Top 25 Weekend Predictions

Moving into week 5, going to give my predictions for the top 25 teams in the AP [Assuming they are playing this week].

#3 Alabama 33, Kentucky 10
Yeah, this game is going to be a blow out. We saw what Florida did to Kentucky, It's only right to assume that Bama is going to do the same thing. The only reason I'm giving Kentucky some points is hopefully they will be motivated after being embarrassed by Florida.

#4 LSU 13, #18 Georgia 24 - Game of the Week
Big upset in the SEC is going to come out of this game. LSU has looked shaky, and there are still questions about the offense. Georgia is 9-1 versus SEC West opponents during the past four seasons and 20-5 overall against that division. Look for Georgia to take control of this game.

#5 Boise State 38 , UC Davis 6
This game is going to be a Boise State scoring fest. Boise State looks to continue through the season unbeaten.

#6 Virgina Tech 34, Duke 7
Duke has no chance of winning this game. Stick with the basketball.

#7 USC 17, #24 California 21
USC came off of a huge upset and responded by... not winning by much at all. I still feel that USC looks a little too shaky at the QB position. Add that too the injury to their star RB Johnson, they are in for a rough time visiting Cal, who are coming off a blowout loss and looking to climb back up the ranks.

#8 Oklahoma 35, #18 Miami(FL) 14
This game almost earned my honors of game of the week, and it for sure would have had Miami not played like they did last weekend. They aren't going to recover from that game while playing Oklahoma, especially if Bradford comes back. Let's not forget that his back up just threw for 6 TDs as well.

#9 Ohio State 27, Indiana 16
Ohio State should win this game. Will they shut out Indiana like they did Toledo and Illinois? No. Indiana had every chance in the world to knock off a ranked Michigan last weekend but they just didn't close it out. Look to Ohio State to win the game, but not win big.

#10 Cincinnati 51, Miami(OH) 10
Cincinnati's high powered-high scoring offense is going to score early and often when they run (or pass) all over Miami. This may be Ohio's oldest college football rivalry, but this game will be over in no time at all.

#11 TCU 38, Southern Methodist 14
TCU has won this match-up nine out of the last 10 times. Look for a big game from them to help keep their BCS hopes alive after a close win at Clemson last week.

#12 Houston 49, UTEP 7
Houston needs to make a statement. Texas ran up the score and stat-padded Colt McCoy in this game. Case Keenum should just go ahead and do the same. Ok that's not the smart thing to do, but they need to show they have the same fire power as Texas in this conference game.

#13 Iowa 18, Arkansas State 3
This should be an easy win for Iowa helping them to a 5-0 start along with a lead in the Big Ten. Look for a relatively low scoring game, with some great defensive stands from Iowa.

#15 Penn State 31, Illinois 12
Penn State is going to be looking for revenge after an embarrassing loss at home to Iowa. 9-1 after losing a game, this is almost a sure win for Penn State considering how bad Illinois has been playing for far this season.

#16 Oregon 38, Washington State 7
Oregon showed the world that the Boise State game was just an off day for Oregon. They came back and shocked #6 Cal with a lopsided 42 - 3 victory. They will win this game and win big.

#20 BYU 27, Utah State 0
BYU's early fame in the season clearly got to them and more then likely their BCS hopes are gone for good. They still need to play big and Utah State isn't exactly a hard opponent. BYU has a high chance of posting the shut out in this one.

#21 Mississippi 18, Vanderbilt 15
This is a great battle in the SEC. Vanderbilt had a decent showing in the SEC last year and Mississippi is coming off of a hard loss. I think Vanderbilt will show up big at this game a play surprising well against Mississippi, but not good enough for the win.

#22 Michigan 24, Michigan State 21
After taking a look at the ESPN Accuscore projections, Michigan State is favored in this game. Michigan didn't look great against Indiana at home, but they did pull out the win. Look for Michigan to win this game, but not by much at all.

#25 Georgia Tech 28, Mississippi State 14
Georgia Tech is 3-0 against Mississippi State. They are going to make it 4 - 0 this weekend. Hopefully Mississippi State will put up a decent fight but I'm not thinking it will happen.
