Games to Watch: Week 5

[jd77]

Wisconsin is struggling against Michigan State too.  They are clearly overrated, they keep barely beating awful teams.  If  Michigan State holds on to that lead then that is another team in front of us that will fall.

We may have a shot at the top 10 afterall.

I hope Rutgers wins today so our matchup could be a game of unbeaten, ranked BE teams on national TV.  With that being said, the RU/Maryland game also shows that we will be able to run the same type of smash mouth football against them as we did last night.

Dont forget about no 4 Oklahoma going down to the wire at Colorado

[Orlando Bull]

Colorado is at least going to have a shot at a kick for the win!!!

[WWMJD]

And Colorado pulls it off!!  Very good for us.

[WWMJD]

Oklahoma loses to Colorado, WVU loses to us, a few more top 10s in progress that could go the same way... all paving our way to a top 10 ranking baby

Go Bulls

---

3) Games involving Notre Dame because of its ties to Big East bowl games.

SAT 09/29 - Notre Dame 19 (0-5) at #26 Purdue 33 (5-0, 1-0)

NOTE: With the next three games for Notre Dame - at UCLA, vs Boston College, vs USC - chances are Notre Dame will not be bowl eligible.  Once Notre Dame is not eligible, we won't need to watch their games.

---

4) Games involving a team ranked higher than the 2nd highest Big East team.

If the highest and 2nd highest teams can move up and up the polls, then there is at least a chance that 2 Big East teams could make the 10 BCS slots.  Big East ranks: #5 West Virginia, #10 Rutgers

SAT 09/29 - #6 California (4-0, 1-0) at #11 Oregon (4-0, 1-0) - 3:30pm [ABC | GAMEPLAN]

SAT 09/29 - #28 Michigan State (4-0, 0-0) at #9 Wisconsin (4-0, 1-0) - 3:30pm

---

5) Games involving a Top 12 non-BCS team, or a Top 16 non-BCS team ranked higher than any BCS conference's highest ranked team.

If no teams from the non-BCS conferences make the BCS, then that would mean 4 at-large slots in the 5 BCS bowls.  This increases the chances for 2 Big East teams to be selected.

There are no non-BCS teams in the Top 16 of the AP poll.  Highest rated non-BCS team: #19 Hawaii

---

6) Other games of interest, including teams ranked near USF.
