We have got some monster games this weekend! I would argue the Week 5 games rival those from the much hyped Week 2 games. Let's hope these games live up to that hype, because if you remember the Week 2 games turned into a bunch of duds.

For the rest of the year we'll be tracking how our picks are doing here at All About Sports. Last week wasn't great, but not bad as we went 7-4.
Last Week 7-4
Overall 7-4
We'll update the TV listings as they come out.
Thursday 9/30
Texas A&M (3-0) at Oklahoma St. (3-0) 7:30 PM ESPN
Two 3-0 teams going at it on a Thursday night. The Cowboys are averaging 57 points a game. That will be too much for the Aggies.
All About Sports Prediction: Oklahoma St. 33 Texas A&M 24
Saturday 10/2
#16 Miami (2-1) at Clemson (2-1) 12:00 PM ESPN2
I'll be at this game, and it should be a great one. Clemson expects a sellout crowd as the winner gets a leg up in the ACC race. Miami's Jacory Harris has struggled on the road in big games.
All About Sports Prediction: Clemson 24 Miami 20
Florida St. (3-1) at Virginia (2-1) 12:00 PM Raycom
Both teams have a lot to prove in this one. Virginia looks improved and could really turn some heads with a win. Florida State could pick up a big ACC road game.
All About Sports Prediction: Florida State 27 Virginia 21
Navy (2-1) at Air Force (3-1) 2:30 PM Versus
Who doesn't like a game between the service academies? Air Force really pushed Oklahoma recently but Navy has been the service academy standard the last few years.
All About Sports Prediction: Air Force 31 Navy 27
Virginia Tech (2-2) at #23 NC State (5-0) ABC Regional 3:30 PM
Could NC State really start the season 5-0? If you haven't seen their quarterback Russell Wilson play do yourself a favor and tune into this one. The Hokies are righting the ship after an 0-2 start.
All About Sports Prediction: NC State 31 Virginia Tech 23
Tennessee (2-2) at #12 LSU (4-0) 3:30 PM CBS
I can't believe Tennessee has fallen to the point where beating UAB puts their crowd into a frenzy. LSU can't seem to play to their apparent talent level. If they do this could get ugly.
All About Sports Prediction: LSU 34 Tennessee 17
#11 Wisconsin (4-0) at #24 Michigan St. (4-0) ABC Regional 3:30 PM
Wisconsin has just quietly gone along winning games and staying undefeated. Michigan St has the play of the year with their fake FG against Notre Dame a couple of weeks ago. I like the Badgers to control the tempo of this one with their RB John Clay.
All About Sports Prediction: Wisconsin 24 Michigan St. 16
#21 Texas (3-1) vs #8 Oklahoma (4-0) ABC Regional 3:30 PM
What the heck happened to Texas last week in their 34-12 loss to UCLA? Oklahoma is undefeated but hasn't looked very impressive outside of their blowout of Florida State. Texas played horrible against the Bruins and it will have a hangover.
All About Sports Prediction: Oklahoma 30 Texas 20
#7 Florida (4-0) at #1 Alabama (4-0) CBS 8:00 PM CBS
This is the Miami/Florida State of the 21st century. Two of the best coaches in college football Urban Meyer and Nick Saban, rabid fanbases, and top 10 rankings. What else can you ask for? Alabama proved they weren't going anywhere coming back at Arkansas in championship form.
All About Sports Prediction: Alabama 24 Florida 23
Notre Dame (1-3) at Boston College (2-1) 8:00 PM ABC Regional
Take a look at the 8 PM games. One of these games is not like the others. How is this game in prime time and Miami\Clemson, or Texas\Oklahoma not? Team that didn't score last week (BC) vs Team with 1 win (Notre Dame). Well it should be close anyways.
All About Sports Prediction: Boston College 17 Notre Dame 13
#9 Stanford (4-0) at #4 Oregon (4-0) 8:00 ESPN
Oh man this could be a SHOOOOOOT OUT! You don't have two more explosive offenses in the country. With Alabama and Florida on one channel and this one the other go ahead and use that Picture in Picture. Duck fans will have Autzen Stadium rocking.
All About Sports Prediction: Oregon 41 Stanford 37
