There are a lot of intriguing games around the country this weekend. The SEC has a handful of interesting games lead by Alabama vs Mississippi State. I want to pick MSU so bad at home, but I think Alabama will edge them out.

Miami vs Clemson is very interesting to me. It's crazy seeing the Hurricanes being favored by more than 2 touchdowns over the Tigers. What a difference a few years make!

I'm really looking forward to this Penn State/ Northwestern game. I'm thinking the Wildcats may come out if this one victorious. Either way, I'm expecting a single digit victory.

I overlooked the VT/Pitt game. A pair of undefeated teams and neither is ranked? Obviously not the right patch on their jerseys. What the hell do voters have against ACC teams? It really is ridiculous.

Here is an injury report for week 5.

Nice little nugget, schmolik! I wouldn't be surprised if either team wins, but Northwestern wants nothing more than a victory on opening night of their new stadium.

How's Penn State doTHEY'RE ****!! THEY'RE ****!!!

I'll give NLC five thousand dollars for every in-person Penn State class this year's starting QB has ever attended. Oh thank God, its zero.

Hey everyone, ask me what I think of the start of the Campbell era.

Oh this season's bad for Penn State. Illinois's going to be better.

(Checks schedule) Oh good, we have Purdue, Rutgers, and Maryland! That'll get us to 6-6! We can still go to a bowl game! Duke's Mayo Bowl here we come!

Congratulations to Northwestern and their fans! That is a cool new stadium!

I seriously believe Matt Campbell will do amazing things at Penn State. I think year 2 of the Campbell era will be really good.

Is Underwood holding Michigan back? Coaches, play calling? A bit of both?

Congratulations to the Golden Gophers and their fans!

Not attempting to take anything away from our Gophers friends. Well done.

The offensive coaching has been abysmal. Play calling, oline play, blocking schemes. Vultures are already circling the OC.

Did I say six wins for Penn State? Hey, maybe we have a chance for seven!

Yeah, in basketball.

I retract that statement.

At least Illinois has a basketball team. How do you lose to PURDUE at home?

Since we can't all be winners; here is a list of week 5 losers.

Penn State: did you enjoy Brand new Ryan Field?
Washington: maybe next year
Maryland: horrible team
Iowa: I still like this team
Michigan State: ugly loss
Rutgers: horrible team
Michigan: Ouch!
Illinois: I'm still scratching my head over this one.
