How can it be?

How can we be talking about Week 5 of the college football season already?  Well…we are.  The season is taking shape a bit and this week and next week will help decide what direction things will really be going as we head to late fall.

At this writing I am sitting here watching the Giants and my favorite player, Eli Manning, play well against the Washington Redskins.  I must say I am not a great fan of Thursday Night NFL Football.  I am old school.

High Schools on Friday.  College on Saturday.  Pro on Sunday.  And Monday Night Football.  That was when football was the most fun for me.

Now to Eli…don’t throw any more passes to Rashad Jennings…and Eli thinks he has a touchdown…but the refs disagree.  I think Eli may be right after watching the replay.

On to Week 5 College Football Picks:

Maryland will beat Indiana:  The Hoosiers are at home and though they beat Mizzou in the Show Me State, as I picked them to do so, they still are due to lay an egg in the Big 14 opener.

Iowa will beat Purdue:  I still have faith that the Hawkeyes will finish well.

Kentucky will beat Vandy:  They will try to lose it…but someone will hold on for the Cats.

Georgia will beat Tennessee:  Todd Gurley may run for 300 yards.

Duke will beat Miami:  The Dukies go to 5 wins and 0 losses and they are fun to watch.

Ole Miss will beat Memphis:  Though they are looking to Bama next week…the Rebs will handle Memphis and enjoy the short ride home to Oxford as they study the Tide by bus light.

Louisville beat Wake Forest:  The Deacons will be glad to get back home after this tail whipping.

Texas A& M beats Arkansas:  This will be very entertaining.  Offense and offense and some more offense.

Notre Dame will beat Syracuse

Cincinnati will beat Ohio State:  Upset of the week.  The Riverboat Gambler, Tuberville, is ready to pull this off.  Ohio State fans will have injuries to blame.

Enjoy the games.

While you are at it….speak the rights.
