Week 5 Upset Alert

We made it through the worst week of college football, and it is now time for conference play.  The Upset Alert post should have more options from here on out. Last week I was right that no top 25 teams would lose, but I was wrong with the games to keep an eye on.  Lets jump ahead to week 5.

LSU @ Georgia
I know the Tigers offense is looking like one of the best in the SEC.  Michigan Man Cam Cameron is doing a great job so far in Baton Rouge, but Georgia has one of the best offenses in the country. I expect this game to be every bit as entertaining as the Texas A&M and Alabama game.  Both teams are breaking in a lot of new starters on defense, so points will not be hard to come by in this heavyweight bout. I think both Mettenberger and Murray will have big games, but Todd Gurley will be the x-factor in this game.  Georgia at home should be able to get a lead, and since the Dawgs can run the ball more effectively they should be able to keep the LSU offense off the field.

Oklahoma @ Notre Dame
My thoughts about the Irish have changed dramatically since the 2nd weekend of the season, but I don't think Oklahoma is a very good team.  Notre Dame will give Blake Bell a lot of different defensive fronts to think about, and they should be able to get in the backfield quite a bit Saturday afternoon.  The game plan should be more similar to the Michigan game, and Tommy Rees should be more comfortable in the short passing attack.  I think he bounces back with a big game. Also, remember that weird things happen in South Bend.

Arizona @ Washington
As much as I don't want to do this, but Rich Rod has another pretty good team in Tucson. They are led by one of the best running backs in the country Ka'Deem Carey.  Washington hasn't seen a rushing attack like this yet, and I doubt they will be able to stop it let alone slow it down.  Keith Price is prone to giving the ball to the other team at least twice each game, and the running spread attack should be able to control the clock more than the Huskies. This should be a good matchup to see if the Wildcats are contenders in the Pac12 South.
