Balls In Your Court Week 5 CFB Picks

Please don’t ask us about last week. It was a rough week for our picks, which resulted in a fantastic day of football. While it was a bad week, like the best teams in the country we have the mental toughness to push through and bounce back in week 5. Trust the Process (Don’t tell that to Sam Hinkie) and believe the preparation comes through on game day. What a great way to bounce back with a deep weekend of great matchups that begins on Thursday night with Miami @ Virginia. On Friday night, in true big ten fashion, 5 ranked Iowa heads to Maryland to defend the Big Ten’s best passer. Saturday we begin the morning with Michigan at Wisconsin as well as Arkansas @ Georgia, followed up by Cincinnati @ Notre Dame and Ole Miss @ Alabama. Finally, the big slate of games ends with Baylor @ Oklahoma State and Arizona State travels to the Rose Bowl vs UCLA. This is a great weekend of games, so lets jump right in!
