Another crazy week of college football is in the books and week five looks to have some great games as well. Last week we saw a few teams score 70 plus, LSU lost to Mississippi State at home, Oregon had a scare at Washington State, and Auburn won at Kansas State. Clemson choked against Florida State, too, that one went to O.T. And Arizona beat Cal with a hail mary scoring 36 in the fourth quarter!

PREDICTIONS
Last week was tough for predictions, I went 6-4, putting me at 23-14 for the season. Here are my predictions for this week.
Iowa at Purdue: Iowa's offense finally looked alive in the second half against Pitt and they should be able to keep that momentum against Purdue.
Iowa 31 Purdue 17
Baylor at Iowa State: Both teams had a week off, Baylor's high-powered offense travels to Ames.
Baylor 56 Iowa State 21
Fresno State at New Mexico: Both teams finally got their first wins of the season last week, both teams need a lot of work on defense. This should be a shootout.
Fresno State 49 New Mexico 42
Texas Tech at Oklahoma State: This should be a good matchup, Tech is coming off of a loss to Arkansas and they're looking to bounce back. Ok State has been tough thus far.
Oklahoma State 38 Texas Tech 34
UCLA at Arizona State: This game is a huge for the division, winner will have an easier shot at the championship game.
Arizona State 34 UCLA 27
Maryland at Indiana: This is going to be another high scoring game, can Maryland win their first Big Ten game?
Indiana 45 Maryland 34
Stanford at Washington: Stanford needs a win if they want to contend for a conference title. Washington is unbeaten, but they haven't really won convincingly in games that they should have.
Stanford 28 Washington 17
Cincinnati at Ohio State: Cincinnati has only played two games, but they won both behind the arm of Gunner Kiel. Will he be able to give the Buckeyes some troubles? This one could be close.
Ohio State 28 Cincinnati 27
Missouri at South Carolina: Loser of this game will have two losses and will most likely be out of any playoff contention.
South Carolina 34 Missouri 21
Duke at Miami: Duke is 4-0, Miami is 2-2 with a loss in conference already. The Canes need to bounce back quickly.
Miami 31 Duke 28
Oregon State at USC: This is a tough one to predict, USC had a huge win against Stanford and then they lost to Boston College.
USC 31 Oregon State 24
HEISMAN WATCH
