COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEK 5
Filed in archive SPORTS STUFF by jim on September 22, 2006

Last Saturday was referred to as "Separation Saturday," and indeed some teams did separate themselves from the pack.
Could tomorrow be comeback day for some teams?
Michigan beat Norte Dame, in South Bend, which really didn't surprise me since I felt that N.D. was a bit over rated, but I didn't expect them to be annihilated.
Oregon was awarded a win over Oklahoma. I say that because IMHO, Oklahoma was the victim of two bad calls, which were upheld by the instant replay official. The teams were fairly evenly matched but it became apparent that Oregon couldn't really stay with the Sooners in the 4th quarter.
Unfortunately the 12th man, in the replay booth, put Oregon over the top.
I don't offer picks but it's usually bad news for a team to play a team that got royally screwed or severely beaten.
That doesn't bode well for Oklahoma's next opponent, Middle Tennessee.
Sometimes too, a team that's coming off a big emotional victory can suffer a letdown. Could that mean that 3-0 Wisconsin has a shot at knocking off 3-0 Michigan in this classic Big 10 match up?
Keep in mind that's it's tough for anyone to beat Michigan at home.
Interestingly N.D. takes on 3-0, but unranked Michigan State, a long time foe, at East Lansing
.State beat N.D. last year, but their 3 victories this season were against lesser opponents, so I'm thinking that this is too important a game for N.D. to lose. On the other hand Michigan State could propel itself into the rankings with a win this weekend so they could be sky high.
My prediction: It will be a big scoring game, maybe good for an over/under bet.
