Based off AP top 25
Top 10 Breakdown
#1 Alabama at Arkansas
-- Alabama is just going to be too dominant on both sides of the ball for me to even think Arkansas has a shot. I also gotta say Alabama's true freshman QB Jalen Hurts has showed a lot of elusiveness and poise as an overall quartback through the first 5 weeks. I look for Hurts to have a big game and lead Nick Saban and The Alabama Crimson Tide to yet another WIN.
#2 Ohio St. VS Indiana
-- I would like to think that after a big overtime victory over Michigan St. last week, that Indiana would give up a fight to Ohio St., but let's me honest here. The Buckeyes are outscoring opponents 229-37 through the first 4 games. Do I believe Ohio St. should be ranked at #2 based on the entire schedule....NO Of Course Not! But based on the opponent this week Ohio St. will dominate the Hoosiers of Indiana.
#3 Clemson at Boston College
-- Going into Clemsons week 5 matchup with Louisville I was skeptical about the Tigers and didn't think they could hold Heisman hopeful Lamar Jackson, but they did and escaped with a victory. I believe this week is no different and Clemson will dominate Boston College.
#4 Michigan at Rutgers
It's Michigan and it's Rutgers....Nuff Said...I'm taking Michigan here big over Rutgers
#5 Washington at Oregon
-- Washington has definetly surprised me this year. First being a top of the PAC 12 (although it's early), and second Ranked in the Top 5 for the first time in a good chunk of time. But they are traveling to play a hungry Oregon Team who is looking for a Win. Since 2004 Oregon has won every meeting between these 2 teams and I don't see a change happening this year. I'm putting Washington on upset alert this week.
#6 Houston at Navy
-- The University of Houston Cougs have been so dominant week in and week out and are making a statement every week by blowing out there soft schedual opponents to get in the 4 team playoff. I honestly believe with Houstons dominant defense and with Greg Ward taking the snaps nobody can beat this UofH squad. Not even Navy. I'm picking Houston to outscore Navy by 35+ points.
#7 Louisville bye
#8 Texas A&M VS Tennessee
-- I can't believe I'm saying this but College football fans A&M is back. Don't get me wrong Tennessee has been playing some good football but let's get real here, they have been pretty lucky the past couple of weeks. I think there luck runs out when the Volunteers travel down to College Station. For the aggies to come away with a win here Trevor Knight simply has to be the manager at QB and just take control but don't make bone headed decisions. Another Key for A&M is for this very talented, hard hitting defense to keep up there dominance.
#9 Tennessee at Texas A&M

#10 Miami VS Florida St.
-- Mark Richt has done a tremendous job in his efforts to rebuild the Miami Hurricanes football program and putting them back on the map to the college football world. I like Miami in this matchup simply because what we have seen out of Jimbo Fisher and the Florida St. seminoles through the first couple of weeks. I just think overall Deondre Francois is still too young to have the reigns of the Seminoles.
#11 Wisconsin bye
#12 Nebraska bye
#13 Baylor bye
