From darkhorse BCS challenger to SEC West doormat…that didn’t take long. Arkansas is clearly not having the season they expected and it is amazing to think they have just 1 victory in 5 tries on the season.
It is hard to gauge just how good this Utah State team really is. The reality is that they are just a few points away from a perfect record that could have included a victory over Wisconsin at Madison.
The USC Trojans had extremely high aspirations this year, but their loss at Stanford a couple weeks ago really hurt their chances of being a player on the national level.
USC is still a very good team, but they haven’t played up to the level many expected they would.
The Wildcats are one of two teams in the Big Ten still with a perfect record. Only one of those wins was in conference but they have an excellent chance to keep the momentum going against a Penn State team in the middle of a roller coaster of a season.
The Arizona Wildcats and the Stanford Cardinal both began their seasons with high-profile victories. Arizona took down No. 18 Oklahoma State, while the Cardinal defeated No. 2 USC. Many believed just two weeks ago that these two squads could challenge the leaders in their respective divisions, but following recent disappointments, each team is looking to bounce back in their week six matchup.
When the Nebraska Cornhuskers went into Wisconsin last season, they suffered a 48-7 loss against the then-ranked seventh team in the nation. This year’s Badgers have been good—not great—but the biggest question heading into week five’s matchup has to be, will starting running back Monte Ball be in or out?
The Arizona Wildcats are coming off their only loss of the season, but it was one that just might stick with the team for quite some time. With the No. 18 Oregon State Beavers coming to town, each team has something to prove in week five.
The Oregon Ducks are traveling away from Autzen Stadium for the first time this season, but with the game against the Washington State Cougars being played in Seattle—not Pullman—the crowd should look far more neutral than Mike Leach would like.
The Boise State Broncos squeaked out a 7-6 win last Thursday night over BYU. Boise State clearly isn’t the same powerhouse team they were the last couple years, but they are still a formidable team.
The Big Ten has been the laughing stock of college football so far this year. Game after game in the non-conference schedule the Big Ten was humiliated by smaller conferences.
Both Miami and NC State are off to good 3-1 starts and while the Hurricanes have already won 2 conference games this is the first ACC game for the Wolfpack.
Both Baylor and West Virginia have yet to lose and this game should be a barnburner, as each has a passing offense that ranks in the top 5 in the nation.
Minnesota is off to a solid 4-0 start and while they have a decent offense and a solid defense they have not played any legitimate teams so far on the season.
Georgia is off to a great 4-0 start and they are already 2-0 in SEC play. Now they host a Tennessee team that has a solid offense and a Heisman candidate under center.
The Cardinals (4-0) are off to a great start and they already beat Kentucky from the SEC and North Carolina from the ACC.
Texas is back? A 3-0 start is good but not much was learned from playing the likes of Wyoming, New Mexico and Ole Miss.
