that leadership wins this game for LSU. Ole Miss, this is not your year. #11 Notre Dame at #17 Duke- will Duke lose 2 weeks in a row? Can they shut down a Duke offense that is putting up some of its best numbers in years? Can dukes defense hold up to a very comfortable veteran QB in Sam Hartman? Last week Ohio State seemed to shut him down, but Dukes defense does not compare to the tough OSU defense. I think Notre Dame ends up victories, and takes another team off the unbeaten board. South Carolina at #21 Tennessee- Spencer rattler is completely capable to take this game to Knoxville and win it. Tennessee struggle against Florida. I think this game will be much closer than the Florida game, both teams will be able to score on each other just because the Carolina defense is not as strong as they would like to be. Tennessee does have a good quality running game, as long as they can lean on that and get those big plays Joe Milton can do when accurate.
